JOURNAL OF HOKTICULTUEE AND COTTAGE GARDENER, 



[ October 6, 1870. 



Game only moderate as a class, though several single birds were very 

 fine. The Hamburgh chickens in the ■winning pens were all correct 

 specimens, and the winners in Game Bantams also good birds. The 

 single Game cockerel was a capital bird in form and style, but a little 

 flecked in feather. The Geese were large, bnt did not match in colour. 

 There was but one class for Ducks, and Aylesburies won the prizes. 

 There were large and excellent pens of birds, and many more prizes 

 might easily have been distributed in the class. In Pigeons there 

 were some good birds, notably the Carriers, which where Black. The 

 Almond Tumblers were good and the Blue Pouters in the first-prize pen 

 were of great length of limb and feather, closely pressed by a pair of 

 capital Red-pied. In the " Variety class," Black Swallows were first, 

 and English Owls and Ice Pigeons highly commended.

OSWESTRY POULTRY SHOW. 



This Meeting was held on September 29th, and being favoured by 

 most lovely weather, there was an extraordinary attendance of visitors. 

 The Dark Brahmas formed one of the most praiseworthy features of 

 the whole Show ; and in the face of a good competition the Hon. Miss 

 Douglas Pennant took both prizes with birds shown not only in the 

 most admirable condition, but such as have not as yet been brought 

 before the public this season. They will in all probability add yet 

 more triumphs to that lady's yard, as the prohibitory price of £20 

 each couple prevented their immediate appropriation. Many of the 

 Cochins shown were capital chickens ; Mr. Sidgwick took the chief 

 prizes for these. Bamburglis were among the gems of the Show, and 

 as they appear to he so little known in this district, the anxiety evinced 

 by the public for a close inspection of these particular classes was 

 extraordinary. The French fowls had separate classes, and both breeds 

 were well and numerously shown. An amateur may attend many 

 shows ere he meets with so excellent a class for Any other variety as 

 there was at Oswestry ; every pen obtained the favourable notice of the 

 Judge. Geese, Turkeys, and VucJcs, as is always the case at Oswestry, 

 were remarkably good. Although here and there was to be seen an 



unexceptionably good pen of Game fowls, there was not nearly such 

 excellence in these breeds as at former shows.

DERBY POULTRY SHOW. 



This Show was exceedingly well arranged, and the competition was 

 exclusively confined to birds of the present year; notwithstanding, the 

 prizes were, as a whole, very well contested. Some very good Dorkings 

 were shown, but it should be borne in mind by competitors that how- 

 ever perfect in other respects birds may be, malformations of any 

 kind are always inadmissible. A few of the pens of Game chickens 

 were really good, bnt the majority of those shown were scarcely suffi- 

 ciently matured for the show pen. The ffamhurghs were the best 

 ever yet seen at this Society's shows, and were excellent. The Brahmas 

 were "also worthy of very high approval, particularly the Dark-feathered. 

 A large entry of cross-breeds, shown entirely on their merits as table 

 fowls, caused considerable interest. The Geese were one of the most 

 meritorious classes in the Show, and embraced Tonlonse, "White, and 

 Saddle-backed. The special prizes for three pens of poultry of any 

 variety, shown by one exhibitor, brought a competition of seven entries, 

 and visitors seemed to regard this portion of the Derby Exhibition 

 with unusual attention. Pigeons proved scarcely so good as we bad 

 hoped to find them. The promptitude, care, and attention of the 

 Committee in the general management could not be surpassed, and 

 the summer-like weather caused an immense influx of visitors.

CANARY BUG.

 ever tried the follo-wiDg simple remedy for the destruction of 

 that dreadful pest, the Canary bug? Obtain pieces of elder 

 ■wood, force out the pith, pierce several holes through the wood, 

 so as to enable the little animals easily to find their way into
