My Thoroughbred Poultry Farm. 
0 
I have established a thoroughbred poultry parm in connection with my seed business, for the 
purpose of supplying my customers with the purest strains of eighteen of the most popular breeds of profitable poultry, which 
are famous for their production of eggs, and meat for market, as well as for exhibition purposes. 
All my pens of each breed are headed with 1st prize winners at leading shows. I have paid the highest prices to obtain the best 
blood for my breeding pens, some of these breeds having been imported from England, and all my breeds came direct from specialists 
land can be relied upon. I have over 100 acres of laud (most of it in clover) devoted to poultry, which gives each breed a large run. 
| My main breeding house is 550 feet long, and the illustration gives but a faint idea of its size and length. 
All pens are mated up with the greatest care under the management of a practical poultrvman who has been raising thorough¬ 
bred poultry for twenty-five } r ears on several of the most successful breeding plants in the United States, so that any person invest¬ 
ing their money with this plant in thoroughbred breeding stock or eggs for hatching, may have confidence in getting the best they 
can obtain for the money. This department is no side issue, but an up-to-date Poultry Farm, handled by careful 
and practical poultry men. 
I want to say to my customers, that if any one of the eighteen breeds interest you, let me know your wants and I am sure that 
I can supply you the best at reasonable prices. I purpose to have every order filled with the best stock. Success in the poultry busi. 
ness depends upon foundation of stock and management. Buy good breeding birds; the cheapest are generally the most expensive in 
the long run. 
You will find prices of eggs for hatching under the description of each variety, and you will notice that I cannot furnish young 
stock of many breeds this spring on account of increasing my own breeding stock, and I would advise you to place your order early 
so that you can take advantage of the early fall shipments that I will make. 
I pack eggs in such a manner that they may be safely sent to any part of the world. They are accepted by the express com¬ 
panies at merchandise rates which is the lowest rate they have. I sell eggs in 100 lots or more from the same stock as those I sell 
ia settings at higher prices. This is very convenient for those who wish to set a number of hens or to fill incubators. 
All orders that cannot be filled immediately will be promptly acknowledged, and in sending your order be sure to give name, 
post office, express office, county and state, with instructions as to how you prefer to have shipments made. 
See colored plate for a good illustration of each breed, which shows shape, colors, etc.

shipment. Prices on application. Get your orders in now for October 1,1904, delivery. Do not wait for you will be disappointed.
