THAT I MAY” GAIN MKANS wherewith to enlarge my library, 
I have decided to publish a pamphlet containing the names and addresses 
of all the prominent fanciers and breeders of the United States. To get 
these correctly cost considerable in money and labor. It will contain 
about 2000 names, and will be the same size as the standard, 4% x 7 in- 
ches. This will be a very profitable advertising medium, for it will be 
daily consulted by fanciers and breeders. I can spare a few pages for 
advertisements, at $10 a full page, less space in proportion. Those who 
do not know me I refer to the editor of this Journal. Send in your adver- 
tisements at once, and give me au order for a copy soon; it will be ready 
by September 9tb, 1874. The price, $1, is very cheap. Please send the

To the Fancy: IIaddonfield, July 13th, 1874. 
Having bought Mr. Jos. M. Wade’s entire stock of imported and home

DABK BBAIIMAS, 
among which are some very fine specimens, we are now ready to receive 
orders for a limited number of trios, to be delivered in the fall; also for 
eggs early in the spring of ’75. Parties desiring first-class stock, will find 
it to their advantage to send orders in early, as we will have but few birds 
to spare this fall, and only a few sittings of eggs in the spiing. Mr. 
Wade’s stock is too well known to need any recommendation. 
Also, breeders of Buif, Black, White, and Partridge 
COCHINS, 
from as good stock as can be bad. Parties desiring to visit the Yards, can 
do so by appointment. Ten trains daily to IIaddonfield.
