OUR LETTER BOX. 
Names of Fowls (C. II .).—From your description we conclude they 
are Serai Taooks or Sultan’s Fowls, if so they come from Turkey. 
Swelling round the Eyes of Fowls (Constant Reader ).—The 
swelling round the eye arises from a cold. The treatment is, to keep the 
fowls affected in a dry, warm situation, and feed them liberally on food 
sliglitly more stimulating than usual. Should the diseaee be unchecked 
it may run on to purulent roup, which must be regarded as contagious. 
Deformed Egg (C. G .).—The substance forwarded was simply an 
egg destitute of shell, the thickened membrane, which somewhat re¬ 
sembled in form an embryo chicken, was the result of irritation. There 
can be no doubt that such was its true structure, as it was examined 
microscopically. Should the hen continue to lay these eggs, the treat¬ 
ment would be to give her one grain of calomel, and one twelfth of a 
grain of tartar emetic, with low and spare diet for a few days.—W. B. 
Tegetmeier.
