A HINT TO POULTRY FANCIERS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—For the benefit of other residents of Maori Hill, I would like through your columns to warn them to keep their poultry securely locked in at night. There is an individual who owns a beautiful collie dog, which he evidently lets loose at nieht to wander round the neighborhood, much to the detriment of bis neighbors’ fowls. Perhaps this particular individual will take this as a Mnt, and’ keep his dog on the chain at night. On Sunday night, at about half-past nine, we heard a noise in our fowlhouse, and hurriedly taking a lamp, we rushed outside just in time to see the dog rush out of the fowlhouse leaving footsteps behind him in the snow, and on entering the fowlhouse we fonnd four fine young pullets killed and one more very much hurt. Such a thing is certainly, most annoying. We also heard yesterday that twenty of another neighbors hens had been killed by a dog the same night.—l am, etc., Beware or the Doc. Juno 6.
