FACTITIOUS POULTRY FARMS. 
We copy below nu nriicle under the above 
caption which is undoubtedly from the pen 
of Mr. Tegetmkibh, ami appears in the 
London Field of October 14. If Mr. T.’s 
averments are not correct, our columns are 
open to Mr. Pearce, author of the article 
criticised, fora reply. We believed Mr. P.’s 
statements were made up of faets from his 
own knowledge, and gave them, as such, to 
our readers. If he has anything to offer in 
reply to Mr. Tegetmisibr’s criticisms, we 
should be glud to print it: 
We had hoped to have done with the 
ridiculous sensational stories of impossible 
poultry farms that never existed, except, in 
the fertile imagination of some wretched 
scribblers, hard tip for a subject out of which 
to earn a few shillings. We have had the 
satisfaction of exposing the non-existence of 
the De Sora establishment for feeding 
poultry on horseflesh, and also Unit of Mine. 
DR LlNAS at Oharny, so elaborately described 
in “Wright’s Practical Poultry Book;” 
and no sooner are these “ unreal mockeries ” 
disposed of than up Springs another — this 
time from the other side of the Atlantic. 
The detection of the falsity of these ac¬ 
counts is always perfectly easy to any one 
really practically acquainted with poultry 
keeping; thus, regarding De Soua’s fowls, 
statistics were given which, if worked out in 
detail, proceeded ou the supposition that 
each fowl laid two eggs per day lor the 
greater part of the year ; and t he engravings 
and plans of Lliarny necessitated six or 
eight fowls roosting on every foot length of 
perch. Nor will the account, of the South 
American poultry farm, which appears in 
the “People’s Practical Poultry Book," re¬ 
cently published by Moore of New York, 
and which Ims been reprinted in this coun¬ 
try, stand the test of the simple cross-exami¬ 
nation. 'Hie author of this account tells us 
that he proposes— 
To describe a poultry farm, where fowls 
are kept by the thousand, whose proprietor 
counts liis gains therefrom proportionately. 
It is situated in the southern extremity of 
Chili, South America, where the rainy sea¬ 
son, of s'u months’ duration, is as detrimental 
to the well-being of all fowl kind as the rig¬ 
ors ol our own winters. 
It may he noticed tlmt the locality of the 
place is not slated, nor its distance Irom the 
only populous town in South Chili, namely, 
Valdivia, Which numbers only some 10,000 
souls, men, women and children. 
We are next told that Honor Don San 
Fdentes commenced Ids operations with a 
slock of two hundred hens and eight cocks, 
which have increased until he lms now near¬ 
ly 6,000. These range over his farm, which 
amounts to 7,500 acres. The writer next 
slates that.— 
To every 50 liens and 2 cocks is given a 
house of their own, of which there aru 000 
or 700 on the place. These are placed 200 
I cel apart, each way, lints isolating one lot 
from the other. 
Gentlemen who write about poultry farms 
on a large, scale have Usually the most pro¬ 
found indifference to arithmetical accuracy, 
or it might have occurred to the writer that 
if there were 0,000 fowls on the farm, and 
that every 52 had a house of their own, 116 
houses would have more than sufficed for 
their accommodation ; but perhaps wo shall 
be told that the remaining 500 houses are 
built in readiness for the fowls Don Fdentes 
is going to raise. 
The houses are described as being 15 feet 
long, built of poles covered with thatch; 
they are like a ridge roof, 20 feet wide at the 
base, and rise from the ground to a bight of 
eight feet in the center. 
We ate also told that there is a hospital or 
sick loom in which 
Is arranged a series of boxes, each one 
large enough for the comfort and conve¬ 
nience of its solitary occupant, who is there 
placed, and treated for its malady with as 
much care as if its value was dollars instead 
of cents,and with such skill tlmt I lie ratio of 
deaths has been 1 in 280. 
The sitting-room holds 800 boxes, and we 
are informed the fowls are not allowed to 
leave it whilst silting. The dietary is most 
delightfully varied; oats unlimited, and of 
course the inevitable " dead horse,” which 
is the great piece de reliance of every fudger 
of fabulous accounts of poultry farms. 
During the rainy season they are not al¬ 
lowed to leave the coop, except the day be 
exceedingly pleasant, and then only for a 
short time. They appear t<> bear their con- 
flnement remarkably well, and with hardly 
any decrease in the quantity of eggs. While 
confined they are allowed an extra allow¬ 
ance of animal food. 
To any one practically acquainted with 
poultry the idea of keeping 52 fowls in a 
coop or house 15 feet by 20 during the whole 
rainy season of six months duration is siiffi- 
cienlly ridieulotts; rather more than 
fowls to every square yard ! 
It is useless to expose all the absurdities 
of this account, but we may allude to the I 
concluding paragraphs, in which we are told 
that 
“ Killing time" takes place twice during 
the year—in the spring, and again at the 
commencement of the rainy season. All the 
early chickens are thus disposed of at agood 
price; and the two-year-old fowls decapitated 
to give room for the younger broods, as they 
nre supposed to be past profitable service 
after the second year. 
The profits from one year’s business 
amounted to $11,000. The sales were 72,000 
dozens of eggs, and nearly 20,000 chickens 
anil two-year-olds. Mr. !8an Puentes ex¬ 
presses himself as being perfectly satisfied 
with the result obtained, and intends to 
double his stock every year, until every 200 
feet of his extensive farm lias its house of 
fifty teuauts. 
As killing time is only twice in the year, 
Mr. San Puentes must send 10,000 fowls to 
market at one time, and there is no large 
market for his produce nearer than Valpa¬ 
raiso, which is 500 miles from the south of 
Chili. 
It may he asked why we occupy our space 
with llie refutation of such ridiculous ca¬ 
nard a ; our answer is partly because the ac¬ 
count lias already been quoted in English 
papers, and secondly, because we are con¬ 
stantly receiving letters from persons who 
are desirous of embarking in poultry farm¬ 
ing, being intluenced by such accounts, and 
ignorant that every attempt to rear a large 
number of fowls in a confined space has 
ended in disastrous pecuniary failure. 
POULTRY NOTES AND QUERIES. 
I’l-cserving Egg*. 
There seems to be a great diversity of 
opinion about packing eggs for preservation. 
As vve have given the mode of several read¬ 
ers who think their manner is the best, wo 
clip the following from the New Yolk Ob¬ 
server of a recent date, giving its experience: 
“ 'flic most convenient and satisfactory wav 
to keep eggs fresh that we have ever tried, is 
to punch numerous holes in A tin pail, fill it 
with fresh eggs, lower the pail with the eggs 
into a kettle of melted tallow, which is as hot 
us can be without burning one’s linger when 
thrust into the liquid; then lift the pail out 
quickly, and the melted tallow will (low out, 
leaving a thin coating over every egg. Let 
the eggs be removed as soon as possible from 
the pail, and lie. placed on the ends in a keg 
or barrel, which should be kept in a cool 
cellar until wauled for use. We have kept 
eggs in this manner more than six months, 
so fresh that expert judges supposed they 
were fresh. As the eggs are so much colder 
than the melted tallow, a thin pellicle of cold 
tallow will be formed almost insuintly, which 
will render the shell impervious to air.” 
Fecundity of Duck’* and lien*. 
Some interesting experiments have been 
made upon the comparative fecundity of 
ducks and liens, so as to deter mine from 
which of the two the larger number of eggs 
can lie. obtained in the same time. For Ibis 
purpose three liens and three ducks were 
seleclud, all hatched in February, and nour¬ 
ished with suitable food. Xu the following 
autumn the ducks had laid two hundred and 
twenty-five egg3, while the hens in this ease 
laid none. In the following February the 
laying season began again with the ducks 
and continued uninterruptedly till August, 
They showed no inclination to set and be¬ 
came very thin, but subsequently fattening 
up somewhat. Iu the meantime the hens 
had not been idle. The total number of 
eggs laid by I lie liens amounted to two hun¬ 
dred and fitly-seven or eighty-six eggs each ; 
and the ducks produced three hundred and 
ninety-two, or one hundred and thirty-one 
each. Although the eggs of the ducks were 
rather smaller than those of the liens, yet 
they proved to he decidedly biiporio in 
nutritive material, so the superiority in pro¬ 
ductiveness appears to be altogether on the 
side of the ducks. 
Gmm; lien* mid Duck*. 
A writer in the Canadian Poultry Chron¬ 
icle gives the following as his experience 
with the laying qualities of game hens and 
ducks:—“ There are few fowls more prolific 
than game, and where there is a good wide 
range of any kind, no fowls will prove more 
profitable, the black-breasted red variety 
being the best. They eat little in propor¬ 
tion to larger fowls, and are very good lay¬ 
ers; but they cannot be kept in close con¬ 
finement on account of their fighting pro¬ 
pensities. No fancier that can find a suitable 
place in his poultry yard but should have a 
few ducks. Their appetite is such that al¬ 
most any kind of food will supply them; 
they pick up the waste food left, by other 
fowls and grow fat on it. In the barn yard, 
in gardens, and in pasture land they are 
alike useful and beneficial. There are three 
kinds which now stand high among breed¬ 
ers, namely:—The Aylesbury, which is pure 
white; the Rouen, which in color resem¬ 
bles the wild Mallard; and the Cayuga, 
which are pure black, except occasional 
white spots ou the breast." 
L. P., Bucks Co., Pa.—The information 
desired is fully set forth in “ The People’s 
Practical Poultry Book” you just ordered.

GATHERING FRUIT TO SAVE IT. 
Wk left orders to have a lot of apples 
(Spit/.enbergs) picked carefully and handled 
but once—when taken from die tree—no af¬ 
ter sorting, no removing from the barrel till 
they were to be used. The barrels were 
carted home and put into the barn for sever¬ 
al weeks, permitting them there to sweat, 
which they did abundantly, and then were 
removed into the cellar. At no time, either 
while in the barn or in the cellar, were they 
headed up tight, hut the head only laid on, 
giving some Clnineo for circulation of air. 
Pick when ripe, pick carefully, that is, so as 
not to bruise the apples, and to disturb the 
oil coat, as little as possible, as this no doubt 
is meant for protection. Remove from the 
basket into the barrel; put very carefully 
into the barrel, and shake a little when full. 
Of course you reject, all imperfect or affected 
fruit. Let there lie only sound and nice for 
keeping, for why should you keep poor fruit 
with the danger of spoiling the rest? Sorl 
them as you gather, by all means. 
Another thing; have agood hand or hands 
to do this thing, as much alighting of the 
work is done unless your man is reliable. 
Mow such fruit commands a good price in 
market; it always does, because it is always 
safe and Sound and nice. If the market at 
gathering is dull, it will soon improve, after 
the effect of the carelessness of picking has 
subsided. Then, when other fruit is rotting, 
and yours is sound, is your time. What will 
not. fine, rosy Hpit/.enbergs bring, all sound 
and fragrant, in Bpring? They may be kept 
till April, or even May. We have lmd them 
unite, sound and fair, with other apples of 
the following season. 
It is in picking, in putting up; there is 
where the point is; but not all. If tlie limit 
is to be kept till late, there must be a proper 
temperature, and the moisture must be seen 
to, two points that we find indispensable in 
keeping lruit. Keep ns near to the trust 
point as you can, and lids viiifortnli /, if 
possible; this changing of the temperature is 
bad. If the moisture is considerable, keep 
your fruit on shelves or in open Darrels; if 
the air is rather dry, keep in barrels or deep 
bins and cover, but not tight, else your IVult 
may mold, which, however, it, will not be 
apt to do if it lias been well sweated before 
it reached the collar or fruit room. Coolness, 
uniformity of temperature, moderation of 
moisturu so that tlJeff? i.-- neither shrinking 
nor rotting,—this is what, is w anted, provid¬ 
ing your fruit comes in in the proper condi¬ 
tion, selected and sound and dry. We write 
from experience only. We never have any 
difficulty.— v. a.

P0M0L0GI0AL GOSSIP. 
Apple lor a Name. 
I herewith Bend yon a specimen of an 
apple that was grafted into my orchard over 
forty years ago. I think it was introduced 
into our town from Connecticut. It produces 
a broad, spreading tree, bears well, is a lirsl. 
rate cooking apple; its dried fruit is unsur¬ 
passed. It is universally esteemed by all 
who cat of it. It brings the very highest 
price of any apple that is brought into 
Syracuse market. I have never met a per¬ 
son who could give me its true name. It 
appears to be unknown to our nurserymen. 
Why lias sucli a valuable apple been neglect¬ 
ed or stricken Irom the catalogue of our 
modem nurserymen? Or do I overrate its 
qualities? Please give me its true inline if 
you can, its history, and what you think of 
il.—R. W. Lincoi.n , Lincoln lUirrn, Otiotla- 
ga,N. Y. 
The apple is certainly a very good one 
and looks and tastes like the Fall Pippin ; if 
it is not this variety we do not know it. The 
Full Pippin is quite variable in appearance 
as grown in different localities. Those from 
Southern New York and New Jersey are 
usually covered with huge blotches and ripen 
early; but from farther north the skin is 
smooth and they will keep until January if 
placed in a cool cellar. 
Fruit Preserving Froce**. 
Will you please answer, in your valua¬ 
ble paper, whether 1 lie fruit preserving pro¬ 
cess of subjecting it to the gns of brimstone, 
and afterward immersing it in water, is suc¬ 
cessful in keeping fruits almost in their 
natural state for an unlimited time?—P. W. 
Gunckel. 
We have never seen any fruit treated by 
this process, and can express no opinion as 
to its merits. 
About a “Hybrid Huckleberry” 
which some one is trying to advertise in the 
South, mid with which a “ Prof. Rolls" 
connects the name of Maj. Fiucas of the 
Germantown Telegraph, the Major says so 
far as the statement refers to him and Ids 
palter it “is a lie cut out of whole cloth.” 
Let our Huitlhern readers look out for the 
humbug. 
Oranges in California- 
It is claimed that, twenty-five out of the 
fifty counties of California are admirably 
adapted to the production of oranges. The 
experiment of their culture is to be thorough¬ 
ly tested there.
