Jinnary 30, IMfl. ] JOUBNAL OF HOKTICaLT0BE AND COTTAGE GAKDENER. 



105 



Of Cochin-Ckina fowls, and Ura/unus, there was a most excellent 

 display. Jfamburghs mustered very strongly, and were mostly exhi- 

 bited in first-rate condition. The Itaittam^ were the only variety that 

 scarcely held so high a position as they have formerly at this Show. 

 The uufavonrabic weather of late, it must be remembered, is especially 

 unfavourable to thcne smaller breeds. Qccsf, DiicLs, and Ttirb-'/s verc 

 shown by the most noted of our breeders, and a better display could 

 not be wished for. Carolinas, Mandarins, Shell-Ducks, and other 

 scarce breeds made the Variety class for Ducks especially interesting. 



It was at Jedburgh, some few years back, that " selling " classes 

 proved themselves so popular, and judging from the great number of 

 birds entered and the large amount of sales effected, they still stand 

 well in the good opinion of amatcnrs generally. 



Tlio collection of Fiijtons was far in advance of tliOaC of preceding 

 years, the competition in most of the classes being unusually close ; 

 and altlioagh it may api>eflr invidious when all are so good to select 

 any varieties especially, we cannot avoid mentioning the Pouters. Owls, 

 Jacobins, and the Vanety class, as being throughout of most extraor- 

 dinary merit. 



Fine bright weather gave additional zest to the Shew ; and the com- 

 pany embraced most of the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, 

 together with an attendance on the last day hitherto quite unexampled.

UTILISING AND UNITING CONDEMNED BEES. 



[Continued fiom i^agc 88.) 

 Havi>;g unpacted my empty hives, and all thingg being 

 ready, I proceed either by close or opeu driving as may be best 

 suited to my purpose. The first being the most rapid and 

 certainly the least formidable to a beginner, whilst it answers 

 every purpose when it is not desired to capture the queen, I 

 will begin by describing it. Commence by standing the bucket 

 firmly on the ground about a yard from the stock to be operated 

 upon. Unrol the cloth and cord, taking care of the pin, and 

 lay them, with two empty hives and a bee cloth, on the ground 

 beside the bucket. Next light the fumigator, and blow a little 

 smoke into the hive's mouth. As soon as the bees retire the 

 hive must be slightly raised from its floor board, and a few 

 whiffs of smoke blown under it all round. Then boldly lift 

 the hive altogether from its place and steadily invert it on the 

 bucket, covering it immediately with one cf the empty hive?', 

 and closing the junction of the two by first winding the cloth 

 round tiiem, and teroporarily fastening it by means of the pin^
