PLYMOUTH ROCK BLUE BARS AND BLUE CHECKERS. 



BOY IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY 13 YEARS OLD GOT RID OF HIS FLOCK OF COMMON 

 BIRDS AS SOON AS HE SAW PLYMOUTH ROCKS AND WHAT THEY WOULD DO. The 

 nappies ordered of you came on time. My pigeons put them to use as soon as they arrived. 

 I bought six pairs of your Extra Plymouth Rock Hom.er5 in January, 1907. I now (July) have 

 32 large, ftill-breasted birds. Some of the young ones are going to work now. I am, 13 years 

 old and was anxious to do something to malce-a little money while going to school, and saw an 

 advertisement of your Homers and made up my mind to try them. I am more than satisfied 

 with my investment and within the next year I expect to have a very nice little income. 



In your Manual you show a diagram of a seu-feeder, and I had one made which is very 

 satisfactory, as it saves so much work and attention. I can get all the grain recommended 

 by you except the buckwheat and hempseed, and I use red (instead of white) wheat, and my 

 birds are thriving and doing well. 



• I hope to be able to dispose of all I can raise here in my home market, as they are so large 

 and fine. In fact, there is all the diflference in the world between my Homer sqiiabs and the 

 ordinaiy scrub squab, and it will pay any one wanting to go in the business, to get the best to 

 start on. I weighedsome" of my squabs this morning (iust three weeks old) and they average 

 one pound each, or two pounds to the pair. I had a flock of common birds and the squabs 

 were dark skinned and weighed about eight ounces, and when I read of your birds I at once 

 sold out and ordered from you, and I certainly feel that I made a good trade. I expect to 

 order six pairs more soon. Thank you for the promptness and care taken of my orders. —

THREE DOLLARS A DOZEN FOR PLY- 

 MOUTH ROCK SQUABS IN ARKANSAS. 



Please send six more pairs of your Extra 

 Plymouth Rock Homers and one dozen nest- 

 bowls. We are able to get $3 a dozen for 

 our squabs at the hotels here. — ^W. A. T., 

 Arkansas. 



LARGEST EVER SEEN IN ONTARIO. 

 The weather has been very cold here, 30 

 degrees below zero, so I have kept a coal oil 

 stove going most of the time. Your birds 

 have been greatly admired. They are the 

 biggest that have ever been seen here. — 

 G. S. B., Ontario.
