THIS NEW JERSEY BREEDER RECEIVES $4.50 A DOZEN FOR HIS SQUABS AND THE 
DEMAND IS SO GREAT THAT HE CANNOT FILL HIS ORDERS, SO BUYS MORE BIRDS. 
In sending my second order (January, 1907) for your Extra mated birds, I wouldjlike to put in 
a few words in regard to tne birds I received from you in 1904. My birds have done finciy. 
I sent to Boston $30 fur 12 pairs. The birds arrived in the finest shape that was ever seen in 
this part of New Jersey. I reccived the birds in May, 1904, and had eight pairs cf squabs in 
July. I then went to Work and kept all the squabs for a short time until they got six to seven 
months old, then I went to mating them the way you show in your Manual. I now in January, 
1907, have 200 birds which is only one-fourth of the birds I raised, but the demand for squabs 
was so great that I could not get the chance to save any for breeding. That is the reason why 
I send an order for 50 pairs of your best birds. 
My house is 12 feet wide and 26 feet long with a hall three feet wide, one window on the 
north side and three windows on the south side, with 200 nests. My ficst house was 12 feet 
by 12 feet, but I found out that when handling Plymouth Rock Homers it does not take long 
for tiem to make money for a larger house, and tu get a start in a business of our own. 
I would like to tell you that I put one advertisement in a paper of our town some time ago, 
not to sell my squabs for I had more orders than I could fill, but to let my friends know that 
I meant that there was money in handling your birds. The advertisement brought me so 
many orders that I didn’t know what to do. 
The demand for squabs is so great that I get $4.50 per dozen. My squabs average nine to 
12 pounds to the dozen. : : 
Tam going to build house No. 3 this spring and then I will need more of your fine birds. 
I would like to tell you a few words in regard to the Manual. It is the finest I have ever read 
for the reason you show how to run a successful squab business. 
I use the self-feeder which you show in your Manual. I always find the feed clean and dry, 
which is the main part of the feeding part. I feed cracked corn, red wheat, Canada peas and 
hempseed. The feed bill will not exceed 85 cents a year per breeding pair. I can ficure on 
‘nine pairs of squabs per vear at 75 cents per pair, which leaves me a net profit of $5.20 per 
year for each pair of breeders. é : ; ; 
T am perfectly satisfied with the results obtained from your birds and wish you continued 
success.—A. N., New Jersey. 
VALUES HIS BIRDS AT FIVE DOLLARS USUAL STORY FROM IOWA. The birds 
A PAIR. I would not sell my birds for five received _from_you last winter ate doing 
dollars a pair now.—C. E., New Jersey. finely.—E. R. W., Iowa.
