MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 
HEAD OF SORGHUM SEED. 
This is fed largely to pigeons by our customers in the Southern States. The birds are very fond of it. The 
berries are brown in color and a little smaller than Kaffir 
corn. 
When dried, this head of sorghum cane may be 
thrown directly into the squab house and the birds will peck the berries off the stalk. 
AFTER HE HAD TRIED PLYMOUTH 
ROCK HOMERS HE DISPOSED OF HIS 
OTHER PIGEONS BOUGHT OF OTHERS. 
I am sending you a small order for 24 pairs 
Extra. Please ship birds as soon as possible. 
The birds are doing well I got of you 60 days 
ago. I have disposed of all my other pigeons 
pought o1 others and only have what birds 
I bovght of you. I intend to keep buying 
until I get what stock I need. I had a local 
trade but I let it go, because I would not sell 
squabs from Plymouth Rock Homers at the 
same price I sold former squabs. I will have 
a four to six dozen capacity plant and would 
ask for the address of some firm in Pittsburg 
or New York City to whom I could sell a 
couple of five dozen shipments, just to keep 
from housing them in my loft. The main 
oint is to get in touch with the market. 
Prefer to sell my squabs and buy breeding 
stock of a mature age, but I do not want to 
spoil the market or give them_away to the 
local trade for 40 cents a pair. You need not 
‘be afraid to give me the name of your nearest 
fancy squab buyer. ; 
My shipping boxes are being made of white 
enamel inside and white painted hard wood 
outside. The white enamel box is to fit 
in the white wood box, allowing enough room 
for ice. The boxes are to be returned to me 
at my expense. I hope you will consider 
the proposition. Now I have tried many 
squab companies and if you people will do 
anyway right I will buy all the stock I can 
from you.—R. B., Pennsylvania. 
A WOMAN’S SHORT AND SATISFACTORY 
MESSAGE. The pigeons I got from you 
several years ag> have been most satisfactory.

RECEIVING FIFTY-FIVE CENTS A PAIR 
FOR SQUABS. Our No. 1 Plymouth Rock 
Homers breed squabs weighing eight pounds 
to the dozen and we_are receiving 55 cents 
a pair for them. We have found your 
Manual a great help and have followed it 
almost entirely, and never pick it up without 
seeing something that we missed on previous 
teadings. _We are feeding from your self- 
feeder a mixture of whole corn, cracked corn 
and wheat, varying the proportion as we 
notice they scatter one grain or another, 
but usually about one-third each. Then we 
throw to them on the floor different mixtures 
of millet, Kaffir_corn, Canada peas, hem: 
seed and rice. On the whole we are we 
pleased with the birds and the business and 
we hope to increase our stock as rapidly as 
possible —H. J. B., Pennsylvania. 
EVERYTHING TRUE IN MANUAL. I 
have your Manual, It is complete and you 
make no false statements. Everything you 
say is true, and if any one is wishing to start, 
I would advise them to get a hundred pairs; 
don’t start with a few. Our last order was 
small because we do not know whether we 
will stay in this town or not, but when we 
are permanently located we will order a hun- 
dred or more pairs.—R. M., Iowa, 
BREEDER OF COMMON PIGEONS CON- 
VERTED BY OBSERVATION OF PLYMOUTH 
ROCK HOMERS. Enclosed find order for 
some of your best Extras. Your Manual 
came a few days ago. It is all that you claim 
for it. Have had a good deal of experience 
with common pigeons, but have seen your 
Plymouth Rock Homers at work and they 
are ‘‘ the thing.”—R. D., Texas.
