poultrymen keep a less proportion than
that The following from the Americaa
Foacjer'S Gazette, give the prominent
points Of different breeds:
In the egg-producing class, the Leg
horns stand pre-eminently above all
others. The variety consists Of the
white and the brown. The browns ap-
pear to be the iayorites, being hardy,
easily raised, and maturing quickly
the pullets often laying at four months
Pullets Of this breed frequently lay as
high IS $50 eggs during the year
Their large comb and pendants require
warm house during oar rigorous win
tiers.
The next in high favor IS the Black
Spanish; these ike the former. are
non-setters, and prolific, but not so
easily raised. They do not, until nearly
grown, get their full feathers, being
generally half naked for a considerable
time after Matching These, ike the
Leghorns, require comfortable winter
quarters. owing 20 their large con- b and
wattlcs.
The Houdans, = French breed, come
next as layers and non-sctters. This is
what they call = mo9c breed, between
the Poland and Dorking- showing the
characteristic crest C the former and
the fifth toe of the latter. Although
not as continual layers as he two varie-
ties mentioned, yet they possess points
