As a “farmers’” fowl the Plymouth Rocks are held in the very highest estima- 
tion. Being of large size, good layers, and breeders, with flesh of excellent 
quality and perfectly hardy, they make the best all round fowl for the farmer both 
for home use and for the market. They grow very fast, the cock weighing at ma- 
turity from nine to eleven pounds, the hen from seven to nine pounds. They 
make first-rate mothers, yet are not prone to sit too persistently, and are easily 
kept within bounds. In appearance they are trim and neat, with elegant plum- 
age, clean yellow legs and good carriage. To those who want a good serviceable 
breed for all round purposes we cannot recommend any better than the Plymouths, 
and we may add that purer or better stock than our own will be hard to find. 
Our birds are first-class in every way. Eggs for hatching, $2.50 per setting of 
thirteen ; $4.00 per two settings of twenty-six eggs. Price of fowls see price list. 
The Brahmas are probably the most popular of any breed of fowls at the pres- 
ent day. They grow fast and are splendid for table when young ; they bear con- 
finement well and are easily kept within bounds ; they commence to lay when 
seven months old, producing usually about thirty eggs before commencing to set, 
and often laying without intermission all winter when other breeds are entirely 
stopped. They grow to a very large size, the cock averaging twelve to thirteen 
pounds, and the hen nine to ten pounds, and birds have been known to have 
reached the enormous weight of eighteen pounds, while thirteen and fourteen 
pounds are not uncommon. In size they certainly surpass all other breeds, and 
are one of the most profitable fowls both for market and home use. They are 
much more sprightly than the Cochins and seldom get out of condition from over- 
feeding. No poultry-yard is complete without at least a few Brahmas. Our 
stock of Light Brahmas has been most carefully bred and is very fine. Eggs for 
hatching, $2.50 per setting of thirteen. $4.00 per two settings of twenty-six
