. Annual catalogue of the Freeport Nurseries and Poultry Yards. Nurseries (Horticulture), Illinois, Catalogs; Poultry industry, Catalogs; Nursery stock, Catalogs; Flowers, Catalogs; Fruit trees, Catalogs. 30 The J. W. Miller BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS. We deem it unnecessary to give any lenghty description of this variety. The Barred Plymouth Rocks are so well known by everybody in our own country, as well as in foreign countries, that they hardly need any further praise of ours. It is a fact, that among our practical and useful breeds, there is no breed that has gained a reputation as the Barred Plymouth Rocks. The history of this breed has been a steady upward march and triumph since their introduction. Their size, compactness of body, yellow skin and legs, show that there is no grossness or superfluous points in their make up-. The great poupularity attained by them is without a paralell, and extends beyond the American continent. A liberal feeding of pure wheat with the morning ration tends to benefit egg production. The sweepings about the granary can be used in this way very profitably. For debilitated fowls, or for chicks that have leg weakness, add a tea-spoonful of chloride of iron to each gallon of drinking water. It is harmless, and will prove beneficial in many cases, though it is not a "cure-all. ".
