MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



190B 



TWO CUSTOMERS WHICH HAVE BRED 

 LARGE FLOCKS FROM SMALL BEGIN- 

 NINGS. Mr. Bartholemew of this place has 

 about 250 birds which he has bred from six 

 pairs of No. I Plymouth Rock Homers which 

 he says he got of you. I notice the difEerence 

 between the Extra and No. 1 Homers. Mrs. 

 Virkler has about 150 birds of Extra Plymouth 

 Rock Homers bred from six pairs. — C. W. B,, 

 New York. 



EATING Fr.OM HIS HAND. 

 The California man who owns these pigeons writes: 

 "They are beauties and breed fine squabs. I have 

 bred squabs from yoxur Homers weighing a pound 

 apiece. Your Manual is straight and true." 



RECOMMENDED VERY HIGHLY BY A 

 LOUISIANA FRIEND. Enclosed you will 

 find a money order for whit:h you will please 

 send me by express six pairs Plymouth Rock 

 Homers No. 1 mated. I trust you will make 

 me a good selection, as I am expecting to 

 raise pigeons and wish the best. You have 

 been recommended very highly to me by Mr. 

 Joseph Malbrough, as he has ordered the 

 Plymouth Rocks from you. — H. H., Louisiana. 



SQUABS WEIGHING FROM SIXTEEN 

 OUNCES TO NINETEEN OUNCES EACH. 

 OUR STOCK AND OUR SELF-FEEDER 

 GET THIS RESULT IN TEXAS. I bought 

 six pairs of Extra Plymouth Rock Homers 

 from you last November, and I now (May, 

 1907) have 31 in all, and 17 youngsters 

 Four pairs have eggs. Out of the 17 squabs, 

 I lost only one, the death of that being caused 

 by one of the parent birds stepping on one 

 the day he was hatched. My squabs have 

 weighed one pound to a pound and three 

 ounces. 



I have built a pen for my yoimg squabs 

 as you advise to do, and I find that they do 

 very much better. 



The things that I find most necessary are, 

 to have a clean house, w^ater and feed, so I 

 clean my squab house every two weeks, and 

 have clean water and feed always. I use your 

 self-feeder so the pigeons can feed their young 

 whenever they choose. 



The ground of my flypens is covered with 

 sand, and I renew it every month. I also 

 use oyster grit and rock. It is placed in the 

 squab-house, where they can get it any time 

 they want it. I feed wheat and kaffir com 

 and a little cracked com now and then, but 

 they do not need much com as the weather 

 here in Texas is warm nearly all the 5'ear 

 around. 



I think your Homers are the best I ever 

 saw, and every one that sees them says the 

 same thing about them. 



Any one starting into squab raising should 

 buy your Manual. I have been trying to 

 follow it as nearly as possible and by doing 

 so I think I will succeed in raising squabs. 



I intend to order more pigeons of you at 

 once. — F. 8., Texas. 



SUCCESSFUL BREEDING BY THE 

 SISTERS OF A CHICAGO CATHOLIC 

 HOSPITAL. Please send us 36 pairs (Janu- 

 uary, 1907) the same as you did the four pairs 

 a short while ago. Kindly send the very best 

 breed only. — Sister M. ]\I., Illinois. 



Note. In September, 1907, we shipped 36 

 pairs more Extra Plymouth Rock Homers to 

 the above customer, who is the sister superior 

 of a well-known hospital in Chicago. 



NEW JERSEY FRIENDS SATISFIED. 



Enclosed please find check to cover order for 

 24 pairs Extra Plymouth Rock Homers and 

 supply of feed. We know your dealings have 

 been square with friends of ours in New 

 Jersey. We have plenty of ground here and 

 everything going right. Will soon have the 

 other houses finished up, — G. M,, Massa- 

 chusetts. 



INCREASED FIVE-FOLD IN SIX 



MONTHS. Regarding the ten pairs of birds 

 I bought from you last spring, I now (Novem- 

 ber, 1907), have 52 pairs.— C. V., Ontario.
