About Struthus Burds the Ostreaches is in in perfic helth and full
of Plums. The femail Hen lade too egs wile the Committy was sittin
and we hop they will atch, as we put them under a she Hemew as
was sittin to Mr. Harvy. We propos breading Busturds xept we hav
not got a singel specieman of the specious Galnatious Burds. I am
sory to say The Curryso has not bread. Hits the moor disapinting
as we considder these Birds as our Crax. We sucksided in razing a
grate menny Turkys and some intresting expearimints was maid on
them by the Committy and the Counsel on Crismus day. Lickwise on
Poltry Fouls with regard to there being of Utility for the Tabel
and “under the latter head” the report informs “sum results hav
bean obtained witch air considdered very satisfactry,” but their
will be more degested trials of the subjex as the Report says “the
expeariments must be repetid in order to istablish the accuracy
of the deduckshuns.” Wat is remarkable the hens pressented by Mr.
Crockford hav not provd grate layers tho provided with a Better
Yard and plenty of Turf. We hav indevourd to bread the grate Cok
of the Wud onely we have no Wud for him to be Cok of--and now
for aquotic Warter Burds we hav wite Swons but they hav not any
cygnitures, and the Black is very unrisenable as to expens but Mr.
Hunt has offerd to black one very lo on condishun hits not aloud
to go into the Warter. The Polish swons wod hav bread onely they
did not lay. The Satiety contanes a grate number of Gease and witch
thriv all most as well as they wood on a commun farm and the Sam
with Dux. We wonted to have dukelings from the Mandereen Dux but
they shook there Heds. Too ears a go a qantitty of flownders and
also a quantitty of heals of witch an exact acount is recordid
wear turned into one of the Ponds but there State as not bean
looked into since they wear plaiced their out of unwillingnes to
disturb the Hotter. At pressent their exists in one Pond a stock
of Karps and in too others a number of gould fish of the commun
Sort. The number left as bean correcly tacken and the ammount
checkt by the Pellycanes and Herrins and Spun-bills and guls and
other piskiverous Burds. Looking at the hole of the Farm in one
Pint of Vue we hav ben most suckcesful with Rabits and Poltry and
Piggins and Ginny Pigs but the breading of sich being well none to
Skullboys, I beg as to their methodistical principals to refer your
Honner to Master Gorge wen he cums home for the Holedays. I furgot
to say the Parnassian Sheap was acomidated with a Pen to it self
but produst nothin worth riting. But the attemps we hav maid this
here, will be prosycutid next here with new Vigors.
