From their first introduction into this country they have steadily gained in public liavor. One reason of their popularity is probably found in their general appearance. The white plumage of the body is re- lieved by the brilliant black markings of the hackle, saddle, wings and tail. This black, when intense in hue (which it should be), makes a sharp contrast with the pure white of the body. They are splendid winter layers, pro- ducing the greatest abundance of fine, large eggs, when other breeds have "goneinto winter ; They are extremely docile, bear confinement well, and are easily enclosed by a very low fence. Our stock is bred low and deep in the bodies, with shorter legs than the average. Pkices : Single cock or cockerel, $ Pair, mated for breeding, $; trio, cock and two hens, $ Eggs for hatching, 6 for $, or $ per clutch of 13 ; $ for LIGHT AND DARK BRAHMAS. DARK BRAHMAS. Very similar to the Light Brahma, being nearly as large and of same form. They are early layers in the winter, hardy, and the chicks mature rapidly. They have very beautiful dark plumage. In the cock, hackle silvery white ; striped with black and white feathers on head ; back almost white ; the saddle feathers white striped with black ; the tail feathers pure black ; the breast is solid black. In the hen the hackle is striped with black ; on the body each feather is closely penciled with dark, steel gray.
