WE invite your perusal of the following pages, which we have devoted to our Live Stock Depart- 

 ment. To our old customers, we need only say that we have added fresh prize-taking blood 

 to all of our pens and yards, and }-ou need not be afraid of in-breeding by purchasing of us 

 again. To those who have never bought Live Stock of us, we would add that we guarantee 

 the safe arrival of all shipments, and that they will be of the finest and choicest stock of this 

 and other countries. 



OUR PRICES are as low as such high-class stock can be bred for ; and it is unnecessary for you to 

 ■write us to kuow if we will take less than the prices published in our catalogue, as we cannot do so 

 under any circumstances. 



EGGS FOR HATCHING. We guarantee all eggs fresh and true to name, and all from first-class 

 stock. Frequently chicks of black breeds have some white feathers when hatched — this does not denote 

 impuritj', as they will throw them in moulting and their plumage then becomes solid black. We can 

 ship eggs only by express to any State or Territory. 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-Offlce plainly, and we will notify you by tele- 

 graph or mail in advance of all shipments. Express agents feed and water, and collect express charges 

 at destination.

We know of no fowl jwssessing so many points of supeiiority for the poultry raiser or practical farmer as the White 

 Wyandotte. For beauty and style they have no equal. Their plumage being a pure 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 INIinorcas and I^eghorns. Tliev commence laying very early and continue through the 

 season, uninterruptedly, if given reasonable care. The birds we are breeding are the best that careful selection and money 

 could secure. No birds to offer this season. Eggs, per setting of 13, 83.00 ; per 26, $5.50.
