breeds are not laying, and will do nearly 

 as well in a cold coop as in a warm one, 

 and are the largest among imported 

 fowls. Setting of thirteen eggs, $2.50; 

 Hens, $3.00 each; Pullets, $2.00 each; 

 Cocks, $5.00 each; Cockerells, $3.00 

 each. Fine breeding stock. 



White Leghorns. 



(Single Comb.) 



White Leghorns resemble very close- 

 ly the Brown variety, except in color. 

 The large red combs, white earlobes, 

 bright yellow legs and pure white 

 plumage make them very attractive. In 

 size they are about same as the Brown 

 variety. They are non-sitters and splen- 

 did layers of good sized eggs; are good 

 foragers if left to roam, and yet bear 

 confinement well. They mature early 

 and begin laying when about 4 months 

 old. Setting of thirteen eggs, $2.00; 

 Hens, $2.00; Pullets, $1.75 each; Cocks, 

 $3.00; Cockrells, $2.50 each. 



Single Comb Brown Leghorn. 



Single Comb Brown Leghorns are so 

 well known that it is quite unnecessary 

 to describe them in detail. They are 

 brown in color, with the exception that 

 the cock is black on the breast, deep 

 bay red on hackle; each feather should 

 bave a black stripe in center, ba<;k and 

 saddle a deep bay red, tail black; have 

 ■fine red combs and wattles, pure white 

 earlobes and perfectly yellow legs and 

 skin. Their meat is very tender, sweet, 

 juicy and fine grained. Chicks grow 

 most rapidly, maturing at an early age. 

 If you once breed them you will cer- 

 tainly like them on account of their ex- 

 cellent egg producing qualities. Setting 

 of thirteen eggs, $2.00; Hens, $2.00 each; 

 Pullets, $1.75 each; Cocks, $3.00 each; 

 Cockrells, $2.50 each. 



Black Minorca. 



The Black Minorca is a well estab- 

 lished breed of English fowls, belonging 

 to the Spanish varieties, and wherever 



[ bred are considered a valuable breed, 

 I are hardy, both as fowls and chicks, 

 easily raised, mature early and pullets 

 commence laying when very young. 

 They are non-sitters, small eaters, splen- 

 did foragers, and without doubt very 

 profitable. Their plumage is pure black 

 with a green or metallic lustre. Their 

 legs are featherless, clean and of a dark 

 slate color. Setting of thirteen eggs, 

 $2.00; Hens, $2.00 each; Pullets, $1.75 

 each; Cocks, $3.00 each; Cockerells, 

 $2.50 each.

White Wyandottes. 



This variety of the Wyandotte family 

 has shown its superiority as a practical 

 and profitable fowl. Hardy, vigorous, a 

 rapid grower, yellow skin, beak and legs, 

 compact and plump body, and superior 

 laying qualities, even in very cold 

 weather, they combine as many or more 

 good points than any other fowl. Set- 

 ting of thirteen eggs, $2.00; Hens, $2.50 

 each; Pullets, $2.00 each; Cocks, $3.50 

 each; Cockerells, $2.50 each; Trio, $7.50.

 Wyandottes, eggs, only, per setting of 13, 

 eggs, $2.00. 



Buff Cochins. 



We cannot show the beautiful color 

 which its name indicates, as a clear uni- 

 form buff; sometimes light in shade, and 

 often deeper, the deep buff being con- 

 sidered the most desirable in color. Buff 

 Cochins are nearly as large as Brahmas, 

 but different in shape; are more fluffy, 

 deeper and broader astern than the 

 Brahmas. Buffs are practically found to 

 be hardy and good layers during the 

 winter months, and if not too old, and 

 kept in good condition, will moult and 

 lay early and consequently become
