VARIETIES OF DOMESTIC FOWL. 99 



"The Frizzled fowl has its feathers pointing forward, so 

 that it cannot run amongst the grain ; and this is its peculiar 

 advantage." 



Dr. Eben Wight, of Boston, the distinguished importer of 

 fowls, has imported many of this variety. 



Our portraits represent the beautiful Black Frizzled fowl, 

 from the stock of Mr. George C. Peirce, of Danvers, who, in 

 connection with his partner, Mr. Stephen Osborn, Jr., has 

 one of the most extensive assortments of fowls in New Eng- 

 land, having twenty different breeds. The above portraits 

 speak well of them as breeders, and, in fact, no fowls were 

 more highly admired than their stock, at the late exhibition.
