SINGLE COMB BROWN LEGHORN. 



The illustration gives one a fairly good idea of ftffia re- 

 markable breed. 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 



felacK 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, pore 

 white earlobes and perfectly yellow legs and skin. Their 

 meat is very tender, sweet, juicy and fine grained. Chicks 

 grow most rapidly, maturing at an early age. If yon once 

 breed them you will certainly like them on account of tbfcir 

 excellent egg producing qualities. Extra choice cockerefflfs 

 for breeding or the show room, scoring as high as 94Vfe points 

 are to be had from our yards. We have never failed to carry 

 away prizes on this variety at the very best shows. Write us,
