ORMSiaRK AND SOUTHPORT POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held on the 11th inst., in conjunction with an AjrricuUural 

 and Horticnltural Show. The entries of poultry and Pigeons amounted 

 to 204. It is not too muc;h to say that seldom has there heen a hatter 

 collection. Some of the Dorkings could scarcely be suipassed iu any 

 jiart of England, and the whole claas, adults and chickens, may he set 

 down as very good. As regards CocJiin- China fowls thero was the best 

 show we have seen for some time. The Brahma Pootras. though there 

 were not many of them, deserved great praise. Of Spanish the adults 

 were first-class, and the chickens were of such excellent quality that 

 the Judges must have had great ditEculty iu deciding ; nearly all the 

 birds were highly commended. There were only few entries of Game 

 fowls, and these were not very good. It would seem that this class of 

 birds is not bred with the same cgre as it was formerly. The com- 

 petition was close for the best Golden-spangled Uamfntrffhs^ which were 

 very good. The Silver-spangled were still better, and deserve the 

 highest commendation. There were exhibited in these classes some of 

 the choicest bijds in England, Blr. Beldou, from Biugley, being very 

 successful. The Ducks were excellent, particularly some Aylesbury 

 Ducks from that place. The Geese were good, and the TnrkeySy especi- 

 ally one splendid pen from Rochdale, wete much admired. The 

 entries of Pigeons w^e .not very numerousf but those exhibited were 

 choice birds.

CONVULSIONS IN YOUNG EABBITS. 



I HAVE kept tame Rabbits for some time, aud bave found in 

 almost all cases that the young ones die wheu abouT tix weeks ol5. 

 The Rabbits eeem quite right one hour, and the next hour they 

 are struggling and rolling over and ov€r until they die. They do 

 not sometimes die for hours. I should be glad if you vv-'ould 

 iiive an opinion as to the cause of death, and the remedy. The 

 Rabbits do not die from too much green meat, for they have 

 little or none. The food they have is carrots and carrot tops, 

 bran, meal, &c. They are licpt in a very large ^irerun, open
