MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



1. RED WHEAT. 



2. CANADA PEAS. 



3. HEMP8EED. 



On this page and on the pages that follow we print pictures reproduced from direct plintographs of grain 

 used in squab raising; also grit, shells, etc. These pictures liave come out very well and will give our readers 

 scattered over this continent and in other parts of the world a clear idea of what we are talking about. 



In the above pictiu-e (the first of the series) No. 1 is a sample of good red wheat, showing the plumpness of tlie 

 berries. No. 2, Canada peas. No. 3, hempseed. 



RECEIVES TWENTY CENTS EACH FOR 

 SQUABS ALIVE AND FINDS THAT THIS 

 PRICE PAYS. I started in April, 1906, with 

 24 pairs of Plymouth Rock Homers. They 

 got to work in about three weeks. The 

 squabs weigh eight to nine pounds a dozen. 

 I sell the squabs alive at four vi^eeks old for 

 20 cents each. I have not sold any live 

 breeders, but I have had chances and re- 

 ferred them to you. I have fed as your 

 Manual says. I have no trouble with lice. 



I like my birds and think there is money 

 in them, but one has to have a large flock to 

 do much. I intend to keep at it and this 

 sprint? will build me three more pens, as I 

 now have three and I want to get 500 pairs, 

 and will send for more later. Your Manual 

 is all right and very plain in every way. I use 

 egg boxes for nests, tobacco stems and straw.

YES, WE ARE CONVINCED AND THANK 



YOTJ. I bought my first lot of birds from 



rou. Since I have bought elsewhere , but 

 believe you are the most reliable to deal 

 with and this order will confirm my belief 

 and convince another, too. — F. P. S., Mas- 

 sachusetts. 



ENLARGED PLANT AND FLOCK. Seven 

 months ago we bought one dozen pairs of your 

 Extra Plymouth Rock Homers. We now 

 have 78 young. Ten pairs of young have 

 mated and we find them to be larger than their 

 parents. Our squabs at four weeks weigh 

 from 1 2 ounces to 15 ounces apiece. We 

 keep constantly before them, pure fresh water 

 and we feed from a self-feeder made from 

 your pattern, filled with two parts whole 

 com and one part red wheat, then at noon 

 we feed some dainty placed on a flat board 

 with raised edges, alternating between 

 Kaffir com, buckwheat and hemp seed with 

 rice on Sunday. We keep a cash account of 

 everything and find at present prices we are 

 able to keep our birds at the rate of SI per 

 pair per year. We have surveyed a place for a 

 pigeon house of five units to be built on our 

 plan and hope before many months to be 

 doing business on a paying basis. I am 

 fully convinced there is money in it. Your 

 Manual is just fine and cannot be beat as far 

 as I know. It has been the secret of our 

 successful start so far. We have to refer 

 to it very often. We wish you even greater 

 success than in the past. — A. L. H., New 

 York.
