An unusually long plumaged cock that won first at Boston, 1907, was shown by Elm Poultry Yards. His picture is No. 8. There is a proud bearing in the pose of this bird, and the neck with its bold arch is joined nicely to the head. The expression and form of the eyes are fine. The surface of on the Leghorn female. One old breeder whose Leghorns won at many leading shows twenty years ago, told us he succeeded best in producing fine-combed males by using females that had m...
