WE know no breed of Poultry that has gained a more Wonderful 1 opularity. in so short a time, than the PLYMOUTH 

 KOCKS. This popularity is wonderful when we cjiisider that Pure Bred Poultry is chiefly cultivated by Fan- 

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

 ical qualities. This is almost the only breed of Poultry iu which nothing has been sacri&ed for mere fancy. They 

 origiuated by crosses of several breeds, thus gaining great vigor and streugth of constitutlou. They have large, well- 

 shaped bodies, with a superabundance of choice meat on the breast and most 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 Plymouth 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. They make first-class mothers, and the chicks are hirdy 

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

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

 mongrels. We think the day is not far distant when these fowls will be bred by Farmers everywhere for market. The 

 outlook at present points this way, as all farmers who have tried them pronounce them all that can be desired. The de- 

 mand for them already far eicoeda expectancy— out -selling now any other breed.
