WOULD NOT TRADE HIS PLYMOUTH 
ROCKS FOR ANY IN HIS MONTANA 
TOWN. I have had fair luck and in all the 
Homers in town from different companies, I 
would not trade the ones I got from you for 
any of them. Friday noon, April 12, by 
carelessness, some boy friends in going from 
the coop let one of my fine red checkers out, 
which I would not have parted with for $2. 
He rose into the air and after circling once 
flew away faster than I ever saw a pigeon fly 
before. In discussing the matter with some 
eople, they think he will come back, but he 
as not. Others think he has gone back to 
you.—M. S., Montana. 
Note. Letters like the above come to us 
constantly, Guard your doors carefully. 
Have springs on them so they will close with- 
out attention. Homers which you raise you 
can safely let fly, because they know no 
home but yours, but Homers which you buy 
will fly off. 
SQUABS 25 DAYS OLD. 
Note that although they have been in the bowl 
since hatching, it is comparatively free from manure. 
They back up to the edge of the bowl and void into 
the nest box. It is the nature of pigeons to try to 
have clean nests, and they should be given a chance 
by the use of nestbowls. 
NO CONCEPTION OF THE BEAUTY AND 
SIZE OF OUR EXTRAS. I received the 
birds last evening, just 24 hours after my 
order was sent in—prompt work, that. 
After having read your Manual and a great 
many testimonials, I was expecting some 
fine birds, but find I had no conception of the 
beauty and size of your Extras. The compact 
bodies, rich, healthy color and uniformity of 
size were a thorough surprise. I am going to 
follow your directions given in the Manual, 
and you may count on me as a customer to 
the extent of my means.—Mrs. M. F. C., 
Massachusetts. 
PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS IN DEMAND 
IN THIS GEORGIA TOWN. tnclosed find 
my cueck, Send me by express six pairs 
Extra blue-barred Plymouth Rock Homers, 
mated. I have about got this town started 
on raising pigeons. Mr. Barnes, my brother- 
in-law, has just handed me your new circular, 
He tells me he has ordered 12 pairs from you. 
I hope you will ship him some nice birds. 
His son has just bought some birds from the 
————— and I want the birds you ship 
me and his father to make him regret that he 
did not order them from you. I ordered 
blue-barred birds from another pasty some 
time back and they sent me checkers, If 
I did not think you would send the order as 
I am sending it in, I would not send it to you. 
You remember I bought a few pairs of birds 
from you a little over a year ago. I have sold 
a great many birds and I have about 100 to 
125 pairs of working birds on hand now. J 
am building me another pen that will hold 
about 200 pairs.—R. H. N., Georgia.

O. K. and were fine birds, and the hen with 
a little age will also be on top. Please accept

teds. I know this to be a fact. When I do 
go into the show I want to have the best of 
all colors and they shall he Extra Plymouth 
Rock stock.—R. B. W., New York. 
OUR WHITE HOMERS COMPARED 
WITH OUR COLORED HOMERS. I do not 
know of a man I would trust any quicker than 
you. I would like to know if you have pure 
white Homers that are as large, plump birds 
as your colored ones are.—G. L., Vermont. 
Answer. We charge $2.75 a pair for our 
white Homers. They are fine birds, as large 
as any white Homers in existence, but are not 
so large as our Extra colored Homers and do 
not breed so large a squab. They cost more 
because they are scarcer; we sell a lot of them 
for pets, for their handsome plumage, and 
for undertakers. 
PROLIFIC PLYMOUTH ROCKS HAVE 
BRED MORE SQUABS THAN ANY PIGEONS 
HE HAS. I came down to see you quite 
awhile ago and bought a pair of your Plymouth 
Rock Homers. Those Homers have bred 
more squabs than any other pigeons I have, 
and I have a good many. ml you please 
send me your catalogue of prices.—T. C., 
Massachusetts.
