VALUABLE PEACOCKS
Mr. Peter Watson of town owns
a pair of peacocks, which birds
are rather rare, and quite • valu-
able. Mr.. Watson. has had the pair
for. about a' year, and expects a
hatching of young ones this sunt-'
mer. The female bird is almost
three years ' old and the '- male
about two years old.
. The male is the "glamour" bird,
being a lovely -combination of col-
ors with' a bright blue neck; •
greenish back; and other toning
shades of brown. It's tail will not
be full grown for more than- a
year, when the bird's beauty trill
be fully evident. , .
The female is 'a white • •and
brown and lacks the colored plu-
mage '. of its mete. They ° occupy
the hen ho ue and get.along well
with the tiler fowl. So far tli`e
birds are confined to their pen,
but it is • expected . they will
eventual§ become tarneenough to
release.
The female should commence'
laying in May. The usual setting
is abouteight eggs, and .the in-
