WISCONSIN HOTEL PAYING $3.50. 
epee WEIGHING TEN AND THREE- 
FOURTHS POUNDS TO THE DOZEN. I 
thought I would write you a few lines. I 
want to buy some more birds from you, 
seeing I'am getting along so nicely with the 
others you sent me. I am getting $3.50 a 
dozen at the Plankaton House. Thev weigh 
ten and three-fourths pounds to the dozen. 
He said they were some of the best squabs 
he had ever seen. He wants me to come 
down some night to have a little talk with 
me. I want to get a basket of birds from 
you in about a week and about three dozen 
of nest bowls and a couple of weeks later, 
some more birds, if everything goes all right. 
I have some fine young birds, some of them 
weighing a pound apiece. I find out that 
you are a nice man to deal with and that 
everything you say is all right and that the 
birds cannot be praised too much. Guess I 
will close, hoping everything is going good.

STEADY GROWTH IN THREE YEARS. 
ORDERS FOR SQUABS OUTRUN BIRDS, 
SO MORE ARE BOUGHT. I am going to 
send soon, before February (1907), probably 
in a week, for 50 pairs of Plymouth Rock 
Homer squab breeders, and want to engage 
ra at once, before the February trade 
egins. a3 
bought of you six pairs three years ago, 
since then 12 pairs, 18 pairs and 12 pairs 
again. (Four orders.) 
I do not yet have enough for the orders. 
The birds are doing better. constantly. Their 
houses are better, and I know more how to 
care for them, and what things are important. 
Have almost finished a house—all but nests 
and a little finishing of yard. It seems as 
if it would be a good plan to get birds now 
before the. really cold weather comes. I 
want the Extras, best you have——M. I., 
Illinois. 
LIVELY WORK IN MISSOURI AND THE 
LARGEST SQUABS EVER SEEN. I am in 
receipt of my six pairs Extra pigeons and am 
very thankful to you for the care you have 
taken in sending these to me. I had them 
just one week when two pairs had eggs, and 
was so surprised, but yesterday I was still 
more surprised when I went into the pigeon 
house and found four pairs setting, and two 
of these had young squabs. Every one of 
my neighbors is surprised to see _the nice 
pigeons you sent me. Mr E. C. Rice, I will 
in every respect_ recommend your goods 
very highly and I am sure that you will 
appreciate it. These squabs are the largest 
that I-have ever seen. I will have one of 
my friends take a snap shot of my pigeon 
house and send you a picture—HE. B., 
Misdouri. : 
MORE ORDERS FOR SQUABS THAN 
HE CAN FILL. HOW TO FEED SUN- 
FLOWER SEEDS. I am thinking about 
planting a batch of sunflower seeds. Will 
you please let me know if this is a good feed 
for them, and how to feed it—either fresh 
from the stalk or pick it and let it dry. It 
would be a great saving to feed this during 
the winter for me. The pigeons bought 
from you are O.K., doing their duty. I have 
more orders for my squabs than I can fill 
and getting 35 to 40 cents apiece. I do not 
do any plucking. My pigeons are doing fine 
considering being locked in all the time.— 
W.S., New York. 
Note. Sunflower seeds are good for pigeons, 
being used largely as a substitute for hemp- 
seed. Cut off the heads when grown and dry 
them. When you wish to feed a head, throw 
it into the pen whole and the pigeons will 
pick out the seeds, 
READY TO KILL 
These renee are four weeks old. See how plump 
and broad-breasted they are. 
FLORIDA FRIENDS ENTHUSIASTIC 
OVER PLYMOUTH ROCKS. I have a friend 
who is very enthusiastic over my pigeons. 
He will send you an order the first of the 
coming week for 48 pairs of your Extra 
Plymouth Rocks such as mine Do your 
best for him. Of course he expects to get 
two extra pairs thrown in as a premium. y 
birds are getting along very nicely. —W. J. D., 
Florida. 
HAS HEARD FROM HIS FRIENDS. I 
have heard from several of my friends about 
your birds, stating they were very fine. 
want to get some of your stock.—S. W. H., 
Kentucky.
