THE ROMB FOR POULTRY.

it is intended to 'maintain between the animal and
vegetable kingdoms. The laud upon which the
six long hot:sawmill be opeuod Will in waive opera-
tion in a few months will supply the green meat
for the poultry, besides tending a large surplus to
Covent-garden Market. The manure from the
poultry will go to enrich the grouud. The hide,
skin, and hoofs of the boiled horse, which has fed
pigs and chickens, is to sell for the 21. its carcase
cost ; while the twenty-two yards belonging to the
six houses will bold from 30,000 to 40,01/0 bead of
poultry. Each yard will have two divisions, one of
which will be appropriated to chickens and the other
to young oocks; though from the very spirited main
we saw improvised by two fine young Braniah
Poutras, who were in the same pen, it seems pro-
bable that the latter class may give vent to occa-
sional bursts of pugnacity. In the centre of each
yard is also a tank for ducks.
Some idea of the scale upon which it is expected
to carry on the operations of the company will be
gathered from the fact, that 4,000 eggs will shortly
be in process of incubation at one time from the
present stook of 800 cocks and hens. The average
weight of the cockerels and chickens after they have
been fattened is put at Qs., and though the
present selling price is to be sa. each, it is san-
guinely hoped that by the rapid multiplication of
the Homes, and the consequent enormous increase
in the number of fowls bred, they will shortly
be sold by the pound like butcher's meat, and at a
rate not higher than 4.1. a lb. That the Bromley
Company will enjoy exceptional facilities for pro-
ducing poultry, and that their efforts must in time
affect prices, seems obvious. A large proportion of
their birds are fancy ones. When the obickeos of
these prficoise fair development or unusual beauty
they will be kept for poultry breeders, and will
readily command from five to twenty guineas each.
The commonplace offspring of the same parents will
be fattened and killed, so that the race will be
purified and improved year by year, while the value
of chickens of the same bread literally varies from
five shillings to many guineas.
Yet another branch of this curious experiment
in raising food for the multitude is the rabbit-house.
This is on a smaller scale than the rent, but is full
of the French cross between rabbits and hares,
which from the vast size of their loins and limbs
are said to furnish forth more meet fur the table
than either of the race of parents from whom they
spring. In a few months from the present time,
when a floating stock of 100,000 saleable chickens
are constantly on hand, and when the six large
houses and twenty-two yards are in full working
order, we shall be able to pronounce more decidedly
upon the practical bearings of the scheme. Mean-
while it is as impossible to avoid admiring the or-
ganization sand system displayed in the manage-
ment of the Home now open, as it is to withhold
sympathy from a project which in these dare of
high prioes and scarcity aims at placing within the
reach of the very poor an article of food at present
to be seen only on the tables of the well-to-do.

TIM POLICE' COURTS•

The ight burdeed socks and bens bonged in the
Blwalry dome enjoy the comforts of a model prison
widens* the disadvantage of compidsery silence or
solitary ooetinement Their cells are light, airy,
and ounifortable, their dietary liberal and varied.
The tewpqatitre of the abode is regulated on ap-
proved scientific principles, and gentlemen who
bave made the character and temperament of fowls
their especial study look after their comforts and
minister to their wants. The section of the Home
now in active work coexists of an airy, gloss-covered
house, 300 feet long, 12 feet high, and 18 feet wide.
This is divided into pens 12feet by 3feet, and these
pens are subdivided again into roosting and laying
compartments, and glass-oovered runs, where rem-
edies may be taken in wet weather. The general
idled of this Home—which will be multiplied by six
in a few months--is very striking. Its central floor
is of red tiling, with shafts to admit cold air in sum-
mer, and hot in winter, a regular register of tem-
perature beiug kept. At each side of this
and running along the pens are symmetrical little
beds of mustard and cress for the young chickens,
whose compartments are on • mooed tier, and at
short intervals a vine plant of choice quality springs
gracefully up, to eventually join tendrils with its
oppoeite neighbour, on the glass roof above. The
covered mesa boxes, looking like seats wherefrom
the rare plumage and vast proportions of the birds
may be critically viewed, also contain nests for egg-
laying, and are so arranged that the most sensitive
hen can pass to and from them without annoyance.
The nests aro wooden bowls, filled with clean hay,
sad plentifully sprinkled with fine mud. In order
that the poultry may be kept warm in cold nights,
the roosting perches are composed of bot-water
pipes—a circumstance which is said to conduce to
the continuous laying of egp. The perfect venti-
lation and scrupulous cleauliness of the Horne are
very marked, and the happy well-fed look of the
fowls, and the way in which their necessary wants are
forestalled, coujuieed with the meet similarity of
their several cells, gives the model prison simile
strength and force, as the visitorprogremes down the
long house.
The principle upon which these fortunate crea-
tures are le.' is CO have certain essential dishes pre-
pared and given them every day, while the other
viands are varied throughout the week. Thus,
as animal food is necessary, contracts have been
entered into for horses. Upon the veterinary sur-
geon of the company giving his certificate that the
horse submitted to him is fit for consumption the
contract price of 21. is paid, and the animal
boiled down. The carouse Is then finely minced,
and • modicum given each day to the fowls. Pigs
are to be also kept, and in order that nothing may
be wasted, the liquor in which the minced horse has
been boiled will be given to the porkers as soup.
The dietary will run then somewhat after this I
fashion : Cabbages, green food, and horseflesh
twice every day. Sunday, orose-grained barley ;
Monday, Indian ooru • Tuesday, oats ; Wednesday,
boiled potatoes ; Thursday, boiled rice ; Friday,
=angel wurzel • and Saturday, mixed grain. Add
to this that a handful of sharp grit is sprinkled in
all the food to promote digestion ; that sulphate of,
iron is put into the drinking water once, and char-
coal administered twice a week, and it will be seen
that our high estimate of the comforts enjoyed by
theme cocks and hens is not overcharged. The floor
of each inner pen is covered with sifted soil some
inches deep, while the outer one has a plentiful
supply of stable dung, each material being carefully
turned with the spade twice in each week.
Mr. G. Kennedy Geyling, C.E., the secretary and
manager of the company, states in his exhaustive
treatise on poultry-breeding that six hens should be
assigned to each cock, but in practice, more espe-
cially with the commoner varieties, the allowance is
more liberal and polygamous. Each cock is sur-
rounded by his little circle of wives, and to walk
slowly up the hundred yards of passage, and to
note the different expressions and characteristics
of the occupants of the pens, makes an amusing study
enough. There are, of course, some magnificent spe-
cimens of the different breeds shows, and
this company consider they can claim the prize for
no fewer than five varieties of fowl. Among the
moat distinguished are the Soudan, seventy of
which, valued at 20 guineas each, are to be seen in
the Home. The Creve Cesar, with their splendid
crests ; the Trentham Blacks, with coronetted
heads ; the slate speckled Bramabpootras, with
feathery gaiters and graceful nooks; the spotted
black and white Hamburg', the plump and well-
proportioned Dorking*, and Barn-doors, are; all ad-
mirably suggestive of what the Home will be able
to produce. The variety known se La Fleche stands
24 niches high, and will weigh from 10Ibs. to 121 be.
each when fattened ; while the batch of Ortive Cosur
cockerels, which arrived from France on the day of
our visit, average Obis. each, and will, it is confi-
dently stated, after • fortnight's experience of the
comforts of the Home, reach 61bs. each.
At the end of the long living-room is the fattening
department, a dark chamber with small boxes three
feet loog, in each of which fowls are to be placed
and fed. At each side of this is a hatching cham-
ber similarly fitted up, where many hens are
always sitting. Beyond this again is the yard,
which is being rapidly converted to the purposes of
the company. When the entire place is in working
order, artificial hatching-rooms, with concrete floor,
moveable glazed sides, and slate or felted roof,
will be seen in active operation. The interior of
these rooms will be fitted with moveable shelves
divided into compartments of galvanised iron wire,
each compartment having a framework of what is
technically termed "artificial mother." A section
of soft and fleecy carriage-rug pendant from • strip
of wood, and giving warmth and shelter to the
fledglings, makes the mother ; many specimens of
which are to be now seen about the Home. The
chickens will be placed in these compartments from
their birth until they are a week or ten days old,
when they will be moved to the rearing Home. As
soon as the bead is covered with feathers they are
pronounced hardy and fit for the ordinary vicissi-
tudes of adult fowl-life. Mr. Geyliug's views on
artificial poultry hens are shown in the following
extract from his book :
The f dodoes of a hoe towards bar dickies mataid d
forming a covering to p t the natural beat of their us-
fledged bodies from coding ; also to break late small pieces
any food that is too large for there • and lastly, to prated
them against dieser. Now my artificial bees not duly do
all this, but they perform the doff» &groat deal better, sad
with lees ore ealtiee to the chided. Yet writers es
poultry do not believe io artificial hatching or rearing, yet
aught they as well doubt growing tropical fruits and plants
la Eddied. Chickens do neither require artificial heat *or
that of their mother ; all that is atmeseary is to provide theta
with a suitable coveries of their bodies until they are fell

The rearing homes will consist of sunk passages
lined with brick walls, and with a concrete floor.
Bested with hot-water pipes, and roofed in with
felt, this home has a glass-covered run, the con-
crete floor of which will be covered with gritty
dust. The advantages of the entire system of
breeding adopted in the Bromley Home are
officially summarized thus :

Mr. John Evans, coekeepse and dairyman, of 3, Gate-

at the instance of Mr. Hoary Priestman, ma of the in-
meatier, appointed by the Privy Council, charging him with
bevies, oo Saturday, 7th testae& without license from the
inspector, removed a tow from a abed in Olearies-strecit,

Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution ;tad
Mr. Abrams, from the dike of Re Geatley, defended.
Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, having read the charge
from the weans/,
Mr. Abrams said that, from the facts as they bad been
Mated to him by hie dims& he bad advised the latter to
plead guilty to the charge. Ho would mention that Mr.
Evans had no reason to believe that this particular cow was
sawing from the disease.
sir Theail Beery said the summons did not allege that
the cow was dimwit, but only that it was te theism. shed
with others that we so.
Mr. Abrams said the order wider which the BUTOZOODS had
been granted was only issued oe the Plod September, and
the defendant was not aware of It. Of course it must be
admitted that be ought to have known • matter affecting
his particular business, and extensively published in the

they are all perfectly right." From Informatioe received,
however, Mr. Priestman inspected the cows the next day,
and fo®d in the shed placket which six were dlemeed-oeme
in the worst stage. They must have been ill for some time,
and certainly could not have been "all right" the day he-

there were aow oaly nine. It had been ascertained that

Monday, but it bad not been sent for till that day.
Mr. Abrams suggested that the eows might have been

Mr. Moslems doomed that from the condition of the

LAMBETH.
Henry Beard and ifieked ,4r/Ater were placed at the bar
before Mr. Elliott, charged with stealing a quantity of
bones, of the value of 14e, the property of Mr. Hunt, soap
and hoes boiler, in Broad-street, Lambeth.
The prisoners were seen to take a bag of bones from •
cart belonging to their muter, and carry it towards a
marine-store dealer's. Beard at that time was taken
into custody, but Arthur seeded his typo, and when
apprehended yesterday morning he rholored ha would tell
the whole truth about Um "rat." He appeared to have
changed his tided, for whim asked what be had to nay to
the charge, he replied, "Nothing at all, but that I am
sorry for what I have done ; and having been many years
in Mr. Hunt's employment, I hope be won't be hard upon
me." The other prisoner merely mid that he was guilty of
the offence.
Mr. Elliott—What is year opinion about these men? Do
you think this is their first offence, or that they have been
in the habit of carrying on this system of robbery?
Mr. Einat—l have no doubt, your worship, that they bare
robbed ma to some 000siderahle eatoot, and that is *pea-
sant from the observation made by the prisoner Arthur
when apprehended. The facilities afforded to servacta for
getting rid of the property by marine store dealers is a
strong induoement to make them dishonest.
Mr. Elliott sentenced the prisoners to four months' ha-
prissamast each with hard labour.

victed thief, was yesterday finally examined before Mr.
Elliott oa a daring sod impudent ant el felony.

IRONMABTEAS QUARTERLY MEETING.

BIRMINGHAM. THITZSDAT EVI3IIIIO.
The great Westing of the ironmantere and others
isterespd is the trade was bald in the Town-hall
There was every aumerous attendance, including the repro-
mutative@ of Liverpool sad other shipping houses, and of
those who are emended with the trade is other districts.
The amount of bunnies transacted was not large, but it
was stated that there were MOTO buyers than sellers in the
ball, and that so far is was a iatiefactory quartee-day. The
fact is that all the prineippl makers, having a good number
of orders on their books, an not at premet anxious about
others. They are content that prices should be firm, se they
undoubtedly are ; and in that eosiditiou of the trade the
consumers are not eapr bunts much beyond the limits
of their immediate *e9
lag A very cheerful (epi-
log prevailed throughout the meeting, not witb.sthodiog the
fact of the quantity of iron sold having. been moderate ; but
there was a general concurrence of opmion that prime will
be well maintained through the quarter for all the beet
brands of finished ins. At the Broeitord and other works
there are orders coming in from America of something like
the character they were prior to the war.
The rep
fed mestere who wen prasset at this
meeting reported a very considerable doomed on account of
the States ; at one of the work/ the orders is at this
moonlit an larger than they have been for two yams. Such
of the North Staffordshire makers as had been compelled
Ito drop their pries when the trade was extremely dull haved-
now put it up se. ; this most not be regarded
vane, but as a rise wider the cirtrunstanese stated. The
judiciousness of this proceeding was a little cavilled at to-
day ; but one thing is certain, that coupled with the
sure of orders in North Staffordshire, it has helped the
trade ia this locality.
The trunsectious in pig-iron were spin limited. As has'
been stated, the quarter's make of the best pip bee
been previously sold. The production of the first quality
has rather declined in South Staffoniehire of late years • '
