MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



INTERIOR OF MASSACHUSETTS CUSTOMER'S HOUSE. 

 Wire netting is used always to separate the units, not board partitions. This breeder has not set nest boxes 

 up against the wire netting, but this is done in almost every case. 



NEVER HAD A SICK BIRD AMONG OURS, BUT BIRDS FROM ANOTHER SOURCE ARE 

 WEAK AND POOR BREEDERS, HANDLED UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. You will 

 probably remember me as having bought two dozen pairs of Plymouth Rock pigeons from you 

 last November. Out of the 25 pairs you sent me, 1 have 20 pairs working. One bird, died, 

 one got away and one cock bird I killed. I thought I would try some one else's birds to see 



what they would do, so I bought two dozen pairs from . I built a new house 



exactly the same as I put your birds in, and have given them the same treatment, but they 

 are not doing as well as your birds. They do not seem strong and vigorous like your birds. 



I would like you to send me 24 pairs of your very best Extra Plymouth Rock Homers. I 

 am not particular as to color so long as the quality is there. 



I have kept the birds I got from the other man in a pen by themselves as I want to give 

 them a fair chance. They may be yoimg birds, as they do not seem to care for their eggs and 

 young as they should do. I give them exactly the same treatment as I give the others, but 

 they do not seem as vigorous as your birds. I have never had a sick bird among yours, since 

 I got them, only the one that died soon after I received them. — J. W., West Virginia. 



NEWS OF OUR SUCCESS CARRIED TO 

 INDIA. Having heard something of your 

 wonderful success in this business from a 

 gentleman from America, I should very much 

 like to hear full particulars. I have some 

 young nephews in California whom I should 

 like to help make a start in some way. — 

 M. C. H., Bombay, India. 



LOST ONLY TWO YOUNG SQUABS. Will 

 you be so kind as to tell me where I can get 

 a good cut of a pair of Homer pigeons? My 

 birds which I bought of you are doing well. 

 I have not lost any but two young squabs 

 before they were grown. They are certainly 

 nice. — L. L. D., Georgia. 



GOOD MATINGS. FOUR NESTS SIX 

 DAYS AFTER REACHING KENTUCKY. 



Homers received in splendid condition on 

 March 8. They are surely a beautiful lot of 

 birds. Am very much pleased with them 

 and hope to duplicate order in a short time. 

 They have built four nests already. (March 14.) 

 —I. P. Y., Kentucky. 



ONE HUNDRED SQUABS A MONTH 

 WEIGHING ELEVEN TO FOURTEEN 

 OUNCES. I have nothing but your Extra 

 stock exclusively and am now turning out 100 

 or more fine squabs weighing H to 14 ounces 

 and over every four weeks. — E. M., South 

 Carolina.
