KNOWS BY EXPERIENCE THERE IS 
MONEY IN PIGEONS. MANUAL “ AWFUL 
GOOD.” I trust you will pardon my tardi- 
ness in answering your letter with reference « 
to the new National Standard Squab Book. 
Of course I want this book. I do not send 
for these books through any idle curiosity. 
I have kept pigeons and I know there is mone: 
in them if they are properly looked after. y 
want to get back in the pigeon business after 
the first of the year, and intend to do so, and 
I want to start with the best birds I can get. 
I think the National Standard Squab Book 
very fine. It is “awful good.” More 
pase and satisfaction than I can express. 
on’t know of any improvements you could 
make, unless you went ahead and said the 
same thing over again. I enclose 20 cents in 
stamps for your new 1907-1908 Manual. 
I also send by this mail, under separate 
cover, the old Manual. . 
I intended to purchase some of your birds 
when I sent for your book, but conditions 
have been such that it has been impossible, 
Can’t say exactly when, but will buy some of 
your birds soon. 
The main reason I haven’t bought some of 
your birds is because I haven’t had any 
place to keep them. I have kept pigeons all 
my life, know a great deal about their habits, 
and above all, Iam very fond of them. How- 
ever, I had to dispose of all the birds I had 
about 18 months ago, and since that time 
I haven't had the room to keep them. I 
had to dispose of them on account of having 
to leave Atlanta. My lease on my present 
home runs out about January 10, 1908, at 
which time I expect to buy me a place with 
large premises, where I can keep pigeons, as 
I made a good deal of money on then during 
my school days, and believe I can do so now 
as a side line if nothing more,—M, R. L. 
Georgia, : 
PLEASED WITH YOUR BUSINESS 
METHODS AND BUYING STEADILY. I 
have never seen a more likely lot of pigeons, 
and as I have room enough for another 10 
pairs, I enclose P. O. order and I hope that 
before the next batch arrives I shall be ready 
for fifty more pairs. _am_ very much 
pleased with the manner in which the Ply- 
mouth Rock Squab Co. does business.— 
R. W. J., Virginia. 
MAKING THEM PAY AS HE GOES ALONG. 
I now have seventy. One year ago last 
March I bought six pairs from you. I want 
a better start before I sell very many, but I 
make them pay for their feed. Your Manual 
is ‘the goods.”’—D. E., Illinois, 
HIS HOMERS LOOK LIKE PYGMIES 
ALONGSIDE PLYMOUTH ROCK EXTRAS. 
I have 60 Homers, but they look like pygmies 
alongside of your birds.—F. W. D. 
OUR HOMERS MORE THAN WE CLAIM 
FOR THEM. Your Homers are more than 
ou claim for them. At least mine are. 
hey are models of beauty and are very large. 
I was skeptical at first, but I am thoroughly 
convinced that the Homer is the only bird. 
Some of my Homers are as large as the white 
Italian birds that I purchased from you. 
The squabs are fine large fellows and I am 
sure that a nice flock of Homers beats a drove 
of chickens for meat, either for home or 
market use. I shall take pleasure in recom- 
mending your birds to my friends and 
prospective buyers. Please find enclosed 50 
cents for another Manual.—M. A., Kansas, 
HOMER HEN SITTING ON EGGS. 
PIGEONS CRAVE GREEN FOOD. I 
bought of you June 20, 1906, 24 pairs of your 
Homers. I have lost three birds, all of my 
raising, and now have 100 pairs (April, 1907). 
They all seem to crave something green to 
eat. What would you advise? Shail I feed 
them any green foods? I am giving them 
kaffir corn. a few peas, wheat and cracked 
corn.—F. M. P., Georgia. 
Answer. Yes, throw some lettuce or any 
green leaves on to the squab-house floor 
occasionally, say twice a week, and let them 
peck away at them to suit themselves. 
WISHES TO GET PIGEONS OF SUPERIOR 
UALITY. You may hear from a gentleman, 
r John Fyle. Send him some of yorr 
literature, as I will always recommend your 
stock to all who expect to go into the squab 
‘usiness. This Mr. Fyle has pigeons, but o 
an inferior quality, and having been_ tol 
about mine, wants some like I have.—R. S., 
Maryland.
