So, if your object is to produce the greatest number of eggs for the least money, you don't want any of the larger breeds; or if your object is the production of meat, you do not want any of the Mediterranean breeds. I think, however, most farmers are better adapted to a union of the two objects, and desire a fowl which will lay a good quantity of eggs, and at the same time have a good sized carcass when a chicken is desired for the table, so would recommend some of the varieties of Plymouth Rocks or Wj^andottes, or some other of the medium- sized fowls. I will close by saying that no farmer should expect to be successful in poultry-raising, unless he takes and carefully reads some of the numer- ous papers devoted exclusively to the raising and care of poultry. An enterprising farmer can not afford to be without an agricultural paper, and in no part of farm work should there be more deviation from the old style of farming than in the care of poultry. , So I consider it necessary for a live, energetic farmer, to take at least one good wide-awake potiltiy journal.'' %1 ^ '.
