-Poutiy and Live 
While we have been filling orders for ' | 
eges for several years, we find that they 
do not bear transportation with safety 
and satisfaction hence we advise our 
customers and friends to order poultry 
instead. In the event that eggs are or- 
dered, 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.

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 suppose, 
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.

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
