with those things they would find at liberty. Let them have a 

 supply of lettuces that have gone to seed, and of refuse vege- 

 tables. Let them have large sods of growing grass, cut with 

 plenty of fresh earth ; road grit if it cau be had. Feed them 

 morning and evening with ground oats or barleymeal, the 

 former preferable, slaked with water or pot-liquor. In the 

 middle of the day barley and house or table scraps. If you do 

 this we will warrant you healthy birds, and such, if they are 

 well seen to, are profitable, inasmuch as they aSord nice food 

 and healthy amusement at small cost. — Eds.]

STANNINGLEY AND FARSLEY POULTRY SHOW. 



The second Sliow of tliis Society tooli place on the 26tli inst. AI- 

 thougli the prizes had been enhanced in value since last year, the 

 entries were not numerons, bnt the birds shown were Efood. The cup 

 was awarded to a good pen of Buff Cochins. In Grame Bantaiiis., Dnck- 

 wings of promising quality were first and Brown Eeds second ; and in 

 the Variety class for Bantams, Blact was first and White second. Both 

 prizes in the Ductwing Game class went to chictens. 



No part of the Show was better than the Rabhit classes, the animals 

 both measuring well and showing high development in shape and style. 

 The medal for Kabbits was won by a splendid Yellow doe 22 inches 

 by 4| in ear, large, well-shaped, and in the highest condition and fur. 



In Pigeons Pouters won the cup, and the entries in all classes were 

 good, the prizes being closely contested^. The first-prize Black Caii-iers 

 were a promising pair of young, and the second prize went to Duns. 

 For Turbits the first were Yellows with spike heads, and the second 

 Bines with shell crowns, and Blues won both prizes in Dragoons. 

 Antwerps were a large class, and many more prizes might have been 

 dispensed most deservedly. The Fantails and On-ls were of great 

 merit. In the Variety class Mottled Trumpeters were first and Swal- 

 lows second. A pen of White Barbs containing the most extraordinary 

 cock bird of that kind we ever saw, was very highly commended.

RYHOPE POULTRY SHOW. 



This was held on the !2Sth Jnst. in a large field in the suburhs of 

 Sunderland, and although a small exhibition took place last year, this 

 may he fairly stated to be the first real Show. Considering this fact, 

 it is surprising that the arrangements were so complete, and young as 

 the Society iS, we are glad to be able to record an innovation which 

 might he copied with advantage by older societies. In front of the 

 pens — on Turner's principle, which were obtained from Sunderland — 

 and at the distance of about a yard, a line of posts and railings were 

 erected about breast high. No one was allowed within this enclosure, 

 and the crowding in front of the pens, which in some cases becomes 

 positively unpleasant, was altogether prevented. 



Dorlcinqs were first on the list, and the winners were large-framed 

 birds ; but the Cochins, with the exception of a pen that arrived too 

 late for competition, were not in good bloom. Some fair Bralimas 

 were shown, as also Sjmnish, but the cup for the first section fell to 

 the lot bf an excellent pen of Silver PolamU. Game were shown in 

 the largest nnmbers, hut many of them were out of feather, although 

 the classes presented plenty of quality, and the cup for this section 

 was awarded to a sturdy-looking Brown Red cock. With the exception 

 of the Eed Game Bantams, no other class called for special notice, 

 bnt this was the best class in the Show, many of the birds being very 

 fine, and the cup, which was won by adult Black Eeds, was very keenly 

 contested, and two extra prizes were awarded.
