A Typical 7-lb. Yama Minorca Female from an Untouched Photograph. Note the Long Back and 
Depth of Body and all Egg-Laying Characteristics. 
Why Keep Yama Black Minorcas? 
It is admitted that Minorcas lay the largest hen’s egg known, 
and the Yama strain of Minorcas is the result of years of scien¬ 
tific breeding for extra large eggs from this strain of large-egg 
layers. The birds themselves are the largest of any of the egg- 
laying breeds, and their extremely long breasts supply an extra 
amount of white meat. Yama Minorca eggs are 30% larger than 
the best first-class A-i eggs, and usually sell at a fancy price. 
Breed for quality of birds as well as egg-laying strain—and 
when you see those green-sheened Yama Black Minorcas with 
their bright red combs and white ear lobes on your green grass, 
you will never regret having selected Minorcas for your home 
breed. 
Wherever Yama Black Minorcas have been shown they have 
won the highest honors. At the last Madison Square Garden 
Show in New York. Yama Minorcas won four firsts out of a 
PQSsible five, and two weeks later we showed two collections of 
birds, at two shows during the same week. At the Great Interna- 
‘tionabvShbw.qt Buffalo, Yama Minorcas won all the firsts except 
' one, aCic- iviaffiV' 'Specials, and at our County Show at New Paltz 
they won'all the nV,st prizes and many others. 
We have proved the efficiency of Yama Minorcas for eggs, 
flesh and beauty. Eggs for hatching, $10 a setting. Eggs for 
hatching utility egg-layers, $3 a setting, $15 a hundred. 
°° (■ 'There* is-ho oetter line of Barred Plymouth Rocks in this 
country than we are breeding at Yama Farms. We had more 
Barred Plymouth Rock hens placed at the last Madison Square 
Garden Show than any other breeder, and at the International 
Show at Buffalo, we won all the Barred Rock first prizes except 
one, and the first Cockerel of Yama Farms was the Champion¬ 
ship Male of all American breeds. Eggs for hatching, $10 a 
setting. Utility hatching eggs, $3 a setting, $15 a hundred. 
Send for illustrated catalogue for both breeds, and if you are 
interested in squabs, ask for the Pigeon Book by Thomas 
Wright, which will give you much valuable information about 
breeding large squabs.
