MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 
1908" 
FIVE MONTHS’ WORK. SMALL FLOCK 
JUADRUPLED. ONE OLD B: oO 
OABS ONLY LOST BY DEATH. BREED- 
ERS OF COMMON PIGEONS MYSTIFIED. 
I write you a sort of detailed statement of how 
my four pairs of pigeons have done, that I 
bought from you about the middle of May, 
1907. One of my birds laid in about two 
weeks after her arrival, but the eggs did not 
hatch, and she laid again in about ten days 
after I found her eggs were not good, and 
that time she hatched all right. Two other 
pairs commenced work soon after the first, 
and both of them hatched all right and the 
first tiree pairs of squabs did well. have 
lost one of the hens that I bought from you. 
She died after raising a fine pair of squabs. 
T have lost two squabs. 
T now have 18 birds in all, after deducting 
the three that Ilost. All of my birds are now 
(October) at work, some making nests and 
some sitting. 
Mine are the only Homers in this part of 
the country that I know of, and every one 
who sees them is charmed with them. 
There are one or two parties here who are 
trying to raise the common pigeons on the 
same plan, that is by confining them, but are 
not doing much, and cannot understand 
why my birds do so much better than theirs. 
They say that if I make a success of the 
business they will then try Homers. 
“I am very fond of the business and find it 
a great recreation, and very little trouble. 
I attend to my birds before breakfast in the 
morning and give them plenty of wat«r, and 
then at dinner time I feed them again, and 
that does them until next morning They are 
less trouble than anything of the kind that I 
ever had anything to do with, and I believe 
will be more profitable according to the amount 
of capital invested.—C, A. F., Mississippi. 
SECOND ORDER, BIRDS DOING WELL, 
ANOTHER ORDER IN PROSPECT. I here- 
with enclose you $1 in currency, for which 
please send me 50 open legbands for grown 
pigeons, numbered one to fifty. The last 
shipment of pigeons came to hand on the 
second in good shape, and are a nice lot of 
birds. I am well pleased with them. My 
birds are all doing well. I think that I shall 
give you another order soon.—F. R., Missis- 
sippi. (The first shipment to this customer 
was made in April, 1907, the second in 
October of the same year). 
GREAT DEMAND FOR PLYMOUTH ROCK 
SQUABS IN NEW JERSEY. I received on 
May 27, 1904, one dozen pairs of your birds 
and I have 200 birds at the present time. 
There is a great demand for Plymouth Rock 
squabs in New Jersey. Please send me your 
rice on 50 pairs of your best Extra mated 
irds.—N. L., New Jersey. 
FAST START IN TWO WEEKS IN NEW 
JERSEY. On April 22 I wrote you informin, 
you of the arrival of the birds. Now (April 
29) there are two nests complete and six 
others being built, which I should think was 
pretty good work for birds not yet two weeks 
in a strange place. The birds have been 
highly praised for their fine appearance by 
a number of friends and acquaintances of 
mine, and of course the natural question was, 
where did I get them? And as I am a pretty 
good advertiser for any one that I consider 
to be worthy of such advertising, I. have 
recommended your company as the right one 
to go to if they have any idea of investing.— 
J. FL, New Jersey. 
IN THE SNOW. 
Let them out on. sunny winter days. In cold, 
stormy weather they are better off inside.

PERFECTLY MATED IN WEST VIRGINIA. 
I write to tell you how well my pigeons are 
doing. I am very well pleased with them

not more than a week.—J. N. M., West
