"TTT'E know no breed of Poultry that has gained a more Wonderful FopuUirily. in so short a time, than the PLYMOUTH 

 VV ROCKS. This popularity is wonderful wlien wp consider th:f Pui-e Bred Poultry is chiefly cultivated by Fan- 

 ciers, whose aim is artistic beauty, and the Plymouth Rocks possess few fancy points — their merits being in their econom- 

 ical qualities. This is almost the only breed of Poultry in which nothing has been sacritied for mere fancy. They 

 originated by crosses of several breeds, thus gaining great vigor and ntreagth of coustitut'on. They have large, well- 

 shaped bodies, with a superabundance of choice meat on the breast and moat esteemed parts. They will attain a weight 

 of FIVE POUNDS at four months, when they make splendid market fowls, while the Asiatics are not ready to market 

 until eight months old. The PliTuouth Rocks have bright yellow legs, free from any feathers, and beautiful yellow skin. 

 They are good layers, and are not hard to break from sitting. Tbey make first-class mothers, and the chicks are hirdy 

 and easy to raise! They are in a pre-eminent degree the FARRIER'S FOWL, combining as they do more excellencies for 

 general farm use than any other breed now known. They pay better to raise pure fur market than any cross-breeds or 

 mongrels. We think the day is not far distant wheu these fowls wUl h'i bred by Farmers everywhere for market. The 

 outlook at present points this way, as all farmers who have tried them i^-onouuce them all that can be des^d. The de- 

 maud for them already far exceeds expectancy— out-selling now any oth^ breed.
