BRAHMAs AND HoUDANs.-A corre-
spondent of the Country Gentleman
writes:
The above named breeds have proved
the most profitable to me. Their char
acteristics are too well known to need
description. We usually keep an equal
number of light Brahmas and Houdans,
and all pure bred, always breeding from
the best, and usually nothing but the
best Houdan cocks. We thus obtain
two classes of chicks, pure bred Houd-
ans and Brahma- -Houdans. The first
we esteem most highly for laying, the
last for table use, as they are hardy,
rapid growers, and grow to great size,
combining the size of the Brahma and
the fine firm texture of the Houdan.
The cross thus formed has as good lay
ing qualities as either breed, being for
the most part non-setters; but they
should in no wise be bred from, as their
progeny loses the good qualities of the
parent stock.
Breeders will always have their favor
ite fowls; but |, as common farmer,
from experience, observation and in
ouiry, have come to the conclusion that
the light Brahma is the best Asiatic, and
the Houdan the best French fowl now
bred.

OATMEAL AS FooD.-An American
lady, medically educated abroad" de-
clares that the primary cause of the
physical deterioration OF the people OF
the United States lies in the fact that
they do not live upon oatmeal and
crushed wheat, but persist in running
their stomachs with eggs, butter, sugar,
meat, fish, and other poisonous articles.
Mush may be very wholesome; but a
life devoted to its consumption must ul-
timately become somewhat monotonous.
And besides, if it be true that "He who
drinks beer thinks beer" it is reason
