WHAT ONE PAIR OF 

 CARWEAUX PRODUCED, 

 by Mrs. R. M. White. 

 The first of May, 1908. I 

 bought a pair of Cameaux. 

 In fourteen months I bred 

 forty from that one pair. 

 I send you two films show- 

 ing me feeding my pigeons. 

 ^Jn ipy story you will notice 

 :f^BX X say I fed some of the 

 sqfu^bs after taking them 

 away from the parent 

 birds. I did this by chew- 

 iilg up soda crackers and 

 then moistening them in 

 my own mouth with 

 malted milk. Then I held 

 the squab to my mouth 

 and fed the bird in the 

 natural way. Any squabs 

 may be readily nourished 

 in this manner. As they 

 grew older, I gave them 

 grain by hand. 



In the upper picture 

 Mrs. White is feeding two 

 squabs in the natural way. 

 In the lower picture she is 

 feeding two squabs out of 

 her hand. Her experience 

 with one pair of Cameaux 

 is quite a jolt to those who 

 are afraid of inbreeding. 

 Starting wilJi only on« 

 pair of Cameaux, she has 

 done more in fourteen 

 months than another 

 might with six pairs in the 

 same period, having turned 

 out a good-sized flock of 

 two-Score birds. Of coiurse 

 ^e febuid have accom- 

 p^shSd nothing without 

 inbreeding. It was all 

 ihbr^diifg^, except the 

 i^bimS' l^d by the orig- 

 ""iflal pair.p Her flock are 

 fine, lar^e and rugged 

 Birds. " This is the record 

 of one pair of good Car- 

 neaux in competent hands. 



DELAWARE HOTELS 

 PAYING $4^0 A DOZEN, 

 bir' N. 'H. Case. I can sell 



-tnf four- weeks-old squabs 

 faster ' thant:! I can raise 

 thfem. " There are three large hotels in my 

 nearest 'town. in this State (Delaware) whose 

 proprietors all say they will give me $4.50 a 

 So2en, for astmany as I can raise. They want 

 them killed vrand hied. They offer me this 

 price fplrj both winter and summer. Each 

 hotel Ireeper says he can handle from two to 



'^o and on6rhalf dozens a day, so it looks as 

 though there ought to be money_ in them — 

 noexpressage' and payment on delivery. 



MUS. WHITE AND CARNEAUX. 



I am sure there is a fine opening here for 

 squabs as San Antonio (Texas) is a city of 

 100,000 population and nothing of the kind 

 here. I never have seen anything but 

 common squabs here and very few of them. 

 A friend, Mr. Hobbs, is workiag in a near- 

 by country town, and he says they are al- 

 ways ringing up from San Antonio asking 

 if they can find any squabs. — J. W. ]JIann,
