 GAME FOWLS. 



In offering our Game Fowls we know that we have as fine a strain of game (fighting birds) as are to 

 be found in America. These fowls are bred and sired by cocks that have proven their ability in the pit, 

 and only bred from cocks that have won half dozen fights or more against first-class competitors, and 

 having been cut and tried ont, and are known to be good, The hens, as a matter of course, from the 

 same kind of stock. 



We have a cross that show a very small tassel, or top knot, in many instances, which have a reputa- 

 tion in Mew Orleans pits as being the finest strain of fighting fowls fought in years. Price, Pallets 

 $3 00; Hens, $3 50; Stags, $4 00; Cocks, $6.00. Eggs per dozen, $2.00.

WHITE LEGHORNS. 



(Single Comb.) 



gWhite Leghorns resemble very closely 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 the 

 same as the Brown variety. Thej are non-sitters and 

 splendid 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 eacb ; 

 Pullets, $1 75 each; Cocks, $3.00; Cockerells, $2.00 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 have 

 a black stripe in center, back 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 ten- 

 der, sweet, juicy and fine grained. Chicks grow most rapidly, 

 maturing at an early age. If you once breed them you will 

 certainly like them on account of their excellent egg pro- 

 ducing qualities. Setting of thirteen eggs, $2.00; Hens, $2.00 

 each; Pullets, $1.75 each; Cocks, $3.00 each; Cockerells, $2 50
