Wyandotte,. Rhode Island Red. or Orpington. is preferable to the smaller egg breeds, such’as the Leghorns. Not only do fTie. mature fowls of these breeds., because of their larger size, make better table fowls than lite Leghorns, but the young chickens for the -ame Reason make better friers ami roasters, wliereus chickens of the egg are only, suitable lor the smaller 'broilers. 1 ' • - .. ,T--—-—-J’ "
