All extraordinary event in poultry-breeding lias, according to the Bendigo Emiiny News, lately occurred at Mr Clifton’s homestead, "Yanked"Creek. A turkey cock having sat upon two eggs f or a day or two, Mr Clifton, out of curiosity, placed a full clutch under him ; and, strange to say, the bird sat his time, and brought out a brood of tine young turkeys. He is now cooped up with them, and is' as proud and careful as any hen could be. He is quite a motherly old father, and, to all appearance, will prove a terror to all the poultry of the yard when he is liberated. ' ' '
