HIS SMALLEST PLYMOUTH ROCK 

 SQUAB WEIGHS THREE-QUARTERS OF A 

 POUND AT THE AGE OF THREE WEEKS. 



My birds are very tame, so much so that when 

 I go into the coop with hemp seed or other 

 dainties and hold out my hand, they fly right 

 on it and eat. I was weighing my squabs 

 yesterday, and the smallest one I have at 

 present weighs three-quarters of a pound. 

 It was three weeks old yesterday. — G. A. W., 

 New Jersey. 



HOT SELLERS. I want to know if it 

 is too late for me to send for pigeons on that 

 Special Offer. If it is not too late, when I 

 hear from you I will forward the money. 

 I am having good luck with the pigeons I 

 bought of you last year and am selling the 

 squabs as fast as I get them. — T. N., British 

 Columbia. 



WE SELL TO HUNDREDS OF FANCIERS 

 TO BREED FLYERS. Although I am not 

 interested much in squab breeding I am 

 interested in flying, A dealer in my neighbor- 

 hood has a few of your birds and finds them 

 pretty good for Ryins so I intend to try some. — 

 L. S. B., Pennsylvania. 



THREE PAIRS SHOW WHAT THEY 

 ARE GOOD. FOR. Ever since I have had 

 your birds they have bred remarkably well, 

 one pair raising eleven pairs of fine squabs 

 in one year. Not one pair that I bought of 

 you or raised myself has raised less than 

 nine pairs of prime market squabs per year. 

 I think that is a fair record. Besides eating 

 plenty of squabs, I have worked up a flock 

 of 30 pairs of prime breeders from the origi- 

 nal small lot of tlnree pairs. — R. E. F., 

 Michigan, 



GOOD PRICES FOR SQUABS IN PENNSYL- 

 VANIA. Squabs have been quoted at $4 

 to $4.25 per dozen, seven pounds to the dozen, 

 in our papers here. I do not know what mine 

 weigh as I have not weighed any of them, but 

 feel satisfied that they will go more than that 

 as they are large. — ^A. A. R., Pennsylvania. 



EVERY WORD TRUTH. A friend of mine 

 gave me one of your National Standard Squab 

 Books the other day and I have read it throtigh 

 and think it is every word truth, having 

 raised pigeons a long time, but never for 

 the market, so think I know a little about it. — 

 R. H.,Iowa.
