A LIBERAL OFFER. 
FRIEND WADE. 
Not to be outdone by any one in the desire to disseminate 
a healthy interest in profitable poultry, I make the follow- 
ing offer: To every one ordering eggs from my yards to the 
amount of $5 only, or fowls to the amount of $10, I will 
present a year’s subscription to the Fanciers’ Journal, FREE! 
Also, to every one sending you three subscriptions to the 
Fanciers’ Journal I will send a nest of choice eggs, FREE! 
And to all sending stamps to pay postage I will furnish 
sample copies of the Journal, FREE! 
I will say in conclusion that I am greatly pleased with 
the Journal, and consider that it has placed itself in the 
front rank of the journals devoted to poultry interests, both 
as an advertising medium and as an educator of those who 
desire to improve the poultry interests of the country. Of 
one hundred and sixty letters that I received in March, over 
one hundred mentioned Fanciers’ Journal. 
Very truly yours, 
STAMFORD, CONN.

J. F. Ferris, Stamford, Conn., the wide-awake fancier, 
has purchased of Charles H. Crosby, Danbury, Conn, his 
extensive breeding stock of Buff and Partridge Cochin 
Fowls. See his advertisement elsewhere. 

To those desiring fine Games and Game Bantams, also 
Black Rose-comb Bantams, we would call attention to the 
advertisement, in this number, of William B. Atkinson. 

Brest Book ror EyERyBopy.—' The new illustrated edi- 
tion of Webster’s Dictionary, containing three thousand 
engravings, is the best book for everybody that the press has 
produced in the present century, and should be regarded as 
indispensable to the well-regulated home, reading-room, 
library, and place of business.”’

Mr. Epitor. 
V.M.F.,in No. 17 of the Fanciers’ Journal, page 261, 
describes a disease which affected two of his fowls, which I 
think is apoplexy, from a description of the disease given 
by Dr. P. Gardner in the Poultry World for March, Volume 
III, page 88, where he also gives his mode of treatment, viz.: 
Bromide of potash, in ten-grain doses, three times a day. I 
have tried the above-named remedy, and think it good.

Dear Srr: The location of our room was printed wrong 
in your issue of the 20th. It should have been located at 
217 Westminster Street, Room 6, in place of 207 Westmin- 
ster Street. By making the correction you will oblige. 
Yours truly, J. T. PECKHAM.

GRAYLING. 
Fanciers’ JOURNAL. 
I have returned from the Au Sable River, Michigan, 
with live Grayling for breeders. This is the first lot caught 
for that purpose, and the only ones at present in private 
ponds. This fish does not spawn until May (this year at 
least), notwithstanding all writers say their breeding season 
is in February and March. It is possible that mine may 
not spawn ut all, on account of change, rough usage, etc., 
when so near spawning. JI have sent some dead ones to the 
Smithsonian Institute to make plaster casts from. They 
are the most beautiful fish short of the tropics.
