To DISTINGUISH FowLs-S, Oakland, Cal. The
following is laid down as the means OF dis
tinguishing the sex of fowls: The drake
W heezes, the duck quacks. The Guinea heu
and the cock both have q peculiar lisa
greeable chatter, but the hen says "bucS-
wheat" or ''go back" which the cock never
does. Tae peacock can be distinguished even
when only few months Old by the foxy red
pinion feathers on his wings. In the case OF
turkeys the breastbone of the cock is tunnel
out at the front point, while that of the heu
is straight. As TO geese, the gable of the
common, the EN- bden and the Toulouse gan
ders is faster, finer and higher than that OF
the goose, which is q slow, low bass; and the
screech OF the gander Is fine, loud and Gear,
while that OF the goose IS rough bass. Both
gender and goose of the English gray geese
have coarse screen and gable, but the
screech OF Tie goose is lazy and seems to BE-
partly broken, making two sounds, while the
gander gives one clear, loud screech without
any break in it.
