"EGOMET," ADVEETISEMENTS. &c. 



"Egomet" (see Journal of Hokticulture, November 

 17th, page 401), expressed my own opinions and feelings so 

 very exactly, that I felt inclined to construe this compound 

 pronoun as 1 did at school, " I myself." 



I have always found poultry-fanciers a veiy genial brother- 

 hood — aye, and sisterhood, too, for we must not forget that 

 amon<; the latter are many of the most successful exhibitors, 

 and what, perhaps, is of more importance, the best under- 

 standers of the domestic feathered tribes : so that I think 

 a plan might be possible and feasible among them, which 

 would be neither possible nor feasible among fanciers of 

 some other things, horses for example, for the touch of 

 horseflesh seems to interfere sadly with common honesty. 

 Hence to my notion "An Exhibitor in a Small Wat" 

 jjropounds a good scheme, which " Egomet " endorses, but 

 which the Editors of this Journal could alone decisively tell 

 us whether or not it could be successfully earned out ; the 

 said scheme being " to set apart a column of this paper in 

 which subscribers could notify their wants as to buying, 

 selling, and exchanging, without the formality of an adver- 

 tisement." Of course, this must be for amateurs only. 

 Next, I will give my reasons. Advertisements are by many 

 persons greatly distrusted. Incumbents advertise for 

 curates: '"Ah!" exclaim some people, "can't get on with 

 the poor young men, always changing, jealous, &c." Curates 

 advertising: "Ah! lazy fellows, been eveiywhere, and 

 liked nowhere." Horses advertised for sale. "Ah! screws." 

 Well, without doubt, although good tilings are to be had 

 through advertisements, yet there is a great prejudice against 

 them, and purchasers do sometimes get woefully deceived. 

 Then, again, suppose we ftmeiers apjjly to biixl-dealers, what 

 then? I, an old Pigeon-fancier, have had veiy mature 

 Dragons sent me for Carriers, and have just missed having 

 had sent me — missed by taking a journey to see them — Uame 

 Bantams with feathered legs, or rather with a plentiful crop 

 of feathers on their legs. Quite recently a friend of mine
