THOROUGHBRED Pouutry 
I haye spared no expense to have the finest stock of each breed, and keep 
several distinct yards of each breed, so that we can send out stock not akin. 
The prices quoted, which are my very lowest, are for first-class breeding fowls, 
from the very best strains and properly mated.

INDIAN GAMES. 
= THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE FOWLEVER KNOWN 
INDIAN GAMES.—They are the quickest growing chick from the shell 
up to 10 or 12 weeks of any breed, large or small. 
males that weigh 3 to4 lbs. each. This wonderful growth is accounted for by 
the fact that they grow a very short feather, thus the nourishment required by 
other breeds to grow feathers is used by the Indian 
Games to produce flesh. They lay larve eggs and 
are the equal of the well-known Plymouth \ 
Rock for laying qualities. The flesh is of the Y 
finest quality, juicy and tender. ‘They are easily 
cared for, and are, without doubt, the fowl for those 
who want quick growth, good size, good laying 
and eating qualities and beauty in appearance. 
In general appearance they are powerful and 
broad; plumage short and cannot be too hard 
and close; carriage upright, back sloping down- 
f ward toward the tail; color of cock a green glossy- 
® black with brown or crimson markings. Hen ty 
© ground color, chestnut brown with beautiful lacing \\g 
f of green, glossy black ; legs in both sexes yellow or \e 
f@ orange. Hens, when full grown, weigh seven to \¥ 
f eight pounds and cocks nine to eleven pounds. ww

DERBYSHIRE RED CAPS.—This breed 
although well-known in England is comparatively 
new inthe U.S. From my experience with them 
the last three or four years I can heartily recom- 
mend them as most excellent layers and also first-class table fowls. They are 
fast becoming a favorite in this country; they are beautifully marked and in 
color are a red or rich brown 2nd black. Full grown birds wil] weigh from 6 to 
7 lbs. for cock and 5 to 
6for hen. They are 
ih 
most excellent egg pro- 
ducing sort. Eggs I 
offer my customers are 
from birds bred direct 
from imported stock.
