Small was our faith in Pckins. Wc had .ecn hem, tn beure, at two great shows, in Buffalo, Wit were not favorably impressed, for though kaving largo frames, they did not compare with Bouens au.l Aylesburys in weight: it was pos ible they had not been properly crowded when young, (nor fattened for the show. However, an impartial judgment could not lie given with out a thorough trial; and finding wc could not purchase a pair for less than HO, in February and March we "went" for eggs, purchasing of a reliable jiartv, who had been successful in winning at two or three shows, and who got his stock direct from. "Cliff and "Palmer" head, quarters. We paid him JfiO for 60 eggs. It was something of a risk, but "nothing venture lotting have;" and giving directions how to ftck them, fresh, and after our method, the eggs came "safeand sound,"and were Lmmodl. tely "put to business" under trusty liens.
