Respecting Laagahaas—the nsw breed of fowls that are co rapidly rising into favor in the old. country—the “Journal d’Acolimatation ” speaks most favorably of their wonderful laying powers, the delicacy of their flesh, and tb.cir general hardiness, hi. do 800 states that they were first brought into notice in Franco in IS7S, having then been exhibited by an Englishman named Orotd, ia the B in du Boulogne. Since then they have been d ii'rabted all ever the country. They are easily distinguished from the black Cochin China (with which they have been sometimes confounded, and with which they are not unfrequeatly crossed by those who bread merely for profit) by their powers of flying and handsome tails. Their flesh is delicately white and succulent. The cockerels attain an average weight cf 101 b. Amongst their other valuable qualities they do not scratch, and therefore can be trusted in vegetable and flower gardens, where they prove a terror to insect life. According to the authorities above quoted, the Laugeben is the fowl of the future.
