Make-Up of Broilers.

A should have a good, plump breast, broad back, clean yellow legs and yellow skin, and small comb. Such is the American epicure’s ideal but these requirements bar out such breeds as Brahmas, Cochins, Langshans, or any crosses on them, on account of the feathers on their legs. They bar out all white-skinned fowls, and put a damper on all large-comb birds like Leghorns, M inorcas, etc. Such being the case, the Wyandottes have easy sailing; and, besides, being quick growers are more desirable for this purpose.
