4. WOOD SCREWS. 



5. KAFFIR CORN. 



G. SORGHUM CANE SEED. 



In this picture we show in the first group a lot of common wood screws seven-eighths of an inch long. (These 

 are the screws which we furnish with every order for nest bowls, for screwing the bowls to the bottoms of the nest 

 boxes.) Our object in printing the screws is to afford the eye of the reader a measure of comiKirison with these 

 different grains. For example, in the above photograph the sample No. 5 is Kaffir corn. Hy comparing the 

 Kaffir corn with the screws, the eye of the observer forms a rurrect estimate of the size of the Kaffir corn and also 

 the other grains in the other pictures. These photographs show the actual sizes of the objects. The grain in No. 

 6 is sorghum cane seed, full size. A reduced photograph of a head of sorghum cane is shown on page 285. 



pUICELY AT WORK IN MONTANA. I 

 think w^e will send for Special Offer No. 7 and 

 extra supplies this m'>nth. Our birds (100 

 pairs) received May 17, have done very well. 

 Some pairs are setting (August) for the third 

 time. Have a four-unit house in course of 

 construction, part of which we will fill with 

 selected young from our own flock. I have 

 sold about five dozen squabs and it is three 

 months today since the birds were received, 

 and have about 100 young in the squab 

 house, which we expect to keep for breeders. —

 FROM IOWA. I send vou money order for

 ing my squabs to a local cafe and am receiv- 

 ing 50 cents per pair alive. If you think I 

 can do better than that in larger cities, 

 kindly send me the names of some firms who 

 are in the market for heavy squabs, the 

 average weight being 10 pounds to the dozen. 

 Also please send me all your latest circulars.

PRAISE FROM AN OLD BREEDER. 



The Manual is '* non plus ultra,*' without a 

 peer, can't be beat. I read it through twice 

 and still I find something interesting each 

 time I pick it up again. I have raised 

 Belgium Homers since a small boy. — H. T., 

 Pennsylvania. 



ALL WE CLAIMED FOR THEM. If I 

 had the room and money, I would like to buy 

 100 pairs from \''iu, as the No 1 birds I bought 

 from you are all you claimed for them and if 

 the Extras are so much better, they certainly 

 must be fine. — G. R. J., West Virginia.
