Pouliiy ami Live stocK OeparimnQt. 



While we have been filling orders for 

 eggs for the past 5 or 6 years we find 

 that they do not bear transportation with 

 safety and satisfactorily, hence we advise 

 our customers and friends to order poul- 

 try instead. In the event that eggs are 

 ordered, we want it fully understood that 

 we are not responsible for the eggs after 

 they leave our establishment as to un- 

 fertility due to transportation. 



'Due to the extreme high price of feed 

 of all kinds, we are compelled to increase 

 the price of all live stock. Feed is a 

 little over double the usual price on corn 

 and grain of any kind, hence the small 

 increase put on prices of birds and all 

 live stock does not begin to pay us the 

 difference in cost.

Peacocks. 



Pea-Fowl (Lat. Pavo). 



This magnificent bird is not a native 

 of this country, but has been domestic- 

 ated in England for many years. The 

 gorgeous plumes that adorn the Peacock 

 do not compose the tail as many sup.pose, 

 but are only the tail coverts. The tail 

 feathers themselves are short and rigid 

 and serve to keep the train spread, as 

 may be seen when the bird walks about 

 in all the majesty of his expanded plum- 

 age. No collection of Poultry is complete 

 without one of these magnificent birds. 

 Price, $20 per pair; Cocks, $12.00; Hens. 

 $8.00. 



Light Brahmas. 



The Light Brahma is a very popular 

 and profitable bird; their large bodies 

 and rapid growth making them a good 

 market fowl. They are also an excel- 

 lent fall and winter layer, producing a 

 large part of their eggs when other 



Plant Irish and Sweet Potatoes.
