GOOD FOWLS FOR LAYING.
A noted writer on fowls says: N
laying hens select large, strong, heali
birds of the Leghorn varieties, wi
large, square bodies, without regard
fine points, such as pure white, flat a
iobes, or very yellow legs, or combs VII
Just five points, or plumage that is F
fectly white in the white variety,
without white speck in the brown
is not that these points are any der
ment to the health and vigor Of d
birds, but that constitution has be-
too often sacrificed to them, which Oft
results in a strain of enfeebled thou
handsome fowls. The Leghorns are !
climated American breeds, which orl
mated from birds brought from the Ne
iterranean, and they have been i
proved in this country by circumstanc
that have given them a pre-eminent
sltion for the farmer, when birds SD
as are above recommended are selecte

they are hardy, fleshy, tender and fin
