The Barred Plymouth Rocks of the
.Iefferst Poultry Yards.

The Barred Plymouth Rocks are so well
known the world over that it is almost use
less to give them detailed description,
They are found among the breeds of all
fanciers generally, and it is with pride that
we can point to this variety of fowls and
claim it to be pure American breed with
qualities for an all purpose fowl equal to the
best. They are vigorous, noted for hardi-
ness of constitution. Young chicks grow
rapidly and are ready for market at very
early age. When matured they are large,
ranking next in size to the Asiatics; they
have clean legs, beautiful blue barred plum
age, are first-cass layers; good mothers, but
not inveterate settlers. An excellent table
fowl. This breed is undoubtedly one of the
most profitable breeds in existence, and IS
acknowledged the farmers fowl. As to mar
ket quality, we need not call your attention,
as the name Barred Plymouth Rock is all
that is necessary. Their reputation as an
| American breed is established and will re-
main the peer in poultry circles. We have
! been breeding Barred Plymouth Rocks ex-
ciusively for eight years. and our hens this
year are mated with male birds from one OF
the best known prize winning yards in
America. We can furnish eggs for Matching
from select matings. We have also 81,
cockrels unsold. Yards open to visitors
every day in the week except Sunday. Fol
