Excerpt from The Feather's Wyandotte Book As stated in the short introduction to this book, Mr. Joseph Wallace and myself were close friends for many years. One of the earlier works on the Wyandotte was written by Mr. I. K. Felch and Mr. Wallace, both of whom knew the history of the Silver variety from its early advent. I take the liberty of using Mr. Wallace's own words as to their origin, as recorded by him in his work on Wvandottes, published by the Ferris Publishing Co., of Albany, in 1891, by permission of Mr. Holmes. "Much praise is due the fancier who improves and beautifies his flock, and much more is due the one who originates and gives.to the world the creation of his skill and the result of his labors. It is to be regretted that we can not render the originator of Silver Wyandottes any testimony of praise and esteem, as his name is unknown to the poultry fraternity, and the grave refuses to disclose the identity of our great benefactor, who has left behind him the first fruits of his efforts, to be worked over by willing and loving hands, and, in the end, by judicious crossing and combining different elements together, evolving one of the most useful breeds known to poultrymen. "The Silver Wyandotte is the result of composite crosses, varying widely in plumage and general characteristics.
