MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



FLYING PEN OF A BARN. 

 This New Jersey breeder's story is on this page. At the top of the next page one of the ladies of his household 

 is shown holding a nest bowl in which are three squabs from one hatch, two days old. 



LOST ONLY ONE OLD BIRD AND THREE SQUABS IN FIVE MONTHS' BREEDING. I 



have had, I think, remarkable success with the birds so far, and thought possibly you would 

 be pleased to hear it. The loss of one bird in the first lot shipped has been Toy entire mis- 

 fortune, with the exception of three squabs, which I think the parent birds neglected. -I have 

 in the neighborhood now (August, 1908) of about 200 birds. Kind regards to your Mr. Rice. 



For breeding my flock, I have used about half my stable and have not been troubled with 

 either mice or rats, as I built another floor over the old one, raising the same about 18 inches, 

 and do not think that there is any way for the rats to get at the birds; besides I have three 

 cats that spend part of each day under the floors. You will see from the pictures that I have 

 five units. They measure 10 by 12, with a three-foot passage in the centre. Watering, but 

 not feeding, is done from this passage. 



You are very welcome indeed to use my name, and you cannot write a letter too strong for 

 me to endorse, referring to the treatment, etc., received at your hands, also the quality of the 

 birds delivered me and the results obtained from them. — J. W. H., New Jersey. 



HIGH-PRICED MARKET IN SARATOGA 

 SPRINGS, NEW YORK. I like the National 

 Standard Squab Book very well, as it plainly 

 but fully tells everything necessary to know 

 in the squab business and it becomes very 

 useful to the pigeon fancier. There are 

 boarding houses here in Saratoga Springs 

 that pay $6 a dozen for squabs from common 

 pigeons, for I have sold them. — C. N. G., 

 New York. 



SQUAB BUSINESS IN MONTANA IS ALL 

 RIGHT. Please^ find enclosed ten cents in 

 stamps, for which mail me one copy of your 



flans and specifications for squab house, 

 am building new and larjger quarters in the 

 cotmtry and wish to build right. Seven of the 

 Homers _ I obtained from you escaped from 

 my pen in town, five returned. I have raised 

 some beauties from my original stock. The 

 squab business is all right. — R. C, Montana.
