Mammotli Bronze Tufkeys. 



THE MAMMOTH BRONZE TURKEY" 

 leads the entire turkey family in size, quality 

 ^ of flesh and beauty. It is purely an American 

 production. The plumage is, as its name 

 indicates, a bronze, of a rich metallic hue. 

 The wing coverts are a beautiful rich tronze,. 

 the feathers terminating in a wide bronzy 

 band across the wings when folded, and 

 separated from the primaries by a glossy black 

 nbbon-like mark, formed by "the end' of the 

 , coverts. Each feather is irregularly penciled 

 with narrow bandsof light brown, and ending 

 in a broad black band, with a wide edging of 

 a dull white or gray. In the female the 

 entire plumage is similar to that of the male 

 but the colors are more dull, and not so clearly 

 defined, the edging of the feathers being a 

 dull white or gray. The Standard places the 

 w eights as follows; Adult cock, 35 lbs. : hen, 

 20 lbs.; yearling cock, 32 lbs.; cockerel, 24 Ibs.;- 

 pullet, 15 lbs. But much heavier weights than 

 those have been obtained. The hens will lay as 

 many as fifty eggs in a season (from April 1st- 

 to July 1st) if properly fed and cared for. 



Prices : Toms, S6.00 to 87.00 ; pair, $12.00 ; 

 trio, $15.00.

CUhite Pekin Dacks. 



Pekin ducks were first imported into this country from 

 Pekin, China, by Mr. James E. Palmer, of Stonington, 

 Conn., about the year 1873. They made their first app.'ar- 

 ance in England in 1872. The" Pekiashave taken the 

 place of the Muscovy duck for market culture in this 

 country, principally owing to their hardy nature, more 

 rapid growth and other excellent qualities so important 

 in market culture, and not so prominent in the Muscovy. 

 The Pekin is a pure white duck, with short legs of a red- 

 dish orange color. The bill is of a medium size, and of 

 deep yellow color. The Standard gives the weight of an 

 adultdrake at eight pounds ; young drake, seven pounds ; 

 adult duck, seven pounds, and young duck, six pounds 

 Yet the writer saw a number of ten and twelve pound 

 carcasses on the Long Island duck farms. The necks are 

 strongly built; back, broad and long; breast, full and 

 round :" and the bodv deep and verv long. 



Prices: Single drake, 83.00; pair, 85.00; trio, SS.OO. 

 Eggs, per 6, SI. 00 ; per 12, SI. 75.

Geo. H. Duff, Kentuck, W. Va., writes : " The eggs sent me for hatching, owing to your perfect manner of packing, were 

 received in good condition. Our people thought they would not hatch well coming so long a distance, but the success I have 

 met with dispersed all such ideas. Twelve of the White and ten of the Golden Wyandotte eggs hatched. All of them are 

 beauties, all perfectly healthy and active. They were six weeks old last Sunday, and are admitted by all as being the prettiest 

 chicks ever seen."
