POULTRY. 
Tlie supply’ of roultry is still below tlie average, but 
tbere exists scarcely an,y cleinantl. Grouse are scarce, and 
the old birds far more numerous than tbe youug. There 
was a moderate supply of Geese; tbe juice of corn was 
evident in tbeir want of condition, and well fed birds of the 
liest quality made good jn-ices. It maybe taken as a rule, 
where all are equally good, that the value of a Goose is 
guided by its weight.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Pear and Plum for Nortiiu.mberland (A Recent Subscrilter ).— 
In addition to those you have, the beat for a south wall W'ill be the 
Heine Claude Violette Plum, and the GUmt Morceau Pear. 
Comb op a Cock (A Constant Reader). — How can w'e answ'er your 
query without being first told tbe variety of poultry to which the rock 
belongs ? 
Manuring Turf (J, G.).—We think, that instead of raising the turf 
and manuring beneath it, it would he more effectual if you applied 
liquid-manure three or four times a year to the surface, and, certainly, it 
would be much less expensive. We know several instances where the 
mere repeated application of the house sewage enables the owner to mow 
bis grass three or four times annually. 
Poultry Snow Report (Oi-r/.r).—We cannot publish the criticisms 
of anonymous correspondents. Such criticisms are valuable only in 
proportion to tbe knowledge possessed by the critic. 
Storing Filbf.rts (.4 Subscriber). —There is no better way of 
keeping them than putting them with their husks on into earthenware 
jai-.s, leaving the mouths of tbe jars open, and placing them in a cold, 
damp cellar. The Filberts will continue excellent until beyond the next 
Filbert season. 
Name of Plum (H. R.). —It appears to be Coe's Late Red. 
Saxifraga hvpnoides. — A. W. would gladly be informed where 
this can be obtained. 
Keighley Poultry Show.— We are informed that Mr. T. H. 
Bayley’s (lame Fowls were commended at this Show. 
Brewing, &c., OF. (7. IF.).—Our correspondent wishes to know the 
best mode of brewing malt beer, and of curing hams and bacon. 
Double Pansy (O. D .).—It is certainly a floral curiosity. It is 
doubtful whether it will be permanent. 
Name of Flower (Amin/s). —Your trailing ])lant is Loasa lateritia. 
It is, by some authors, called L, aurantiaca, and by others, Caiphoru 
lateritia.
