Pure Bred Poultry 
Cornish Indian Games. 
This is in no sense a fighting or Pit Game fowl. They are in every way as 
peaceable as the Plymouth or Wyandottes. As a table fowl they stand alone at 
the head of the list, surpassed by none. They have more breast meat than any 
other fowl, according to their size, with yellow legs and skin, the males weighing 
from 9 to lo lbs., hens S]^ to 7 lbs. In color the fowls are quite pretty, the bright 
brown shafts and the glossy green lacing make a beautiful contrast. Here we 
have a fowl for the market poultryman, the farmer, the broiler raiser, the egg pro- 
ducer, and the fancier. The general appearance is that of a powerful bird, body 
very broad, thick and compact, flesh firm and solid. My stock is direct from C. 
A. Sharp's First Prize Winners at the Madison Square Garden poultry shows, and 
and from Lester's and Gath's very best stock.

Buff Cochins. 
This breed is one of the oldest of thoroughbred fowls. They are without 
question by far the most beautiful and attractive of all domestic fowls, being 
immense in size, and in color they are a rich, uniform buff. They are hardy, 
docile, easily confined, and have been rightly styled. Big Golden Beauties, and of 
late this breed has become very popular with the rich class of people. My buffs 
are the Gold Dust Strain, recognized by all to be the very best strain in this 
country. They are buff to the skin, with extra heavy leg and toe feathering, good 
winter layers, and very reliable sitters and mothers. This breed and strain cannot 
be too highly prized by all lovers of pure bred poultry.

I,ight Brahmas. 
This variety, like the Plymouth Rocks, are so well known that they need but 
very little recommendation. They are the largest of all our breeds, males weigh- 
ing from 12 to 14 lbs., hens from 9 to 10 lbs., and will yield a greater weight of 
flesh and eggs than any other breed in existence. My Light Brahmas are the 
Felch strain and are almost non-sitters, hence they are remarkable layers; and I 
consider them one of the very best breeds for all purposes.
