REARING FOWLS FOR MARKET
AND EGGS.
THE BEST BREED TO REAR FOR MARKET

| The best breed of fowls to rear for the
market, or as egg producers depends
upon locality; for while in some places
one variety is deemed the best, in others
1T would prove the reverse. Our own
opinion is, that, for market fowl, the
Dramas and Cochin will, under almost
all circumstances, prove the most desIra-
BILE, they being less liable TO disease,
teathering up quickly, and can be bred to
weigh, at six monChs of age, from eight
to ten pounds. Another good table fowl
is the Dorking (cock) crossed with the
Brahma (hep). The flesh of this cross is
sweet and nutritious, and acquires an at
early age the plumpness or the Dorking
at maturity. Thers are other breeds,
however, which are said to be desirable
to rear for the tab e. Many clain4 that
the French breed of fowls are OF this
number; but this we very much doubt,
as their flesh lack the buttery, golden
color that attracts the eye of the epicurt.
They may prove valuable AS egg pro-
ducers, but they lack many good quail.
ties az table bird. Dorklngs are un-
doubtedly at the head of the list as table
birds, but Of late years have become SO
subject to disease that we question the
feasibility Of rearing them profitable for
mark ct in our changeable northern Gil
mate.
THE BEET EGG-PRoDUCERs
AS egg-producers the Hamburgs are
claimed to stand At the head of the list.
This claim we are prepared to dispute !;
for, as winter layers, We find that the
Brahma Cochin, Leghorn, Poland and
Houdan stand relatively in the position
here named. That the Hamburgs are
good egg-prolucerS we admit; but that
they are amy better than a number OF non
setting fowls, 80 called, we deny. The
richness and meatiness of their eggs are
not to be compared with those OF the
Poland, Leghorn, Houdan or BrahmA /;
and their eggs lack the size of thosc
named. All things considered, we have
no hesitancy in saying that for eggs we
should name the Polands; for the table,
Dorkings, and for early mark etable
chickens. Brahmas and Cochins,

POCKET FIRE EsCAPE.--Rev. G. A.
England of this city has invented and
patented a continuance for escape from
burning buildings, which for simplicity
and perfection surpasses anything we
have ever before heard Of The whole
apparatus, including sixty feet Of. rope,
weighs only one and a-half pounds, and
occupies space three inches square by
eight inches long, and is warranted to
sustain weight of over five hundred
poards.
A descent from the fifth story of a
building can be made in half minute.
A lady can use it with perfect safety; it
cannot get out of order-is always ready
for use, and it will not allow any one
using it to fall. 1t is reversible, and the
same escape can be used in rapid success
sion by any number of persons, or, one
man can lower any number. of people,
and then descend himself.
The escape is put up in convenient
form, with full directions for use on the
cover of the box, and if we are not mis-
taken will meet with rapid sale as soon
IS its merits become known Several men
came down from the top of Kimball Hall
last Tuesday afternoon with the aid of the
Escape, and quite crowd collected upon
our streets to witness the descent. 0t
