STORIES OF SUCCESS 
15. SUNFLOWER SEEDS. 
13, BARLEY. 14. OATS. 
No. 13 is barley, which may be fed if plentiful and cheap. No. 14 is oats, whjch may be fed if plentiful and 
cheap, but they are not generally fed here in the East because the squab raiser gets more for his money in other 
grains. No. 15 is sunflower seeds Sunflower seeds grow freely without attention almost everywhere. The 
heads when dried may be thrown directly into the squab pen and the birds will peck the seeds out of the heads. 
Sunflower seeds sell at retail for from six to eight cents a pound, sometimes more. Nearly every drug store sells 
them for parrot feed. The supply comes mostly from the West, although a great deal is exported from Copen- 
hagen, Denmark. To buy sunflower seeds and feed them to pigeons is not profitable for the squab raiser, because. 
hempseed sells for less money, namely five cents a pound, and hempseed is better than sunflower seeds for the birds.
