FANCIERS' JOURNAL AND POULTRY EXCHANGE. 



JJ®* Two of the edible dogs of China are now on exhi- 

 bition at the Zoological Gardens in Paris. If it be found 

 easy to acclimatize them, it is proposed to introduce this new 

 article of food. The dogs in question are small and hairless 

 and enormously fat. They are fed solely on vegetable food, 

 a regimen which imparts a rare delicacy to their flesh.
