rOOLTBT, DIFFERENT VARIETIES. 
White Georgia Game. 
This variety, originally bred in Europe, but brought into Georgia many 
years ago, and since carefully bred in various parts of the South, are 
game in the pit, and most excellent farm fowls, being hardy, courageous, 
and the flesh most excellent in quality. For beauty of plumage, elegant 
shape and lofty carriage, they have few if any superiors. 
In the color they should be pure white all over, with no shade whatever 
on neck, breast, hock or tail. The legs may be white or yellow. We 
prefer the yellow, sinoe it is an indication of a stronger constitution. 
The beak should harmonize with the legs, and the comb, ear lobes and 
wattles must be of the deepest vermilion color. Such a breed on the 
lawn makes one of the prettiest sights we have ever seen, and in quality 
of the flesh they have no superiors. 
Game Bantams. 
These are small varieties of the more common large breeds. Alert, 
courageous little fellows, some of them not larger than good sized 
pigeons, but fully capable of driving any ordinary barn-yard fowl, how- 
ever large it may be. The more prominent of these are the Black 
Breasted red game bantams. As pets they are most attractive and may 
be kept with any of the large breeds without danger of intermixing as to 
the hen bantams. 
Other Bantams. 
The most highly prized of the fancy bantams are the golden and silvel 
spangled Sebright bantams. There are also bantams of the white and 
black races of smooth-legged fowls, as there also are of the Asiatics. 
Sebright Bantams. 
There are two varieties of these, the golden 
penciled and the silver penciled, identical in shape 
and markings except the color. Both varieties 
are remarkably beautiful ; pert, lively, vigorous, 
and when small and well bred, among the nicest 
pets of the farm-yard. The plumage of the Silver 
bantam is of a silver-white color with a jet black 
margin. The Golden variety is identical except 
that the ground color of the plumage is golden. 
The legs are smooth, the heads are clean, the comb 
double and pointed at the back, and the tail straight 
and without the long sickle feathers. Whether 
they be golden or silver spangled, the value of the 
Itrds consists in the delicacy and pencilings of the
