PIGEONS. 



A very excellent collection of about one hundred pens of Pigeons WM' 

 to be seen at Salisbury. Tbc competition in most of the classes was 

 very sovere, as it will be seen by reference to the prize list that most 

 of our principal Pi^^eon amateurs had made entries. We rei^rot to| 

 find that "trimming" Pigeons is now becoming equally f,'enoral as in.' 

 times gone by was customary in the poultry classes. The Judges, 

 however, seemed determined to put a stop, ii possible, to such prac-- 

 tices, and consequently disqualified Pigeons so tampered with from^ 

 taking prizes. '^

POULTRY TOO LATE AT THE WOODBRIDGB 



SHOW. 



I 3ES that, according to your notice of the Woodbridg* 

 Poultry Show, a number of exhibitors were shut out from 

 competing by the late arrival of their birds. I am sorry to say 

 that we were one of the unfortunates; and I should be glad to 

 hear from those who were likewise sufferers, so that we may 

 endeavour at least to obtain the expenses we have needlesBly 

 been put to from those who are in fault, and I suspect we shall 

 all be able to lay our compla'nts at the same door. — Manaoeb, 

 National Poultrtj Covipany [Liviitedj, Bromley, Kent.

REMOVING THE GAPES-CAUSING PARASITE *t 



While on the subject of poultry let me also recommend rf 

 plan I have tried for years with success when birds are affected' 

 with the gfipes. It is worth all the nostrums advertised. Tha 

 whole apparatus consists in a thin piece of gut, such as flies 

 are fastened on, coarser for chickens than for Tbeasauts, and 

 tolerably stiff, about from 4 to 6 inches long, and fastened at 

 the end of the loop with a piece of sealing wax by way of 

 handle. Put this gut down the windpipe, twist it round half- 

 a-dozen times, and you will draw out the parasite that givf 9 ao 

 much trouble ; repeat the process two or three times and let 

 the chicken go*. From being so flexible no harm is done to the 

 tender tube of the wiudpipe; wire kills as often as it cures. 

 When a chick is first attacked is the best time for the opera- 

 tion. The larger the worm the more he has taken out of th» 

 chicken, and before feeding U better than after a meal. Keep
