Mr. Hugh Thomson and Mr. Walter Besant have been making a journey to the East End together—the former to sketch the ins-and-outs of the docks, and Mr. Besant to write about them. It has been stated by an authority on the subject that the amount of the egg product of any breed of fowls depends primarily upon many conditions of age, feeding, care, etc. There is no definite rule, but it may be said, generally, Brahmas lay 100 eggs each per annum ; Cochins some less, say, 70 or 80; Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes, 125 ; and "Hamburgs and Leghorns, 175. Brahmas, Cochins, Wyandottes, and Plymouth Rocks are all good sitters and mothers.
