Breeds and Their CHARACTERISTICS.

CROSSES.

Tie introduction of gigantic Asiatic
poultry prodt ced great change Tor
the better in Cur poultry yards. The
little square, bony fowls we once called
poultry, are now almost forgotten; for
one or the other of the improved
breeds has left its impression on our
poultry from Maine to California; but
the greatest improvement tor general
use lies in the new breeds produced by
crossing the Aslatlcs with our small,
non-sitting birds to produce a perma-
nent breed tina. will hatch their own
young, make fair table birds, mature
early and be fair layers. This has
been tried in the Plymouth Rocks,
with fair degree, of success; say a
fair degree as am not as well pleased
as some people are with fowls of this
breed as now bred, and here are my
reasons; t mu, h Importance has been
attached TO SIZE; this brings out the
Asiatic feature, and the production OF
heavy, clumsy birds is encouraged at
the expense of laying qualities. as | am
certain the nallest Plymouth Rocks
lay the best; they partake more of the
Dominique characteristics in being
prolific layers.
another new breed, from Asiatic
crossing Which promises much if the
"America Standard of Excellence
does not insist too much on size, is the
Wyandotte. This is an Asiatic cross
on the Hamburg, which is too small a
fowl to be very useful in itself; but
IN this new form, we have d comely,
clean-looking, closely-feathered, small
and hat-combed, yellow-legged, early
featheting and maturing, strong breed,
which do their own Matching. and are
quiet, peaceful birds, but we should
keep them down to fair size, or we
may as we'll breed pure Asiatics, and
lose the fine laying characteristics o.
the Hamburgs, which is a great feature
with fowls of that breed, though theil
eggs are small. The Wyandotte egg:
are not large, but they are of fan
marketable size. which the Hamburg:
are not. What we gain in this breec
is harder and larger bird than the
Hamburg, combining the laying anc
other qualities enumerated above.

Why Venus Transitsd.

I'VE are sorry to learn that our
"Transit of Venus" occasioned any
hard feelings but we hope the publica-

transit, furnished by tone Of the We

When the aforesaid Venus arose
from the foam she had Just two ideas
in her head. The first was admiration
for Apollo, the second, admiration for

tale. Apollo was a splendid fellow in
those days. Tall and broad, with am
brosial locks; fine, firm foot, and the
tread of q god. All the nymphs, both
terrestrial and celestial, were dead In
love with him, completely ''mashed,n
you know. He wore a toga then-a
kind of sheet draped gracefully and
statuesquely about him, that showed
his fine curves and supple muscles.
Doubtless there might have been a
handsOmer fellow, but doubtless there
was not. Alas! with years came fool
ishness. Now he has tOothpick shoes,
and wears cane, pom honor, and he
has banged his ambrosial locks to
within . sixteenth of an inch of his
scalp; he has store clothes and q stiff
hat. And he is pretty! Bless his pal
little heart, he is pretty,
"and don't you believe it either"
And Venus thought ''ifApollo is pref
tier that way, shall Be too" Venus
always was susceptible. Thus "Sic
Transit Venus" and Sic Ok Venus It
