MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



ANY OLD PLACE FIXED OVER. 



Results which are really surprising may be accomplished in quarters such as these, with good birds. (See tlie 

 letter from the North Carolina man printed below.) 



NO BIRDS ON EXHIBITION AT THIS NORTH CAROLINA FAIR COULD TOUCH HIS 

 PLYMOUTH ROCKS. I received from you April 2, 1908. 13 pairs of Extra Plymouth Rock 

 Hom.ers. ^ I have raised 60 birds, have sold 12 squabs and have lost 23, and I think that is doing 

 well for six months' work. They have bred at the rate of four pairs per month. Some are slow, 

 others are very fast indeed, and I have lost about IS eggs on account of not having enough nest 

 bowls, but have since put in more and will soon have to build. My house is of my own con- 

 struction, very rough indeed, but I think answers the purpose very well, but in the future 

 will build according to your plans except without the passageway. 



The birds I received from you and those I have raised and mated are indeed hard to beat. I 

 have not seen any here that can touch them, in fact, none on exhibition at the fair here held 

 October 13 to 16, could touch mine. The squabs at killing age weigh about three-quarters of a 

 pound each. Have sold only one dozen squabs to people who are sick at $2.50 per dozen. I 

 have fed whole com, cracked com, Kaffir com, Canada peas, a little red wheat and a little 

 green clover, cabbage cut very fine, and some rice and hemp seed about three times a week. 

 Cannot say that I have followed your Manual in every detail. Please ship at once the enclosed 

 order for feed. My birds are doing exceedingly fine and I am in hopes of being able to keep them 

 so. I am well pleased with the squab business and intend to go into it for a living. — ^J. A. P., 

 North Carolina. 



A WOMAN WHO GETS HER PRICE FOR 

 SQUABS ALL THE YEAR. The people who 

 have eaten my squabs say they are delicious, 

 plump, and so much better than the market 

 ones. I am getting $4.80 a dozen for them. 

 That is my price no matter what they are in 

 the market. They weigh over three-quarters 

 of a pound each. — Mrs. E. G. A,, New Jersey. 



LOST ONLY ONE BREEDING PIGEON IN 

 THREE YEARS. I have had my Plymouth 

 Rock pigeons three years in July and have had 

 splendid luck, having lost only one banded 



pigeon by death, and one flew away. I have 

 studied the Manual and got lots of help from 

 it. I only wish I had more room to keep 

 more birds. — M. H., New Jersey.
