EGG TESTIMONIALS (continued). 



Dear Sir, — I am happy to inform you that I have liatclied out a good 

 brood of Plymouth Rocks from the eggs supplied March 2nd. They 

 travelled 200 miles, and the result is eleven chickens. I consider it 

 capitally good, and it is to me a proof that eggs for sitting will, if 

 properly packed, hatch out all right. I shall buy some more from you 

 shortly. Truly yours, EDW. LORENZd. 



Dear Sik. — I enclose 6s. 6d. in payment of thesittingof "White Leg- 

 horns " I had from you about three weeks old. I have much pleasure in 

 telling you that the eggs have' turned out beautifully. I have ten 

 healthy chicks out of the thirteen eggs — one egg the hen broke herself 

 the third day after sitting. Yours faithfully, R. GIBB. 



Sir, — Tlie results of hatching from three sittings of eggs is as follows : 

 Orpingtons, ten live chickens, one dead in shell ; Houdans, nine live 

 chickens, two dead in shell ; Langshans, ten chickens, three eggs addled. 

 Considering the long railway journey from you up to the Xortli of Scot- 

 land I consider the results Al. Yours truly, ALEXR. MURRAY. 



Sir, — I am glad to be able to tell you tha,t I have hatched nineteen 

 chickens from the twenty -four cross-bred eggs which arrived unbroken. 

 The incubator is one of my own making. 



Yours faithfully, T. WILLIAMS. 



Sik, — I have hatched ten chickens from the Orpington eggs, and they 

 are all free from leg-feathering, I am glad to say, which is an improve- 

 ment on last year. Yours, etc. FARQUHAR. 



Dear Sir, — I now write to inform you of result of the sitting of twelve 

 Plymouth Rock eggs which you supplied me with in March last. 

 Every egg was fertile, and I Ixave eleven strong chickens and one 

 crushed in hatching. I need not tell you I am very well pleased. It is 

 the best hatch I have ever had since I started poultry keeping in 1880. 

 My accommodation limits me to one brood per annum, so you see the 

 more in that brood the better for myself. Wlien I require more sittings 

 I shall a-s usual apply to you. Yours truly, A. G. SJIITH. 



Sir, — I am very pleased to tell you that I have eleven strong chicks 

 out of the Orpington eggs to-day, that is, only sitting twenty days, it 

 shows me the freshness of the eggs. I had a sitting of Leghorns from a 

 friend that was 48 hours hatching off — the consequence was I lost ohree 

 of them. Yours respectfully, B. HAYWARD.
