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 Day 

 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 tender, sweet, juicy and fine 

 grained. Chicks grow most rapidly, ma- 

 turing at an early age. If you once breed 

 them you will certainly like them on 

 account of their excellent 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. 



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. 



Setting of thirteen eggs, $2.00; Hens, 

 $2.50 each; Pullets, $2.00 each; Cocks. 

 $3.50 each; Cockerells, $2.50 each; Trio, 

 $7.00. Our birds compare with the best 

 known. 



Black Minorca. 



The Black Minorca is a well established 

 breed of English fowls, belonging to the 

 Spanish varieties, and wherever bred are 

 considered a valuable breed, are hardy, 

 both as fowls and chicks, easily raised, 

 mature early and pullets commence lay- 

 ing when very young. They are non- 

 sitters, small eaters, splendid foragers, 

 and without doubt very profitable. Their 



plumage is pure black with a green or 

 metallic lustre. Their legs are feather- 

 less, clean and of a dark slate color. Set- 

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

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

 each; Cockerells, $2.50 each. Beautiful 

 stock. 



Cornish Indian Games. — Hens, $3.00; 

 Pullets, $2.00; Cocks, $5.00; Cockerells, 

 $3.00. 



We have Bantam Fowls of different 

 colors. Price, Hen, $1.50; Cock, $2.00:

Barred Plymouth Rocks. 



This most popular breed as an all round 

 fowl needs no words of praise. They are 

 good layers the year round, chicks grow 

 very rapidly and make good broilers in a 

 few weeks. Setting of thirteen eggs, 

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

 each; Cocks, $3.00 each; Cockerells, $3.00 

 each; Trio, $7.00. These are fine breed- 

 ing stock.

 price as barred. 



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 

 j 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 nroody 

 early; and those who wish to have early 

 chickens can use them for sitting, as 

 they are extremely reliable for sitters. 

 When full grown, cocks weigh 11 pounds.
