adapted for general purpose fowls. The prices

Eggs for Hatching. free range and guarantee 
all eggs fresh and true toname. I cannot guar- 
antee any number to hatch, as this depends on 
causes over which I have no control. Please 
bear in mind young chicks of many breeds do 
not feather the same color as at maturity. Un- 
less customers request, will not ship eggs before 
March 15th, owing to the changeable weather. 
I can, however, ship earlier if requested.

eggs. Single male, $3.50;

and 2 pullets, $10.00. Eggs,
