MISSISSIPPI SQUAB HOUSE. 
The house is 14x26 feet and the flying pen 20x26 feet, 11 feet high. There are two slvinirod iron bathpans 
in the flying pen with water piped to each. The drinking fountain is inside the squab 
ouse and is made of six 
one meh T’s put together with nipples, making the whole eight feet long with water running through it all the 
time, and the T's nearly full. This gives them plenty of fresh drinking water all the tame and it cannot be fouled 
by the birds. The house has 76 egg crates for nest boxes and can take forty more when needed. The white line 
seen at tne back of the picture is a much traveled shell roadway and the birds are much admired by passers-by. 
Of course it is not necessary to build a squab house so warm in Mississippi as in the North. 
NINETEEN PAIRS INCREASED IN TWO YEARS TO FIVE HUNDRED BIRDS WITHOUT 
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AND WITHOUT SYSTEM. 
I never had one of your Manuals. I 
merely put the 19 pairs of pigeons I first got from you about two years ago in a house 12 feet 
square and about 9 feet high, with a flying pen 20 feet by 12 feet by 9 feet, and have let them 
be there ever since. 
I have now about 500 birds and a nicer bunch of birds I have never seen. 
They are very much crowded at this time and many of the young are being killed by the push. 
I have now let contract for larger quarters and expect to remate the flock (if such a thing is 
advisable), and have separate pens, thus dividing the flock; and I am very anxious to get all the 
information possible so that 
will maize no more mistakes. 
I enclose 50 cents in stamps for 
the Manual. There are three or four persons in town who have small flacks of pigeons and they 
sell squabs at $1.50 a dozen, but they are small and mixed breeds, and do not have enough to 
supply the wants of the people.

feel that there is a nice income ahead’ of us. 
We have not as yet sold any squabs, but expect to charge at

RAISED A FINE FLOCK FROM A FEW. 
I visited a friend of mine in Erie, Pennsyl- 
vania, last week (August) and he showed 
me a fine flock of pigeons that he has raised 
from 12 he bought from you in_ the. spring. 
Will you kindly send me prices for six pairs 
and 12 pairs, also illustrations and different 
kinds you have.—B. K., Pennsylvania. 
FIVE TIMES BETTER THAN COMMON 
PIGEONS. The three pairs of Plymouth 
Rock Homers are doing as much as the 
pairs of common pigeons I had in the same 
quarters last summer.—G. S., Wisconsin. 
BREED RAPIDLY IN FLORIDA. The birds 
received from you have done extra fine. 
Our stock has more than doubled already. 
Enclosed find check for which send by 
freight 100 pounds of your health grit,.100 
pounds of oyster shells, 100 pounds mixed 
igeon grain, and two dozen rfest bowls.— 
TDC, Florida, 
NO MORTALITY. I have followed your 
Manual’s instructions to the letter and have 
never lost a bird, when once out of the nest, 
and only three squabs, and they were only 
two or three days old.—W. O., New Jersey.
