Thoroughbred Poultry and Live Stock. 
We invite your perusal of the following pages, which we have deyoted to our Live Stock Department. To our old custo- 
mers, we need only say that we have added fresh prize-taking blood to all of our pens and yards, and you need not be afraid 
of in-breeding by purchasing of us again. To those who have never bought Live Stock of us, we wouldadd that we guaran- 
tee the safe arrival of all shipments, and that they will be of the finest and choicest thoroughbred stock of this and other 
countries ; fully up to representation, and well worth the price asked, which is as low as such high-class stock can be bred for. 
EGGS FOR HATCHING. We guarantee all eggs fresh and true toname. _Wecan ship eggs only by express, to any 
State. We cannot guarantee any certain number to hatch, as this depends on so many causes over which we have no control ; 
but our system of packing is so perfect that excellent hatches are the rule, no matter how great the distance. 
NO LIVE STOCK OR EGGS SENT C. O. D. Cash must accompany all orders. 
SHIPMENTS. Always give us your Express and Post-Office plainly, and we will notify you by telegraph or 
mail in advance of all shipments. Express agents feed and water, and collect express charges at destination. 
_ We know of no fowl possessing so many points of superiority for the poultry raiser or practical farmer as the White 
Wyandotte. For beauty, style and fine form they have no equal. Their plumage being a pure snow-white, with legs, beaks 
and skin a rich yellow, Asa market or table fowl they have no superior. They have a close-fitting, medium-size rose comb, 
and thus are not troubled by the frost, as the Minoreas and Leghorns. They mature quickly, commence laying very early 
and continue through the season, uninterruptedly. ‘They are good foragers and make the kindest mothers. The birds we are 
breeding are the best that careful selection and money could secure, breeding so remarkably true that out of several hun- 
dred bred the past season not one bird showed a black feather.
