KNOWS WHERE TO GET RELIABLE 
BIRDS. I know where to come for reliable 
birds, having bought my Extra Plymouth 
Rock Homers from you. See enclosed order. 
The Extra Homers I bought of you June 1 
have made a good record. I knew absolutely 
nothinz about pigeons and had never seen a 
first-class bird until I got yours. Have 
depended entirely on your Manual for my 
knowledge.—Mrs. R. O., Indiana. 
MORE THAN DOUBLED. The pigeons 
we bought of you in September are doing 
nicely. They have more than doubled their 
nu:nber and our young stock have commenced 
AN ODD SQUAB HOUSE. 
This shows the small plant of the Massachusetts 
breeder whose letter is printed above and beneath the 
picture. ; 
laying. One pigeon suddenly became lame 
after his arrival here, and after trying to cure 
him we finally killed him. We have dis- 
covered no more lameness in our flock.— 
S. W., Massachusetts. 
SOME WEIGH ONE POUND AT THREE 
WEEKS. My Plymouth Rock Extras are all 
doing nicely and are raising squabs that aver- 
age a pound at four weeks. Some of them will 
weigh a pound at three weeks.—P. E., 
Pennsylvania. 
SET BACK BY POOR WHEAT. I started 
with six pairs. Got along fine until I got 
hold of a lot of poor wheat which made my 
igeons very sick. This happened in the 
atter part of June, '07. I had by this time 
in all 25 or 30 birds, of which only five birds 
survived. I did not buy more pigeons until 
I had my pens remodeled so as to hold more 
birds. Got them fixed up all right and boutht 
17 birds of you, six pairs and five hens. 
They mated in about two weeks, raised about 
seven pairs in October, November nine 
airs, December 10 pairs, January 11 pairs, 
ebruary nine pairs, and I have ten eggs for 
this month. 
I donot feed wheat as you told me not to. 
I cannot get a good grade of wheat so I feed 
all Kaffir corn or a little cracked corn mixed 
with it. 
I have followed your Manual in every way 
and find it an excellent book, as I didnot 
know a thing about pizeons at all. 
They do not pay as good prices here for 
squabs as they do in the North and East 
but they pay well considering the fact that 
people out in this part of the country do not 
know much about good squabs. They have 
been used to breeding the common pigeons’ 
- squabs which weigh about one-half as much as 
the squabs I raise. I had five out of the nest 
the 28th that weighed one and three-quarter 
ea apiece. They are very fine birds. 
‘ort Worth is growing every year very fast. 
We have 7500 people. I ope I will be able 
to convince the hotel people that they are 
worth more than 40 cents to 60 cents a pair. 
My flock is growing every day and I will order 
more birds before long.—J. S. W., Texas. 
KNEW ENOUGH ABOUT PIGEONS TO 
APPRECIATE -THE BOOK. Your squab 
book is the best on that subject I have ever 
read. It covers the ground completely 
and makes everything plain and clear enough 
for a child to understand. number of 
years ago I bred and flew Homers successfully 
for about five years. This experience en- 
abled me to understand and appreciate your 
book better than if I had no knowledge of 
pigeon raising. I will be glad to return 
the old Manual and receive new one. I will 
do so about January first, as I like to look 
into the book now and then and do not wish 
to be without one. 
I note that the Pittsbureh Dispatch is 
quoting squabs at $4.50 to $5.00, seconds at 
$3.70 per dozen.—A. E. C., Pennsylvania, 
WORTH ALL COMBINED. We_ think 
your Manual is the best in its line. We have 
read many books regarding squab breeding, 
but none has given us the satisfaction your 
Manual has. We would not trade your 
Manual for the whole bunch. Your book is 
so clear that a child can understand it,— 
H. & F. B., Ohio.
