During the past fall he sold 30,000 eggs for setting, whichwere from 80 to 87 per cent fertile. At present he is getting about 600 eggsper day. Mr. Almy has shipped the past fall over 400 birds to all parts ofthe country, and it is the same with this leading breeder of the Reds aswith scores of others that the demand is rapidly increasing. Quite a littleof Mr. Almys stock has been shipped to this section of the State during thepast few years, and they have not only proved prize winners, but splendidbreeders.—Pittsfield (Mass.) IDEAL ROSE COMB WHITE LEGHORN TRIO. These handsome birds are of medium size, persistent as layers, beingpoor sitiers or non-sitters, having fair fattening qualities and very goodflesh. They are besides hardy, suffering from severe weather much lessthan the Spanish. With this breed they are evidently closely allied, allhaving single combs, large white ear-lobes, and in many cases partly whitefaces, and in the best specimens something of the style of that justlyfavorite breed. This variety may be highly recommended for general use,and where a superior chicken is desired. MAMMOTH BRONZE TURKEYS.
