TESTiaiONIAtS 



S. J. Rexz, D.D.S., Leavenworth, Kans., writes. Feb. 

 5.1897: " The female collie you sent me arrived safely on 

 Mondav, while I -was away, but my wife, who had said she 

 would not keep her, changed her mind at once, and she now 

 thinks more of her than I do. We are very proud of her. for 

 she is a beauty and has more sense than any pup of her age 

 I ever saw."' 



Chas. W.W.\i>'WRiGHT.M.D.,PrincessAnne, Jld., writes, 

 Apri: 23, 1897 : "The eggs sent me were received in good 

 condition save one. From 12 Golden Wyandotte Eggs I got 

 U chicks and from 13 Black Langshans I got 10 chicks, the 

 old hen breaking one egg in the nest. Considering the dis- 

 tance they came and the amount of shaking they must 

 necessarily have gotten, I think this was a most remarkable 

 result. One would scarcely expect better from eggs of his 

 own saving at home. I am indeed very proud." 



SCOTCH COLLIE SHEPHERD DOGS 



The Collie is the most intelligent of all dogs, is easily 

 educated, a good watcli-Uog and proleclor of our .yards and 

 lierds, a household pet and children's friend, a loj-al and 

 atfectionate comrade and messenger. 



In every poultry establishment or dairy or stock farm 

 there is enough for an intelligent Collie to do to save the 

 employment of an e.xtra hand. 



Color. — We prefer sable and white, as we think they 

 make the handsomest dogs, but we often have tliein black 

 and tan and black and white, and white with tan spots. 



Breeding. — Our stud dogs and breeding bitches are all 

 pedigreed and registered in the American Kennel Club 

 ;-tud book, and iU tlieir veins runs the bluest of blue bloo<i. 

 .\11 of our pups are furnished with pedigree, and they can 

 be registered at an additional cost of Si. Ou, which isthe Club's 

 fee. 



Price. — Price of puppies largely depends upon breeding 

 and individual specimens. We can mostly supply good 

 males at SIO to S15 e.ich, and females at $8 to SIO each ; S17 to 

 SJ5 per pair. 



For extra selected ]>ups we get from $15 to 525 each. 



Spayed Females. — Many prefer these lo any olhers, 

 and they make very satisfactory house dogs. Keep at home 

 and attend to their ijusiness. Price, same as males. 



mM\^n mm Kmp 



The mammoth bronze turkey leads the entire turkey 

 family in size, <iuality of Hesli and beauty. It is purely an 

 Aniericiin production. The plumage is, as its name indi- 

 cates, a bronze, of a rich metallic hue. The wing coverts are 



a beautiful rich bronze, the 

 leathers terminating in a 

 wide bronzy band across 

 the wings when folded, 

 and separated from the 

 |)rimaries b.va glossy black 

 ribbon-like mark, formed 

 by the end of tlie coverts. 

 Each feather is irregularly 

 penciled with narrow 

 i)ands of light brown, and 

 ending in a broad black 

 banil. with a wide edging 

 of a dull white or gray. In 

 the female the entire plu- 

 mage 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 

 weights as follows : Adult cock, 35 lbs.; hen, 20 lbs ; yearling 

 cock. 32 lbs.; cockerel. 24 lbs.; 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 S7.00 : pair, S12.00 ; trio, 515.00. 

 Eggs, per 6, S2.50; per 12, S4.50. 



White Pekin Ducks 



Pekin ducks -were first imported into this countr>- from 

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

 Conn., about the year 1873. They made their first appear- 

 ance in England in 1872. 

 .^,. , . -• The Pekins have taken the 



place of the iMuscovy duck 

 for market culture in this 

 country, principally owing 

 to their hardy nature, more 

 rapid growth and other ex- 

 cellent qualities so impor- 

 tant in market culture, and 

 not so prominent in the 

 Muscovy. The Pekin is a 

 pure white duck, with short 

 legs of a reddish orange col- 

 or. The bill is of a medium 

 size, and of deep yellow 

 '^■P^C^affiSi^lt^^-j V ' color. The Standard gives 



.„i^p'?(siiii^^o^^^^_:_;., _ jj^p weightof an adult drake 



WHITE PEKIN DTJCKS. . 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 Islanrl duck farms. The necks are stronglv built; 

 back, broad and long; breast, full and round ; and the body 

 deep and very long. 



Prices: Single drake, S3.00 ; pair, So.OO; trio, 88.00.. 

 Eggs, per 6, $1.00 ; per Iz, $1.75.
