WISCONSIN HOTEL PAYING $3.50. 

 SQUABS WEIGHING TEN AND THREE- 

 FOURTHS POUNDS TO THE DOZEN. I 



thought I would write you a few lines. I 

 want to buy some more birds from, you,- 

 seeing I am getting along so nictly with the* 

 others you sent me, I am getting $3.50 a 

 dozen at the Plankaton House. Tney weigh 

 ten and three-fourths pounds to the dozen. 

 He said they were some of the best squabs 

 lie had ever seen. He wants me to come 

 down some night to have a little talk with 

 me. I want to get a basket of birds from 

 you in about a week and about three dozen 

 of nest bowls and a couple of weeks later, 

 some more birds, if everything goes all right. 

 I have some fine young birds, some of them 

 weighing a pound apiece. I find out that 

 you are a nice man to deal with and that 

 everything you say is all right and that the 

 birds cannot be praised Ltoo much. Guess I 

 will close, hoping everything is going good.

STEADY GROWTH IN THREE YEARS. 

 ORDERS FOR SQUABS OUTRUN BIRDS, 

 SO MORE ARE BOUGHT. I am going to 

 send soon, before February (1907), probably 

 in a week, for 50 pairs of Plymouth Rock 

 Homer squab breeders,, and want to engage 

 them at once, before 'the February trade 

 begins. 



I bought of you sjx pairs three years ago, 

 since then 12 pairs, 18 pairs and 12 pairs 

 again. (Four orders.) 



I do not yet have enough for the orders. 

 The birds are doing better, constantly. Their 

 houses are bettery^and I know more how to 

 care for them, and what things are important. 

 Have almost fetched a house — all but nests 

 and a little finishing of yard. It seems as 

 if it would be a good plan to get birds now 

 before the really cold weather comes. I 

 want the Extras, best you have. — ^M. I., 

 Illinois. 



LIVELY WORK IN MISSOURI AND THE 

 LARGEST SQUABS EVER SEEN. I am in 

 receipt of my six pairs Extra pigeons and am 

 very thankful to you for the care you have 

 taken m sending these to me. I had them 

 just one week when two pairs had eggs, and 

 I was so surprised, but yesterday I was still 

 more stirprised when I went into the pigeon 

 house and found four pairs setting, and two 

 of these had young squabs. Every one of 

 my neighbors -is surprised to see the nice 

 pigeons you sent me. Mr E. C. Rice, I will 

 in every respect recommend your goods 

 very highly and I am sure that you will 

 appreciate it. These squabs are the. largest 

 that I have ever seen. I will have one of 

 my friends take a snap shot of my pigeon 

 house and send you a picture. — E. B., 

 Mis^uri. 



MORE ORDERS FOR SQUABS THAN 

 HE CAN FILL. HOW TO FEED SUN- 

 FLOWER SEEDS. I am thinking about 

 planting a batch of sunflower seeds. Will 

 you please let me know if this is a good- feed 

 for them, and how to feed it — eittier fresh 

 from the stalk or pick it and let it dry. It 

 would be a great saving to feed this during 

 the winter for me. The pigeons bought 

 from you are O.K., doing, their duty. I have 

 more orders for my squabs than I can fill 

 and getting 35 to 40 cents apiece. I do not 

 do' any plucldng. My pigeons are doing fine 

 considering being locked in all the time, — ■ 

 W. S., New York. 



Note. Sunflower seeds are good for pigeons, 

 being used largely as a substitute for hemp- 

 seed. Cut off the heads when grown and dry 

 them. When you wish to feed a head, throw 

 it into the pen whole and the pigeons will 

 pick out the seeds. 



READY TO KILL 

 These squabs are four weeks old. See how plump 

 and broad-breasted they are. 



FLORIDA FRIENDS ENTHUSIASTIC 

 OVER PLYMOUTH ROCKS. I have a friend 

 who is very enthusiastic over my pigeons. 

 He will send you an order the first of the 

 coming- week for 48 pairs of your Extra 

 Plymouth Rocks such as mine Do your 

 best for him. Of course he expects to get 

 two extra pairs thrown in as a premium. My 

 birds are getting along very nicely, — W. J. D., 

 Florida. 



HAS HEARD FROM HIS FRIENDS. 1 



have heard from several of niy friends about 

 your birds, stating they were very fine. I 

 want to get some of your stock. — S. W. H..
