SMALL OPENINGS UNDER THE WINDOWS. 



This photograph of the plant of a Pennsylvania breeder, shows small openings from which boards extend to the 

 ground. In winter weather or at any time when it is not desired to open the closed windows, this small opening 

 in each pen can be used. Some breeders have a rope and pulley attached to the slide of such an openinp, manage 

 the opening and closing by pulling on the rope from the passageway, and do not have to enter the squab house. 



OLD TWO-ROOM COTTAGE CONVERTED INTO A SQUAB HOUSE. BEST BIRDS IN 

 15 YEARS* EXPERIENCE. After having so many letters from you, reading your Manual 

 and then looking at your photo, I really feel that I am well acquainted with you, I received 

 your last letter several days ago and would have written you sooner, but for a rush in business. 

 I am highly pleased with all the birds purchased from you and especially the last shipment you 

 made me. Those birds are the very handsomest I have ever seen and have been admired by 

 every one that has seen them. They are getting down to work now. My house and pen cost 

 me very little and yet I have almost-an ideal home for my birds. Away back in my garden I have 

 an old two-room cottage with gable roof covered with shingles. This I have turned into a home 

 for my birds. The rooms are about 10 by 10 and eight feet high, or maybe a little larger. One 

 of them I have almost filled with nest boxes (as you make them) and the other I keep for feed, 

 etc. My pen is 24 feet long, 12 feet wide and about 18 feet high, taking in one side of the roof. 

 In your Manual you do not recommend using the roof, but I have gone against you in this 

 one thing and am allowing mine to enjoy the roof. I do not use poles of any kind in my pen. I 

 have three running boards all the way around and find that much better thanthe poles. The 

 floor of the flying pen is covered with good coarse sand taken from an island in the river here 

 and I feed them as you direct in your Manual. 



I have raised birds for the last 15 years, but have never had such success as I am now having. 

 I keep them more for pleasure than anything else, but of course later on will begin selling 

 off a few. Dr. Robinson tells me that he is meeting with success also. He has asked me several 

 times to go down and see his birds, but I live way out of town and hardly ever stop around 

 his place. Anything I can do for you in the way of directing a customer to you I will gladly 

 do. As I have written you before, it is a pleastue to do business with you. Dr. Robinson made 

 the same remark to me several days ago. F. E. M., Virginia.
