BABY CHICKS BT 



The elimination of 

 doubt in incubating 

 eggs has been such 

 a boon to poultry 

 raisers that the 

 baby chick business, 

 at first a subject of 

 ridicule, has become 

 one of the largest 

 departments of the 

 poultry business. 



Our trade in baby 

 chicks has increased 

 with such rapidity 

 that it is almost im- 

 possible to tell with 

 absolute certainty what proportions our sales will be the 

 coming season. Nevertheless, we know that the safest plan 

 for our friends to follow is not to wait until late in the 

 season or until a few days before you wish the chicks, but 

 to order early and be sure of getting your order in good time. 



Be sure when writing us that your full name and post- 

 office is very plainly given. State plainly the number and 

 variety of chicks you want, when wanted, and we will ac- 

 knowledge receipt of your order at once, and tell you about 

 when the chicks will be shipped. 



Cash must be sent with your order, for we cannot ship 

 C. 0. D., by express or parcel post. 



We guarantee to deliver 97 per cent of the Baby Chicks 

 to you in good condition. 



Examine the Shipments 



On arrival open box, if any chicks are dead have postman 

 mark number on the back of the receipt and return the re- 

 ceipt to us, and we will refund your money for them or re- 

 place them free of charge. In this way you have no loss 

 and get full number you pay for. We have successfully 

 shipped baby chicks 1,000 miles and can guarantee safe ar- 

 rival. \ < ^ 



All claims must be made within twenty-four hours, to- 

 gether with a statement from your postmaster, showing the 

 chicks were received in poor condition. 



Have the brooder warmed up and ready to receive and 

 care for the chicks properly. 



Don't give baby chicks cold water to drink. Don't over- 

 feed chicks. Either of the above will start bowel troubles. 

 Feed liberally, so long as they keep active. Keep their backs 

 warm. 



Single Comb White Leghorns 



The ever-increasing demand for Leghorn eggs in the New 

 York market has led observing poultrymen and farmers to 

 look to the Leghorn hen for highly profitable results. 



The White Leghorn, generally known as "America's Busi- 

 ness Hen," has proven a winner, and today there are hun- 

 dreds of large and small commercial Leghorn farms suc- 

 cessfully operated in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and 

 right through to the South and far Western coast. 



White Wyandottes 



This is one of the oldest breeds and only its sterling 

 qualities have kept it from being discarded long ago. They 

 are beautiful fowl with large red rose comb, white plumage 

 and yellow skin. They are splendid layers and make first- 

 class table fowl. Our Wyandottes are developed from a flock, 

 a pen of which won first prize in one of the recent egg- 

 laying contests. 



Barred Plymouth Rocks 



The Barred Plymouth Rock is most widely known as a 

 general purpose fowl, a breed which has proven its value as 

 a market fowl and an egg producer. They are extremely 

 and well adapted as a profitable and popular farm flock. 



We breed for constitutional vigor, thereby maintaining 

 the greatest vitality of the flock to attain as high an egg 

 production as is consistent with retained vitality. 



Rhode Island Reds 



As a "business hen" for eggs and meat they are hard to 

 beat. They lay a well-shaped, good-sized brown egg, and 

 mostly uniform in shape, size and color. 



The matured feathering of the Rhode Island Red is not as 

 yet uniform in coloring. This is being improved each year, 

 to the great credit of hundreds of our best breeders of 

 America. 



We can also supply other varieties you may wish, and 

 will gladly answer your inquiries with lists and prices.
