. B., Delaware. 
SHIPPED IN EXTRA FINE SHAPE. I 
received from you last evening at 7 o’clock 208 
birds, all alive and so far as I can see in good 
condition. This morning one is choked and 
stupid, but I think will come out all right 
later. I am very grateful for the extra fine 
shape in which you crated, labelled and fitted 
them for their journey. I will send back your 
baskets this date all in fine shape. I have 
received everything else ordered, all in fine 
condition.—J. C., Long Island, New York.

Burrows intends buying birds soon, Mine 
urchased last April are doing nicely.—E. L.

HE IS RECOMMENDING OUR BIRDS. 
Enclosed you will find a money order for 
which please send me wooden nappies. 
would like to have them as soon as possible 
for my birds are beginning to lay. I was over 
to your pigeon pent in Melrose and bought 
a few pairs and I think that they are the real 
stuff. They are doing fine. Please send mea 
pass for two, as I would like to visit your plant 
again, and I am recommending your birds.— 
A. L. R., Massachusetts. : : 
STARTED SMALL AND IS NOW CON- 
VINCED. Please give me your best price on 
100 pairs, giving an estimate of the weight 
and express charges on same. My birds are 
doing finely. All young birds are larger than 
the parent birds and workers. : 
Michigan. 
THE CHILDREN ARE BETTER THAN 
THEIR PARENTS. I have forty-eight birds 
raised from three pairs I bought of you, far 
ahead in looks and activity of those you 
sent me.—Mrs. C. L. P., Connecticut. 
HAS RAISED SQUABS TEN YEARS. I 
have received your Manual and it is beyond 
my expectations. I have raised squabs for 
about ten years from common pigeons.—J. H. 
M., Pennsylvania. : 
EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS. My husband 
is going into the business. He bought some 
Homers of you last summer and intends buying 
more,—Mrs. G. W. P., Massachusetts. 
THEY GROW UP IN INDIANA ALL RIGHT 
I now (December 1, 1903) have over eighty 
Homers from the eight pairs I purchased from 
you last spring. They are all in the very best 
of condition.—R. T. M., Indiana.

IN FINE SHAPE ALL THE WAY TO 
OREGON. I write you to acknowledge the 
receipt of the birds. They arrived on the 
morning of November 18 and were turned into 
their new quarters on the 19th, and I guess 
they were very glad to get out of the baskets 
and stretch their wings which they did in great 
shape and a number of them took a bath as 
soon as it was presented to them. They all 
seem to be in fine condition after their long 
journey.—H. J. T., Oregon. 
GOOD RESULTS IN SIX WEEKS. By 
actual count I find we have the following 
results today, six weeks after the arrival of the 
pigeons: Forty-two pairs of squabs and sixty- 
seven pairs of eggs in the process of being 
hatched.—I. B., New Jersey. 
VERIFIED STATEMENTS AS TO COST 
OF FEED. My little experience justifies 
the statement of your book as to cost of 
feed. If you will answer my query as to 
capacity of my house I shall greatly appre- 
ciate the courtesy.—F. B. S., Oregon. 
COMMON PIGEONS DO NOT PAY FOR 
KEEP. I have studied squabs for two years 
and have had good luck with them. I have 
read your book and think it is good. If i. 
had a price list I would get some Homers. 
I have always had good luck, but common 
pigeons do not pay for the keeping.—H. K., 
Michigan. : 
~AN ALABAMA BOY PLEASED. The 
birds arrived safely on the 24th and in good 
condition, ‘We think they are a very. nice 
lot of birds. As I am a boy of only fifteen 
years, I expect to follow your advice given 
in your magazines, and would appreciate 
any further advice you could: offer me. As 
I have a little more money on hand, I may 
order some more birds soon. Thank you 
for your prompt delivery.—W. L., Alabama. 
THREE HUNDRED BIRDS RAISED IN 
LESS THAN ONE YEAR FROM THIRTY- 
SIX PAIRS. Our birds shipped by you 
February 12, 1903 (thirty-six pairs), have 
done very well. We have now Mpntiers: 12, 
1904), over three hundred and they are lay- 
ing and hatching all the time. We are going

ness with you. Please give us the name

Indiana.
