The Light Brahma 
The American Light 
Brahma Club has six 
hundred members. 
The club issues a 
handsome illustrated 
year book. 
This book explains 
to the uninitiated, 
that the Light Brah¬ 
ma isn’t light at all 
—at least not in 
weight —- but the 
heaviest of breeds. 
Moreover, this 
Ujh. 
breed lays the heavi¬ 
est eggs. 
This phenomenal bird, 
with the ancestral nobil¬ 
ity which gives it its 
name, has recently be¬ 
come immensely popu¬ 
lar. Everywhere 
it attracts attention for 
its size and beauty of 
plumage. It is not 
difficult to raise. It 
grows rapidly. It lays 
well. 
For the poultry-raiser 
with small space at his 
disposal, the Light 
Brahma is ideal.
