OHAPTEB XIV. ASIATIC BREEDS. The Brahmas, Cochins, and Langshans, which comprise the staudard Asiatic breeds, have many desirable qualities. They are docile, not mischievous; fair layers, persistent sitters, and good mothers. As a class, there is little difference between the varieties; what may be said of one will generally apply to the others, the color of plumage being the chief point of preference that decides a choice. LIGHT BRAHMAS. The Light Brahma is now well known amongst breeders and fanciers, but is not yet nearly so popular amongst farmers, and those who rear poultry for market, as it should be. The small head, the lofty carriage, the broad full breast, the deep round body, the short, stout, well-feathered legs, --all mark the high-bred bird, and one producing a great amount of flesh with the least offal. This is one distinguishing feature of the Brahma fowl which renders it a profitable breed for the farmer. No other bird excels it as a winter layer; and as it is a good mother, the plentiful fluff about it serving to keep the chicks warm in the coldest weather, and as the chicks are hardy, it is easy to have very early birds. The young birds, as broilers, are remarkably juicy, wellflavored, and tender; and the young cockerels of four to six months, weighing, as they easily do, six to eight pounds, make most excellent roasters.
