. The American farmer. A complete agricultural library, with useful facts for the household, devoted to farming in all its departments and details. WHITE bv Sauiuel Cusliman. Puwlucket, R. ROSE-COMBED WHITE LEGHORNS. Bred by N. D. Forbes, New Havea, Conn. 467 POULTRY. 469 eyes are bright and full, and the manner sprightly. Like all the varieties of the Leghornbreed, they are more restless and nervous than many other kinds, and will forage extensivelywhen given the opportunity, which makes them very desirable for those farmers who have a widerange and do not object to poultry having free access to it. They are very hardy and easily reared; being of small size, they require less food thansome of the larger varieties, while they also mature earlier. They are bountiful layers, andare unsurpassed in this respect; the egg is pure white. Their color is such that it drawsmore heat from the suns rays in winter than the white fowl, which some of the poultry fan-ciers, having a partiality to this variety of the breed, give as an argument in favor of brownover the white plumaged fowls, but for our own part we see but little choice in the twovarieties. It is merely a matter of taste
