WASNING TO POULTEY PUECHASEES. 



Allow me to put purchasers of poultry on their guard 

 against what I consider extremely like swindling. Some time 

 ago I noticed an advertisement in your paper of Spanish 

 fowls, &o., intending pm'chasers to apply to certain initials at 

 the post-ofBce, Bayswater, London. I applied and received 



a reply, with card enclosed, purporting to be from Mr. 



surgeon, 4, Queen's Koad, Bayswater, London, stating price 

 and particulars, and requesting a post-office order, on the 

 receipt of which the fowls should be sent off. Unfortunately 

 placing reliance on the apparent genuineness of the affair, I 

 sent off a post-office order, which was acknowledged ; and in 

 a few days afterwards, instead of the fowls, I received a let- 

 ter stating that they had been stolen on the night before 

 they were to have been sent off; but that, unless they could 

 be found in the course of a few days, the money would, of 

 course, be returned. I waited some time, and when next I 

 wrote had my letter returned through the dead letter office 

 with the remark on the back " Keturned from the post-office, 

 4, Queen's Eoad, Bayswater, W., address not known," I 

 suppose I have seen the last of my post-office order. — A 

 Victim. 



[This is a new and very artful mode of swindling. The 

 swindler in this instance made use of the name of a gentle- 

 man of high respectability resident at Bayswater, but with 

 .an address different from his, so that if any persons 

 inquired as to the respectability of the alleged vendor they 

 might be misled to believe that he was really the vendor, 

 but had changed his residence.] 



BUOKINGHAMSHIEE DUCKEES. 



DucKEES are a class of persons resident within ten miles of 

 Aylesbury, whose chief, if not only employment is to furnish 

 ducklings for the Loudon market. They may be divided 

 into two classes— those who keep Ducks solely to furnish 

 eggs, and those who rear ducklings from those eggs. There 

 are individuals in the former class who keep 5000 head, and 

 in the latter, who despatch 2000 ducklings to London 

 every season between February and October. 



In Ireland the pig is allowed free entrance to his master's 

 cabin, and the warmest place at the hearth, because he pays 

 the rent. In Buckinghamshire Ducks are held in the same 

 esteem, and enjoy the same privilege. On account of the filth 

 so engendere<l (and I know one small hamlet of twenty 

 houses inhabited by duckers, wherein eighteen persons died 

 of cholera in 1849), many landlords refuse to allow their 

 tenants to keep Ducks. If they do not object, the village 

 board of health have rare work with the duckers ; and if the 

 cottages are kept clean, the duckers usually contrive to be 

 summoned before the magistrates for defiling running 

 streams. 



When Cbristmaa has turned, and the Ducks begin to lay, 

 the duckers look out for a brooding hen. Poultry books tell 

 you, that you should never soil good brood hens. The 

 duckers know better. When a brood is raised, the foster- 

 mother is sold, because her keep in the interim would coat 

 more than the purchase of another when wanted. 



Under the advice of my Mentor, I laid out one sliilling 

 in the purchase of a lien, who might from her venerable 

 appearance have laid eggs for the breakfast of the Red 

 Fisherman, when 



" He fished In the ark with Noah and Bhem."
