Poultry Notes.

Sblkcting Good Poultry

That the majority of hens are capable et producing many more eggs than they csaally do is undoubted. 'I he state ments sometimes made that the hens in ctttain yards will lay from two hundred to |two hundred and fifty eggs each during the year must be accepted with caution. But if particulars were recorded by those people who keep a arg* number of fowls, so as to show the , ave^gt number of eggs per hen, they would, in most instances, convince the owners that they do not obtain any tl.ing like the number they should, provided there were closer supervision and selection of the stock.

It it stated by many large poultry breedsr« tihat the laying qualities of hens can be known by their appearance. Th« head of good layers are finery and act bo thick, or course and heivy look ing, bs the inferior layers The eyes are brighter and bolder, and the combs, as a rule, are larger. It is also claimed that cpcks that have been bred from a good laying strain can be dis tinguished. They are inor« precocious when cockerels, they begin to crow

ssuch »ooner, and they do not grow rery laige There are very few poultry keepers, however, let their experience of fowls be ever so considerable, who could select their birds from such characteristics. A more satiafactoay mat bod is to tike notfi of those hens than are busy ranging about the fields or ruus lato in the evening, when most of the others have gone to roost, or one of those that are tbc first oat in the morning. These are almost invariably free layers. There is do doabt that the faculty of laying is to a large extent hereditary, end that pullets hatched from eggs laid by prolific layers will themselves b» good laysrs. The eggi again of thesi pallets, particularly if they are mated with male birds bred from free layers, will pioiace chickens that should again inherit thla tendency. Ths average number of egga laid by the flock after two or three years of this selection wdl be largely increased. Egga are advertised for sale from heos that have bean bred and selected in this manner, and it is certain that the egg production fro a each hen has been increased to the extent of twenty to fifty annually. Those poultry keepers, therefore, who wish to become pos sessed of hens that are really firat rate layers, should take the trouble to notice those hens that pay moat frequent visits to the ne*t A child can see to this, and when these hens have laid their eggs should be acarked, and only those eggs retained for sitting purposes.

Another method by which the egg supply can be increased is to weed out annually all the old hens, a hen being considered old after she has laid for two seasons. Where there area large number of fowls it is easy to recognise the age of the hens by marking all the young pullets by placing a ring on their legs. If theg» rings are varied every year—either in thickness, or in any other way that is most simple—the ages can £be told at once on catching the bird when roasting And if all hens not required for sitting are removed from the nest directly they [show signs of broodiness, and placed in a light coop with some food and water, they will quickly commence laying again, instead of wasting many days as they so often do. \

The New El Dorado.

Is Klondyke to be eclipsed by a nswly-discovered rival in British ter ritory % The eager curiosity of most peopio will be excited by the announce ment that gold may be obtained by the simple process of washing in a certain district of Burn^ah. This information com is from a gentleman, who, after fourteen years' sojourn in that country as a Government official, has ja*t returned to England. With a view of ascertaining more particu lars of the supposed new Klondyke in British territory, our representative had an interview with this gentleman. He had arrived in England a fortnight ago, and from bis appearance it was evident that the breakdown of his j health had been the cause of his coming horns. For several reasons he desired that bis name should not be published at preient. • Whbre is this new El Dorado ?' our representative inquired, 'It is in Burmah,' he replied. ' The exact spot, of course, you will not wish me to disclose. It is in an outlying part of the country, where the oniy white man ever seen it the British Government official, whose visits are few and tar between. My station was a few wiles distant from it, but on account of the thick jungle nobody seems ever to have thought of pene trating beyond what , were practically regarded as the useful limits of the district. Big game abound—elephants, leopards, 'and deer of various sort?, as well its bares, jungle fowl, pea fowl, 4c' 1 How came you yourself to hit upon the spot?'

s Quite accidentally. One evening my daughter and myself went for a ride. I was beat on exploring the ground beyond the thick jungle. We had ridden a number of miles when I noticed the singular appearance of a stream. I examined closer, and dis covered what seemed to me a rich alluvial deposit. It was too late in the evening then to tnoke a satisfactory examination, so* next day I returned to the, piece,, bringing with me some rude implements fur washing gold. From three or ',four bnc kets of the deposit taken merely fiorn the surface I got half an egg spoonful o! pare virgin gold. I have since been told by an expert that if I had gone any distance beiow the sur face I should have found gold in abun dance. I have heard of people going mad when they have ' struck lie/ and I don'fi wonder. The banks of that stream were really beautiful with the auriferous glittering, and that night 1 actually dreamt about it."

.'Jtto.w is it that you didn't work the •find * yourself for all it was worth T 11 am aorry I couldn't. A few d>ys later my health completely broke down, and to remain in the country any longer would have meant death to me. I have been living in tropical climates for the last twenty-five years, No every Britisher could live in the tropics for a quarter of a century.' • What i* your idea aa to what ihcnild bi done, (bin f

' Well, I think it is a pity that gold found in British territory should not be workei. I have made sketches and plans of the ground, and could tell any intending prospectors bow to go about.', ' Do you intend to go back again to work the ground V 11 don't want to go back, but after a period of recuperation here, I could, if it was absolutely necessary, go bstk to start the eperaticms between November and February, but I dare not stop there for another rainy season.' ' How do you know you are the only man who knows about this ground V .' T made inquiries before I left, and found that a few of the chuf natives, a mere handful, knew of if, and had actually worked on it. They had washed the gold and sold it to their own kith and kin, and matfe enough money in three months out of selling it in thiht way to keep them for the remaining nine mototbs of the year. Nobody else has been there I fee" certain.'

' What is the extent of the ground V 1 A rough measurement I made told me that it is about three miles square. It mi^ht be larger, bub I am aare it is no less. No wonder the ground has not been discovered before. It is such an outlandish place.' ' Is it quite accessible V * Perfectly. People take the trouble :to go to Klondyke, with all the difficulties of getting there, and the privations when they land there, and yet here we have in Burmah a rich gold deposit which can easily be reached. You can go from Liverpool to within thirty miles of the place by water, and along that thirty miles there is a good road to within five or six miles of the spot—only a bit of a jungle to contend with at the end of journey.'— Liverpool Post

SAUDIS *c Sc s*ons Euor. lypti JESactract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, ac per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded 'diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Qnivsrsifeies all over the Globe. Thtsre are 'Imitations of Eucalypti Extract .n the market, products of simple distillation forming orude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken,. OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Govern men to be of perfectly pure origin, as pa information forwarded to us through bh Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, w bate;™



It is proved by teats by the Medical Clien of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald 1 Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sehulz s Professor of Parmacology, abßon, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director ef Che Medical Clinics at Greifswaid, that only products that are , saturated with oxygen aid freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plan, All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpecoinei, which ire abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour—. which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops mosb freely through its surplus oxygen, 2 By their alooholio tbin and mobile appear ance being reduced in epsoifio density through tne presence of acids. 6 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and termatos. if these crude oils, ao-c tied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista ;e in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal infkmationa, dysentery, etc., the cun eequouces art) most appalling.
