FIRST PRIZE ON ONE PAIR, FIRST PRIZE ON COOP OF FOUR PAIRS, COMPETITION 
LIVELY AMONG SEVERAL HUNDRED BIRD. I promised to write you about the birds 
when the Fair was over. I will do so now. (September, 1907.) I took first money on one 
pair, tke speckled wing birds, and first prize ribbon on coop of four pairs. Three of the pairs 
secured from you and one pair from my pen. The judge said that the hen bird was fine, but 
cock not so good. Of course I did not have time to trim them or fix them up for the occasion. 
I had to go up against several Pigeon fanciers but came out with flying colors all the same. We 
had several hundred birds of different kinds at the Fair. I informed several where those birds 
ei ae Lang eae longIhad them. Hoping this will be as satisfactory to you as it is to me.—

would give him your address so he could buy some.—Mrs. B. A., Indiana.

BETTER BIRDS THAN ANY IN THE 
BIG POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW IN 
MONTANA. WANTED SOMEBODY HE 
COULD RELY ON FOR THE GENUINE. I 
am very well pleased with the stock I received 
to-day. They are the finest lot of pigeons I 
ever saw. I received your letter and direc- 
tions this morning and the pigeons this after- 
noon, Thank you for the s promt and careful 
selection you gave me. any thanks for the 
extra pair of pigeons. They seemed glad to

long trip and all perfectly well. I did not

COW PEAS SUBSTITUTED FOR CANADA 
PEAS. I enclose you what they call “ cow 
peas” here to ask you if they are what you 
call “Canada peas.” The pigeons I got of

probably get more March 1.—D. H., Illinois. 
Answer. Cow peas are not Canada peas 
but they are fed largely to pigeons and if they 
are plentiful in your State, feed them. 
know how they wouid get through the snow 
blockade in the Dakotas. Although I have 
seen only one letter from your customers in 
Montana, I think that if I follow your direc- 
tions closely, I can make a success of it. 
There ought to be a good market here and in 
the big poultry and pigeon show there were 
none could stand beside these. The “ National 
Standard Squab Book ” convinced me that I 
wanted somebody I could rely upon for the 
genuine.—M. G. S., Montana.
