Domestic Fowls.

DOiHCollS OWISs
Among farmers generally the poul
try is considered Of less consequence,
than any other farm stock; and to
speak correctly, "more plague than
profit" Yet apprehend, that usu-
ally they return the value of their
food, and as scavengers, they are
doubtless of great value in the con-
sumption of insects, and foul seeds
While nearly all Farmers keep from
five to fifty fowls, and there are a
great number Of different breeds, to
select from, yet, it has rarely been my
good fortune, to see a flock, showing
that uniformity Of size, color and style,
that would prove them worthy the
name Of a breed. In many focks
there is plainly shown trace of some
Asiastic breed, which gives large size.
Without doubt, t he value of poul-
try in this country has been increased
thousands Of dollars, by crossing with
the Shanghae, Cochen China, and sim
liar fowls.
At present there seems to be no
variety so popular, as the Brahma
the eggs being sold as high as $3.50
per dozen, and a dozen fowls adver-
tised for one hundred dollars. 1t is
evident, that at such prices, the keep
ing Of fowls would be very profitable
