"GA-KEfETN MAKtTAX VOTR TfiE SOUTHERN STATES. lY'i 



At our first annual Louisiana State Fair we scored eleven prizes. 



Our pens are distinctly separated from one another, so much so that no intermixing 

 can occur; the land is well drained, and pens high, well ventilated and always kept iu a 

 clean and healthy condition. From personal experience we have selected these breeds as 

 specially adapted to our climate. We handle no others. 



Birds are carefully packed and shipped F . 0. B. here. The eggs are also carefully 

 ked in separate department bo^es which will insure their carriage several hundred

PEACOCKS. 



PEA-FOWL. (LAT. PAVO.) 



This magnificent bird is not a native of this country, but 

 has been domesticated in England for many years. The gor- 

 geous 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 plumage. No collection of Poultry is 

 complete withou-t-on-e of these magnificent birds. Price, $10.00 

 per n air.

 BUFF COCHINS, 



We can not show the beautiful color in the 

 ■cut herewith, which its name indicates as a 

 clear uEiform buff; sometimes light in shade, 

 and often deeper, the deep buff being con- 

 sidered the most desirable in color. Buff Co- 

 chins are nearly as large as Brahmas, but diff- 

 erent 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 broody early-; 

 and those who wish to have early chickens can 

 use them for sitting as they are extremely re- 

 Mable for sitters. When lull grown, cocks 

 weigh 11 pounds and hens 9 pounds. They 

 breed true to feather, are hardy, easily kept in 

 confinement and are very docile. Of late years 

 they have become quite popular. Dr. S. C. 

 Mayer's strain is known as the finest in the 

 world. _ _. _ , .

 well in a cold coop as in a warm one, and are the largest among 

 imported fowls.
