TWO CUSTOMERS WHICH HAVE BRED 
‘LARGE FLOCKS FROM SMALL BEGIN- 
NINGS. Mr. Bartholemew of this place has 
about 250 birds which he has bred from six 
airs of No. 1 Plymouth Rock Homers which 
Re says he got of you. I notice the difference 
‘between the Extra and No. 1 Homers. Mrs. 
Virkler has about 150 birds of Extra Plymouth 
‘Rock Homers bred from six pairs.—C. W. B., 
New York. 
_ EATING FROM HIS HAND. 
The California man who owns these pigeons writes: 
“They are beauties and breed fine squabs. I have 
bred squabs from your Homers weighing 2 pound 
apiece. Your Manual is straight and true,” 
RECOMMENDED VERY HIGHLY BY A 
LOUISIANA FRIEND. Enclosed you will 
find a money order for which you will please 
send me by express six pairs Plymouth Rock 
Homers No.'1 mated. I trust you will make 
me a good selection, as I am expecting to 
raise pigeons and wish the best. You have 
‘been recommended very highly to me by Mr. 
oseph Malbrough, as he has ordered . the 
lymouth Rocks from you.—H. H., Louisiana. 
SQUABS WEIGHING FROM SIXTEEN 
OUNCES TO NINETEEN OUNCES EACH. 
OUR STOCK AND OUR _SELF-FEEDER 
GET THIS RESULT IN TEXAS. I bought 
six pairs of Extra Plymouth Rock Homers 
from you last November, and I now (May, 
1907) have 31 in all, and 17 youngsters. 
Four pairs have eggs. Out of the 17 squabs, 
I lost only one, the death of that being caused” 
by one of the parent birds stepping on one 
the day he was hatched. My squabs have 
weighed one pound to a pound and three 
ounces. 
I have built a pen for my young squabs 
as you advise to do, and I find that they do 
very much hetter. 
The things that I find most necessary are, 
to have a clean house, water and feed, so I 
clean my. squab house every two weeks, and 
have clean water and feed always. I use your 
self-feeder so the pigeons can feed their young 
whenever they choose. 
The ground of my flypens is covered with 
sand, and I renew it every month. I also 
use oyster grit and rock. It is placed in the 
squab-house, where they can get it any time 
they want it. I feed wheat and kaffir corn 
and a little cracked corn now and then, but 
they do not need much corn as the weather 
here in Texas is warm nearly all the year 
around, ea a Se Soh 
I think your Homers are the best I ever 
saw, and every one that sees them says the 
same thing about them. ar 
Any one starting into squab raising should 
buy your Manual. I have been trying to 
follow it as nearly as possible-and by doing 
so I think I will succeed in raising squabs, 
I intend to order more. pigeons of you at 
once.—F. §., Texas. z

SISTERS OF A CHICAGO CATHOLIC
