PUBLISHER'S NOTICES 



IX 



TAKE OFF THE COVER AND BEGIN AT THE MOST INTERESTING POINT. 



that by rights they belong" to the hen ; 

 but when one gets them by express 

 they seem like waifs that have come 

 for care and therefore demand parental 

 love, and the greater the love for any- 

 thing the greater the joy of doing or of 

 having. We, therefoie, recommend 

 that our readers who wish to have a 

 supply of chickens should order them 

 from some well known house that will 

 supply them at as low a rate as is con- 



sistent with good stock. Those pic- 

 tured in the accompanying illustra- 

 tions are single-combed white leg- 

 horns from Mr. George C. Thomas, 

 Willimantic, Connecticut. Undoubt- 

 edly he will be glad to correspond with 

 any one interested. His chickens ar- 

 rive in good condition because he 

 knows how to pack and ship them and 

 he has good stock that he sells at mod- 

 erate prices. 



"WE ARRIVED IN GOOD CONDITION AND ARE DOING WELL, THANK YOU."
