DON'T DESPISE THE COMMON FOWLS.
The common hens are of all shapes and colors that fowls ever grow, and they are usually neglected, abused, half starved, and left to shift for themselves generally; but for all that they generally pay their way, and more, too —live and thrive, and bi iig up big families of healthy chicle as under the most discouraging circumstances. Common fowls are extremely hardy, good foragers, mature early, are good layers, good setters, and excellent mothers; ad if you cannot afford to start with nook of pure-bred fowls, believe me, it will pay to start with *2>mmon fowls. Take the same pains them that you would with a stock of thoroughbreds, and they will respond quickly and generously. There is something— a good deal m blood but there is also an immence deal in care and feed.
