 The copy filmed here has been reproduced thanlts 
 to the generosity of: 
 
 The Nova Scotia 
 Legislative Library 
 
 The images appearing here are the best quality 
 possible considering the condition and legibility 
 of the original copy and in keeping with the 
 filming contract specifications. 
 
 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression. 
 
 The last recorded frame on each microfiche 
 shall contain the symbol —^-(meaning "CON- 
 TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), 
 whichever applies. 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method:

 Hp^^ The announcement of special prizes hy 
 Mr. Vick, in the prize list published in the May 
 number of the Journal of Agriculture, was inserted 
 on the faith of an announcunent in his catalogue, 
 authorizing provincial societies to offer them. He 
 has since declined to ^rant them, on the ground of 
 having already offered them to two other associa- 
 tions in J^ova Scotia, 
 
 The offer is therefore withdrawn from our prize

 I have still n few sittings of Eggs left from my PRIZE \VI>fNINO IJrahmas P.nd Cochins, which 
 t will dispose of at the old price, THREE DOLLARS PER DOZEN. Parties requiring " Eggs for 
 tncubation" from my stock, would materially consult their own inteiosts by carefully reading the 
 fdllowinjc conilitioiisi before i)urclias<ing, viz :— "That I will sell EUOS FOR HATCHING from the 
 same fowls that I breed from myself, and do the best I can to have them sound, fertile, timl always 
 fresh laid. I also select them from ray best breeding stock withoiit exception, but I cannot duplicate 
 sittings of Eggs without cliarge, nor can I give any iiuurant''e whatctfcr about the surety in notch- 
 ing of Eggs sent ovei railroads or by express." I have not any Eggs for sale at Fifty Cents a dozen, 
 as it does not pay me to keep sucli trash about my premises ; all my stook id fir.st-claas from the best 
 blood in America, as the many prizes they won at the last show amply testify.

 My Birds are all first-class, from imported English and American Stock. I send from my yards 
 such fowls, or Eggs for Hatching, only as I breed myself, or set eggs from. I do not sell cheap stock 
 since it docs not pay me either to raise or offer such to my patrons. I select, mate and handle ray stock 
 personally, but cannot give any guarantee about hatching. I send Eggs carefully packed, fro»h from 
 the nests, and sell only the same kiinle. I use for my own purposes.

 for eome years past, constantly aiunng to secure the greatest degree of perfection, as to fancy points 
 and siee, not forgetting their laying qualities. I have one Buff Hen in my yard from which I am 
 bleeding, that laid fouty-eight days consecutively, which I claim is hard to beat. I now feel
