WHAT ONE PAIR OF 

 CARWEAUX PRODUCED. 

 by Mrs. R. M. White. 

 * The first of May, 1908. I 

 bought a pair of Cameaux. 

 In fourteen months I iDred 

 forty from that one pair. 

 I send you two films show- 

 ing me feeding my pigeons. 

 In my story you will notice 

 that I say I fed some of the 

 squabs after taking them 

 away from the parent 

 birds. I did this by chew- 

 ing up soda crackers and 

 then moistening them in 

 my own mouth with 

 malted milk. Then I held 

 the squab to my mouth 

 and fed the bird in the 

 natural way. Any squabs 

 may be readily nourished 

 in this manner. As they 

 grew older, I gave them 

 grain by hand. 



In the upper picture 

 Mrs. White is feeding two 

 squabs in the natural way. 

 In the lower picture she is 

 feeding two squabs out of 

 her hand. Her experience 

 with one pair of Cameaux 

 is quite a jolt to those who 

 are afraid of inbreeding. 

 Starting with only one 

 pair of Cameaux, she has 

 done more in fourteen 

 months than another 

 might with six pairs in the 

 same period , having turned 

 out a good-sized flock of 

 two-score birds. Of course 

 she could have a c c o m- 

 plished nothing without 

 inbreeding. It was all 

 inbreeding , except the 

 young bred by the orig- 

 inal pair. Her flock are 

 fine, large and rugged 

 birds. This is the record 

 of one pair of good Car- 

 neaux in competent hands. 



DELAWARE HOTELS 

 PAYING $4.50 A DOZEN, 

 by N. H. Case. I can sell 

 my foiir-weeks-old squabs 

 faster than I can raise 

 them. There are three large hotels in my 

 nearest town in this State (Delaware) whose 

 proprietors all say they will give me S4.50 a 

 dozen, for as many as I can raise. They want 

 them killed and bled. They offer me this 



Erice for both winter and siimmer. Each 

 otel keeper says he can handle from two to 

 two and one-half dozens a day, so it looks as 

 though there ought to be money_ in them — 

 no expressage and payment on delivery. 



MRS. WHITE AND CARNEAUX. 



I am sure there is a fine opening here for 

 squabs as San Antonio (Texas) is a city of 

 100,000 population and nothing of the kind 

 here. I never have seen anything but 

 common squabs here and very few of them. 

 A friend, Mr. Hobbs, is working in a near- 

 by country town, and he says they are al- 

 ways ringing up from San Antonio asking 

 if they can find any squabs. — J. W. Mann,
