STORIES OF SUCCESS 
1. RED WHEAT. & 
On this page and on the pages that follow we print pictures reproduced from direct photographs of “grain 
used in squab raising; also grit, shells, etc. 
CANADA PEAS. 
3. HEMPSEED. 
These pictures have come out very well and will give our readers 
scattered over this continent and in other parts of the world a clear idea of-what we are talking about. 
In the above picture (the first of the series) No. 1 is a sample of good red wheat, showing the plumpness of the 
berries. No. 2, Canada peas. No. 3, hempseed. 
ENLARGED PLANT AND FLOCK. Seven 
months ago we bought one dozen pairs of your 
Extra Plymouth Rock Homers. We now 
have 78 young. Ten, pairs of young have 
mated and we find them to be larger than their 
arents. Our squabs at four weeks weigh 
om 12 ounces to 15 ounces apiece. e 
keep constantly before them pure fresh water 
and we feed from a self-feeder made from 
your pattern, filled with two parts whole 
corn and one part red wheat, then at noon 
we feed some: dainty placed on a flat board 
with raised edges, alternating between 
Kaffir corn, buckwheat and hemp seed with 
rice on Sunday. We keep a cash account of 
everything and find at present prices we are 
able to keep our birds at the rate of $1 per 
pair per year. Wehave surveyed a place for a 
pigeon house of five units to be built on our 
plan and hope before many months to be 
doing business on a paying basis. I am 
fully convinced there is money in it. Your 
Manual is just fine and cannot be beat as far 
as IL know. It has been_the secret of our 
successful start so_far.. We have to refer 
to it very often. We wish you even greater 
Se than in the past—A. L. H., New 
ork.

RECEIVES TWENTY CENTS EACH FOR 
SQUABS ALIVE AND FINDS THAT THIS 
PRICE PAYS. I started in April, 1906, with 
24 pairs of Plymouth Rock Homers. They 
got to work in about three weeks, The 
squabs weigh eight to nine pounds a dozen. 
I sell the squabs alive at four weeks old for 
20 cents each. I have not sold any live 
breeders, but.I have had chances and re- 
ferred them to you, I have fed as your 
Manual says. I have no trouble with lice. 
I like my birds and think there is money 
in them, but one has to have-a large flock to 
do.much, JI intend to keep at it and this 
spring will, build me three more pens, as I 
now have three and I want to get 500 pairs, 
and will send for more later. our Manual 
is all right and very plain in every way. I use 
egg: boxes for nests, tobacco stems and straw. 
—B. A. L., Connecticut. 
YES, WE ARE CONVINCED AND THANK 
YOU. I bought my first lot of birds from 
you. Since have bought elsewhere, but 
I believe you are the most reliable to deal 
with and this order will confirm my belief 
and convince another, too.—F. P. S., Mas- 
sachusetts.
