Show ia r b 90 ro Y 13 T alj ff 5 A h 1 EGG PRODUCING AND profitable 1 FOWLS rt dhave have kept fowls for about thirty years game fowls were my iny first start I 1 stuck to them ahen for many years white dorkings next then grey dorkings then buff Coc cochins cobbins bils bins black IC cochins chins and white Coc cochins hins bins then white crested black bolands polands Po lands and lasts last clied ailed hamburges Ham burghs about nine years ago I 1 began cross crass breeding L and the most profitable fowls I 1 lever ever had bad was w as a cross between the silver I 1 penciled hamburgh cock and white dorkin dorking 0 hen they follow the dorking in appearance app earence most of them five claws white and blue legs white and piles in color with ith sometimes some Bome times one side of a feather in the t tail tali ail all or wing ofa ota of a greyish grevish black they have barea a ready sale inthe in the market wit with lithe the featherson feathers on or dressed they are nice sized plump fowl for a bint kint lemens table and dress beautiful and white they jay a tidy sized egg eg half as large urge again as that of the hamburgh and the same size at both ends they never at tempt to sit and I 1 never heard but one cluck clucks and arid that for about a week but she went on laying the same only stopped a little longer on the nest when velien laying and they will lay frem item nine to ten months without intermission I 1 though the weather b be bad it they are hatched in the last week in april they will begin to lay in october and keep on till june and randsome some of them till july and then when done boulting moul ting they will begin to lay again in december or before and lay as long as they did the first year and as well eo so that m my y m to have them ot two er three different ages theres there as no need tobe hobe to be without I 1 ggs eggs everyday every day in the year they are very great caterers cateress cater ers for themselves they leave nothing unturned that they are likely to find mite iii in consequently they do not require and do not eat near BO so much as many others of the sorts I 1 have mentioned so tai tat taking ing them in every way thep are the most profitable fowls I 1 ever had bad or ever saw amongst any ol 01 my neighbors who have kept many more different sorts than I 1 have but I 1 have bave have always eggs when the they have none I 1 have no doubt they would do 0 well a th tard rd season but I 1 keep them but two so if I 1 was going C to begin ke keeping mg T aultry I 1 should at goit goot once get some good maiden dorking pullets and a good square silver sliver pe penciled acil ed hamburgh cock and breed a stock stack froin from them keep all the young cocks cleared ott oft before they ahey begin to interfere with the hens GO so as not to have them crossed any further than grif on cross t have crossed many cil oil other ether er sorts and given them all a two years trial antl anti have one boit bolt now undergoing a third years trial and that la Is a cross across between the silver penciled ham baige bu rge cochand cock and white crested black poland hen ben now for fr laying there ia Is nothing to e lual them let alone surpass either in con or at large and the egg is a great improvement in ro on the so I 1 advise a va white ite crested created black poland hen or two to breed from as layers tuned down with the labove named and if laying was the only quality I 1 wanted I 1 should make that thai breed the main stock and have more polands bolands aid ard ard less dorkings this cross being non sitters on either side lay full ten months month and have the good quality of boulting moul ting all as it were by ma magic i the they thes fall fal loffin off in laying the last fortnight igl nt and w when en they have laid their last egg in in a mayor day or two you 1 will I see bee two or three feathers turned wrong side up ups and next day hardly any feathers on them the ails tails aliat all ali at once in one I 1 have seen it and all the feathers come on all to together ether they are soon in full plumage and all ail al fright right and begin to tol lay again directly then thien there must be a silver penciled hamburgh hen to breed some cocks for to be reared vp rup with the pullets as the crossbred cross bred cocks aa stated above must be done away neither must the crossbred cross bred hens bens be bred from and lio other sort of stock introduced by that means there will always be the true silver penciled hamburgh breed and the other crosses true to what they are jre intended to be and with a good walk and proper feeding they beat every thing in the poultry way that his come under my notice r worcester 11 in cottage gardener NINTH SESSION OF TIIE THE AMERICAN SOCIETY in

the breaking out of the rebellion was about ance s nce which nearly have been carried from the state for or army purposes this immerse immerge ley for horbes horses has been made throughout the entire country when it IB is considers consi corsi derd that c comparatively few of these horses will find fird their way back that the number which will die of disease or become unfit for service is twenty times as great as it woud would be were they used for an any y other kind of business that to meet this great want of the government a large portion of the guisness buis ness horsch of our large clies cries which have been thrown out of service by general prostration have be been bought up tip readily appears that e even dur during the war horses must advance in price and at its close when business shall revive and trade resume its former channels the demand for good horses must exceed the supply reasoning from these premises no more profitable labor can be engaged in than the production of good
