STORIES OF SUCCESS WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 
PLEASED, AND ORDERS MORE SUP- 
PLIks. I herewith enclose $2.46 in express 
money order for which send me by Adams 
Express two drinking fountains and one dozen 
-wood fibre nest-bowls. The birds which I 
received from you last fall are doing fine. I 
am well pleased with them.—A, E, B., Penn- 
sylvania. 
SQUABS ARE HEAVY. I write you enclos- 
ing $1.50, for which please send me your 
Manual and one dollar’s worth of thé best 
kind of leg bands for pigeons. I have about 
four hundred pigeons. The stock came 
directly from the Plymouth Rock Squab Com- 
pany by Mr. Hulet. He sold out and went 
East and I bought his entire stock. They are 
fine. The squabs get like stones. When 
people ask me about my stock I tell them they 
are from the Plymouth Rock Squab Company. 
Am I right? If I am not, tell me and I will 
quit it—J. A. M., State of Washington. 
SIX WEEKS’ WORK. In taking account 
of stock today I find I have sixty-eight nests 
containing sixty-two squabs, the oldest just 
two weeks old, and fifty-six eggs. Do you 
consider this a fair showing for the one hun- 
dred and thirty-seven pairs of birds I received 
from you about six weeks ago? One female 
bird died. I wish to thank you for the extra 
birds sent along to cover this emergency.— 
E. E. T., New Jersey. 
Answer: Yes, we consider this a fair showing 
for six weeks. Do not believe any stories ycu 
hear or see printed that the dealer or writer 
can sell pigeons which will go to work at_once 
as soon as they reach their new home. Some 
may and some may not, but this is a-matter 
which is settled by the pigeons themselves, 
and anybody attempting to control the mat- 
ter is a pretender. 
PLEASED WITH SECOND ORDER. The 
second order of pigeons came in good shape 
and the crate will be sent back today. We 
are very much pleased with the birds.—G. P. 
W., Connecticut, 
SMALL SHIPMENT DOES WELL; 
ACCORDINGLY ORDERS 300 PAIRS OF 
EXTRA PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS. 
The pigeons you shipped me arrived in good 
condition with one exception, that is, one 
bird seems a little inactive or dumpy. Will 
advise you later if the bird does not pick up. 
(Later); Herewith please find check for 
$67.17 for which you will send me by ig 
at once the following bird supplies: Six 
hundred and twenty-four wood fibre bowls, 
thirty bath pans, nine drinking fountains, 
one spraver. You may expect. an order 
from me July 15 for the three hundred Extra 
Homers as per yours of May 15.—J. R., Ohio. 
HANDSOMEST LOT OF PIGEONS THIS 
PENNSYLVANIA BREEDER HAS EVER 
SEEN. My tlock consists of in the neighbor- 
hood of one hundred and fifty pairs, and in- 
cludes twenty-four pairs of the best Homers, 
which I purchased of you in August, 1902 
for $60. The balance of the flock is bred 
from these birds, and they are the handsomest 
lot of pigeons I have ever seen.—C. L., Penn- 
sylvania. 
A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL RAIL 
JOURNEY TO NORTHWEST TERRITORY, 
CANADA. The thirteen pairs of Homers 
and one dozen nesting bowls you shipped 
May 27 arrived in condition June 2, being 
six days en route. They have a good home 
and I wil send you another order soon. The 
barrel of freight shipped May 16 has not ar- 
tived yet. Thank you for prompt and court- 
eous treatment,—E, L. B., Northwest Ter- 
ritory, Canada, 
WHITE WHEAT AND RED WHEAT. 
Would it be all right to feed my birds white 
wheat? I have much trouble getting red 
wheat. I wish you would tell me, as I do 
not wish to run any chances, as. my birds are 
doing fine. I have twelve youngsters. The 
first hatch is pe again, also the sécond 
and third hatch. If I would run any risk 
in feedinz white wheat let me know.—W. 
G. S., Michigan. 
Answer: White wheat is all right, and is 
fed by most of our customers. If there is 
any tendency to looseness caused by feeding 
white wheat instead of red wheat use it spar- 
ingly, or feed rice to offset, 
CUSTOMER OF THREE YEARS’ 
STANDING HAS RAISED THEM RAP- 
IDLY. The original birds which I bought of 
you nearly three years ago have increased so 
tapidly that it has been quite a task to care 
for them and to dispose of the squabs. I 
have always spoken a good word for the busi- 
ness and your company in particular, and 
without dou t have made business for you. 
—H. C., Michigan. . 
HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF HIS 
FRIENDS. The five pigeons you sent to 
replace the four I returned and the one that 
died were received today in good conuition, 
and I take pleasure in reporting that they 
are entirely satisfactory, unless one shuuld 
prove to be a cock; but even if that is the 
case I shall enter no complaint, as you have 
been so entirely fair. Iam very much pleased 
with the birds and expect good results from 
them. Mv f-iends who were not pleased 
with the first lot I ordered and received some 
white Homers from a dealer in your State, 
but are far from pleased with them. They 
now think that I have the advantage of them, 
and have been well treated by you. I shall
