POULTRY IN THE CITY.
TO TBI EDITOR. .Sir,—Your oomspondoirt "Tlggs," in to-night's issue of your journal, pnrUwte against tbo prohibition of poultrj kooping within the brick area of the otiy. For niy part I ninceroly hojJe the prohibition will bo strictly enforced, for I am Mrtisfierl that fowlyarcW in cities are a most fruitful sourco of disease. Except a fowlrun have a concreto floor and be cleaned every day, it will attract thousands of flies, and that flies are a very serious ageucy in spreading disease has been proved beyond doubt. Another objection to the keeping- of fowls in closely populated localities is the sloop-destroying effect of fowl music oh moonlight nights and at daybreak. This mtisio causes a foring. 'of anything bul, friendliness belivuen neighbours.—l am, etc., HAWK. Bth March.
