HEAD OF SORGHUM SEED. 



This is fed largely to pigeons by our customers in the Southern States. The birds are very fond of it. The 

 berries are brown in color and a little smaller than Kaffir corn. When dried, this head of sorghum cane may be 

 thrown directly into the squab house and the birds will peck the berries off'the stalk. 



AFTER HE HAD TRIED PLYMOUTH 

 ROCK HOMERS HE DISPOSED OF HIS 

 OTHER PIGEONS BOUGHT OF .OTHERS. 



I am sending you a small order for 24 pairs 

 Extra. Please sh^ birds as soon as possible. 

 The birds are doing well I got of you 60 days 

 ago. I have disposed of aU my other pigeons 

 bought of others and only have what birds 

 I bought of you. I intend to keep buying 

 until I get what stock I need. I had a local 

 trade but I let it go, because I would not sell 

 squabs from Plymouth Rock Homers at the 

 same price I sold former squabs. I will have 

 a four to six dozen capacity plant and would 

 ask for the address of some firm in Pittsburg 

 or New York City to whom I could sell a 

 couple of five dozen shipments, just to keep 

 from housing them in my loft. The main 

 point is to get in touch with the market, 

 1 prefer to sell my squabs and buy breeding 

 stock of a mature age, but I do not want to 

 spoil the market or give them away to the 

 local trade for 40 cents a pair. You need not 

 be afraid to give me the name of yoiu" nearest 

 fancy squab buyer. 



My shipjjing boxes are being made of white 

 enamel inside ajid white painted hard wood 

 outside. The white enamel box is to fit 

 in the white wood box, allowing enough room 

 for ice. The boxes are to be returned to me 

 at my expense. I hope you will consider 

 the proposition. Now I have tried many 

 squab companies and if. you people will do 

 anyway right I will buy all the stock I can 

 from you. — R. B., Pennsylvania. 



A WOMAN'S SHORT AND SATISFACTORY 

 MESSAGE. The pigeons I got from you 

 several years ago have been most satisfactory, 



— Josephine S. H., Massachusetts. 



RECEIVING FIFTY-FIVE CENTS A PAIR 

 FOR SQUABS. Our No. 1 Plymouth Rock 

 Homers breed squabs weighing eight pounds 

 to the dozen and we are receiving 55 cents 

 a pair for them. We have found your 

 Manual a great help and have followed it 

 almost entirely, and never pick it up without 

 seeing something that we missed on previous 

 readings. We are feeding from your self- 

 feeder a mixture of whole com, cracked com 

 and wheat, varying the proportion as we 

 notice they scatter one grain or another, 

 but usually about one-third each. Then we 

 throw to them on the floor different mixtures 

 of millet, Kaffir com, Canada peas, hemp 

 seed and rice. On the whole we are well 

 pleased with the birds and the business and 

 we hope to increase our stock as rapidly as 

 possible. — H. J. B., Pennsylvania. 



EVERYTHING TRUE IN MANUAL. I 

 have yoiu: Manual. It is complete and you 

 make no false statements. Everything you 

 say is true, and if anyone is wishing to start, 

 I would advise them to get a hundred pairs; 

 don't start with a few. Our last order was 

 small because we do not know whether we 

 will stay in this town or not, but when we 

 are permanently located we will order a hun- 

 dred or more pairs. — R. M., Iowa. 



BREEDER OF COMMON PIGEONS CON- 

 VERTED BY OBSERVATION OF PLYMOUTH 

 ROCK HOMERS. Enclosed find order for 

 some of your best Extras. Your Manual 

 came a few days ago. It is all that you claim 

 for it. Have had a good deal of experience 

 with common pigeons, but have seen your 

 Plymouth Rock Homers at work and they 

 are " the thing." — R. D., Texas.
