22. GRAJ^ITE GKIT. 



24. SAME CRUSHED. 



23. QUARTZ GRIT. 



Here are samples of grits which never should be fed to pigeons. No. 22 is a coarse granite grit. No. 23 is a 

 finer granite or quartz grit. No. 24 is the same material, either granite, quartz or micacrushed fi:ner. All of 

 these poultry grits will do the pigeons more harm than good and are useless expense. Ordinary sand or gravel is 

 better. 



HOW A LOUISIANA SQUAB BREEDER 

 BUYS HIS GRAIN. PRICES FOR SQUABS 

 IN HIS STATE ARE GOOD. I resigned my 

 position with the railroad company and have 

 moved to my home and you will please 

 address me here. I have been very busy 

 getting in shape for my birds and I now have 

 them comfortably located in a nice house 

 14 by 24. They are getting to work nicely 

 and as they are now in their permanent 

 quarters and will not have to be disturbed 

 any more, I expect soon to have a large flock 

 of them. My birds have been moved three 

 times in the last 90 days, but are all in fine 

 condition, which shows they are thrifty and 

 will do well under most any kind of circum- 

 stances. 



I am buying wheat and Kaffir com from 

 Kansas City, Missouri. I get Kaffir com at 

 98 cents per hundredweight f.o.b. Kansas 

 City and wheat at $1 per bushel. The freight 

 rate here is about 70 cents, so KafTir com does 

 not cost me much more than com chops. 

 I pay $1.50 per sack for chops delivered here. 



Every one who sees my Homers says they 

 are the finest they ever saw, I have orders 

 now for about 50 pairs at $1 per pair at 

 weanling age. 



Quotations for squabs this week in my 



markets are $4 a dozen. (This price is offered 

 by commission men.) The hotels and cafes 

 will pay from $1 to $1.50 more. — G. W. T., 



Louisiana. 



FIRST EXPERIMENT, THEN THE REAL 

 THING. The first lot that I bought from 

 you was an experiment, a success. I will 

 enlarge this spring if not sooner. — J, F. C, 

 Wiscousin. 



EIGHT DAYS OLD, "WEIGHT HALF A 



POUND. I had a squab that weighed one- 

 half a pound when it was eight days old from 

 the Homers I got from you a few weeks ago. 

 How is that?— R. B. W., Ohio. 



PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS THE 

 BEST IN THIS NEW JERSEY TOWN. Mine 

 are fine birds, the best in the town, there are 

 none like them. — L. K., New Jersey. 



TEXAS WOMAN'S WORK. Something 

 more than a year ago I purchased six pairs of 

 pigeons from you. I have quite a flock now, 

 having been successful. — Mrs. R. E. B., Texas. 



RAPID PROGRESS IN ELEVEN WEEKS. 

 I bought 12 pairs of No. 1 Plymouth Rock 

 Homers and received them April 11. I now 

 (July 6) have 33 young ones. — E. L. P., Iowa.
