Wattlegrove Poultry Farm.
Mr. Walter Smith, who has started a poultry farm on the Bylong-road, has secured a quartette of SiIver Campine fowls (three hens and a cockerel) from Sydney. The birds, which were prize winners in the Sydney Show, are reputed to have outrivalled Leghorns in the Hawkesbury College laying contest. Mr. Smith Is preparing to build up his pens at this poultry farm, which will be known as Wattle Grove. His reputation as a high-class breeder in all parts of the State is unchallengeable and by the aid of the Mudgee 'Guardian' as an advertising medium he has in the past 12 months distributed birds as far out as Nevertire1
