Farmer’s Poultry Department 
Poultry and fruit make a strong combination, suitable for the man or woman 
who has a small piece of land. The droppings from poultry are very valuable 
to fertilize berries and the young chicks eat and destroy many insects that are 
harmful to fruits. We make a specialty of supplying eggs for hatching, but can 
also supply most varieties of fowls, except geese, at $2.50 per single bird, male 
or female, and $0.00 for trios. We keep only the White Wyandottes ourselves 
The other varieties of eggs are produced by different parties in this locality who 
have made a specialty of their particular breed for many years. Pulaski is noted 
as a great poultry center and has many up-to-date poultry men. Every year 
these men go through their flocks in the fall and select the very best birds for 
breeding purposes, at the same time throwing out the culls. In this way the 
breeds are perfected and improved from year to year. New blood is introduced 
by the purchase of males from the leading breeders in all sections of the 
country. I believe that my practice of keeping but one breed on our farm and 
getting eggs from other breeders in this locality, who keep but one variety, is 
far better than to try to keep all kinds on one farm. This trying to keep birds 
of different breeds on one place may be all right in theory, but in actual practice 
it is almost impossible to prevent them getting together accidentally at times. 
We believe there are no better eggs produced for practical purposes than the ones 
that we have to sell. We exercise the greatest care to have all eggs pure and 
reliable and if, after hatching, they prove otherwise, we will refill the orders at 
half price. We pack and deliver to express at prices attached. 
White Wyandottes. — This is the 
only varietv that we keep on our own 
farm. They are a general purpose fowl, 
being as good layers as the Leghorns 
and when dressed off weigh nearly as 
much as the Plymouth Rocks. The eggs 
are of medium size, light brown and 
sometimes faintly speckled. The fowls 
are snow white with rose combs, yellow 
legs and mature early, being considered 
the very best variety for broilers. They 
lay throughout the greatest length of 
season of any variety we know, mature 
hens having the characteristic of laying 
late in the fall and early winter. Eggs, 
$1.25 per 15; $2 per 30; $5 per 100.

S. C. White Leghorns. —If large 
white eggs are the chief consideration, 
the White Leghorn is the variety to 
keep. They are very spry and active, 
good foragers and yet they bear confine¬ 
ment well. The eggs are exceedingly 
fertile and hatch well. The chicks are 
quite hardy and mature a', an early age. 
The cocks weigh from \y 2 to 5 pounds; 
the hens from \\/ 2 to 5 pounds. The 
pullets often lay when only four months 
old and are not inclined to sit. Eggs,
