...and.*. 



Hive-Opener 



A Lron^-Felt IVant Supplied. 



After using one you will wonder how 

 you ever got on without one. It has one 

 Hat-pointed handle for starting covers or 

 frames, and wide strong jaws that just fit 

 the spaces between the frames. Grip them 

 firmly and raise them with no slipping or 

 jarring. The frame can then be handled 

 with one hand easier than you used to 

 handle it with both, leaving one hand free. 

 If your dealer can't supply you, send $L25 

 ( P. O. money-order) and I will send you 

 one postpaid anywhere in United States.

NEW BOOK 



JUST ISSUED 



SQUABS 



FOR PROFIT 



By William E. Rice and William E. Cox 



This is the most complete and exhaustive work 

 of the kind ever published on squab raising It 

 is not a book of second-hand references, but con 

 tains the hard-earned experiences of the authors 

 Every detail of their methods of selecting, breed- 

 ing, feeding, killing, and niaikeling scjuabs is 

 given in plain, simple language, with niimerous 

 illustrations, all taken from the home plant i f 

 Mr. Rice in New Jersey. The chapter on build- 

 ings, their location, and how to construct them 

 is concise, specific, and cr.mpli'le. 



The squab industry is inereaiing rapidly. This 

 hook is a guiile for those who want to knov%', 

 and a stanlard reference work for the old-tin e 

 breeder. It is not ba>ed on mere theory, but 

 contains the true story of the most successful 

 squab plant in this coilntry. The story of how 

 S.50, the original investment, has grown to $3,0(0. 

 is fully given by Mr. Rice. He took the money 

 ma(le by the squabs, enlarged and developed Lis 

 plant, until it is now complete. 



The illustrations are simply superb. They v.-ere 

 taken especially for this work. The plants and 

 specifications for buildings, etc., are as complpte 

 as an expert architect could make them. The 

 book contains aliout 150 pages, each 5x7 inches, 

 printed on fine paper. • Bound in cloth and sent 

 postpaid for 50 cents.
