SHOWING CONSTRUCTION IN FLORIDA. 
This building, part of the plant of a Florida customer, is built of only one thickness of lumber. Only the roof 
is shingled. No glass windows are needed, The climate of the South is exceptionally good for squab breeding. 
SUCCESSFUL FLORIDA SQUAB FARMER SAYS THE CLIMATE OF HIS STATE CANNOT 
BE BEAT. LIKES THE C EAUX. The Carneaux arrived here yesterday. I am much 
pee with them. They show more white than the birds which my mother sent me from 
‘rance and are larger. The more I see of the Carneaux, the more I like them, and wish I had 
nothing: but them in my squab farm. I believe there is going to be a tremendous run on them 
as breeders. 
My Homers are mated and all hard at work. I was fool enough last spring of 1906 to band 
the mated -birds of that season with colored bands, blue for cocks, red for hens. The bands 
bought from —————, who ranteed that they would last a lifetime. I note at least one- 
third have broken and come off. I shall have to reband 300 pairs over again. No more colored 
bands for me. : 
Enclosed find check, for which send as specified. You will be glad to hear that I am making 
a success of the squab business, and now have 700 mated pairs. As soon as the fall commences 
and the price of eight to nine pound squabs advances from its present low standing here, I am 
thinking of starting to ship to the New York markets. In this Southern climate our birds 
work better and faster, produce far better grade of squabs in the winter and spring months 
than_in the summer; while I understand with you the summer is your best time. I believe 
our Florida climate cannot be beat for squab farming. 
If T like and find out that the Carneau is all it is cracked up to be, 50 per cent of my Homers 
will be replaced gradually by them.—W. B. W., Florida.
