OUR LETTER BOX. 
Pencilled Hamburghs. —The Rev. T. L. Fellowes, Beighton Rectory, 
Acle, Norfolk, will be much obliged by our correspondent, “II. B.,” 
communicating with him by letter, as Mr. Fellowes wishes to write to 
him relative to Pencilled Hamburghs. 
Poultry House and YIard (R. B.). —We should include the Plane 
tree; it will afford very grateful shade to the fowls in summer. Make 
the yard as large as you can afford ; the birds would live in a space 
fifty feet long, and twelve feet wide ; but to thrive they require more 
space. Can they not be allowed to ramble over the field. Have the 
roosting place separate from the nest place, and each about twelve feet 
by six feet. Merely for eggs, the cocks need not be of the same variety 
as the hens. One foot from the ground is quite high enough for the 
perches. You will find full particulars and measurements in the 
‘‘ Poultry Book for the Many,” price sixpence, published at our office. 
Challenge. —I have read the remarks of “ II. B.” on the late award 
of prizes at the Crystal Palace Poultry Exhibition; and so satisfied am I 
of the correctness of his opinions, that I Will show the stag and two 
Pullets, exhibited in Class 26, Pen 592, Duckwings, “ Highly Com¬ 
mended,” for £5, £10, or £20, against the Second, and Third Prize 
Pens ; to be judged by a competent Judge, and one who has never 
seen either of the pens before. I am well aware there is no appeal 
against the decision of the Judges, as Rule 4 of the Society’s list 
states ; but I must think, that a bird with one eye, is quite as imperfect 
as if it had but one leg, and should at once have been disqualified.— 
Fair Play. (I enclose my card.) 
Duckwing Game at Liverpool (A Subscriber). —The birds shown 
in the name of Armstrong, belong to Mr. Moss; Armstrong is in Mr, 
Moss’s service. 
Sultan Fowls.— “Will you inform me whether it is most proper 
for the fowTs of the Serai' Taook, (or fowls of the Sultan), to have 
a beard or not? Would one with a beard, and one without, stand 
any chance at an Exhibition ? The cockerel is a splendid bird, but 
without a beard ; and one of the pullets is also without a beard; but all 
beautifully feathered.”— A Sultan. —[The rules for Sultans are not laid 
down ; hut it is certainly desirable that they should have beards. If, in 
a separate class, the want of them would be a disqualification; but shown 
as a variety, we think they would take a prize, provided they were all 
alike. They would not, under any circumstances, if some were bearded, 
and some were not.] 
LONDON MARKETS.— February 8th. 
POULTRY. 
The trade remains very dull; and although a scarcity of really choice 
Poultry is perceptible, yet the rise is not so great as 
usual at this 
season of the year.
