GAME FOWLS. 



SUMATRA GAMES. 



This io a breed much resembling the Sumatra Pheasant 

 Games, yet having distinct characteristics, and known simply 

 as the " Sumatra Games," without the term " Pheasant." 

 They are not considered equal in the qualities that constitute a 

 good Game fowl, to the Sumatra Pheasant Games. The fol- 

 lowing description of them, by Mr. S. B. Morse, Jr., is taken 

 from the " New England Farmer : " 



" The progenitors of this race of fowls were, several years since, 

 brought from the Island of Sumatra. The utmost care has been used 

 to prevent the possibility of a cross in this stock. 



This breed of Game fowls is, in my opinion, equal, if not superior
