SQUABS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD DRAWN: 
THE COOK IS THE ONE WHO DRAWS 
THEM. The six pairs of Extra ve coe 
Rock Homers have increased to about 60 since 
last May 20, breeding right on all the time, 
just the same now (January, 1907), as last 
summer, all large youngsters, which weigh 
with feet off, head off, entrails removed. 
just over half a pound. Please let me know 
whether commission men weigh them that 
way, or if they leave the feet and head on?— 
P. A. W., Pennsylvania. 
Answer. - Squab dealers always weigh them 
with the head and feet on and undrawn. 
Never draw your squabs before selling them. 
They will not keep so well in the markets, 
and the marketmen do not take them that 
way. The heads, feet and insides are 
removed by the cook. 
THE START. 
In this barn, the customer whose picture is printed 
on this page made his start. It is still in use but the 
greater part of his breeding is done in a long multiple 
unit house nearby.

had some other birds in with them, How- 
ever, the ones got of you are the best and 
largest. One pair especially has raised a pair 
of squabs almost every month. I expect to

WONDERFUL MATINGS. MORE SALES 
PROMISED. I received the 12 pairs of 
birds O. K. in fine shape April 11, 7 p.m., 
1907. They are a nice-looking lot of breeders 
and all you claim them to be, as two of them 
laid eggs while in transit and two more laid 
to-day, April 13, so you see there is some- 
thing doing. The other six pairs are doing 
well, All laid but one pair, and I think they 
are coming along all right. I assure you that 
such fair treatment means a continuation of 
sales with _me and I shall recommend the 
Plymouth Rock Squab Co. to those who are 
buying breeders. ill return baskets to-day.
