QUALITY CHICKS 
The Secret of Their Success 
lies in the strong, vigorous, healthy stock from which we breed them. 
The parent birds are kept on free farm range with maxium liberty. This 
practically amounts to a reversion to natural conditions, insuring offspring that 
cannot fail to bring unusually profitable results. 
No wonder our chicks live and thrive, maturing early with the pullets getting 
quickly down to the business of producing eggs in a manner that has always sur¬ 
prised as well as pleased our thousands of customers. Repeat orders year after 
year from numerous patrons have built this business from 5,000 annual chick 
capacity to our present 2,000.000 annual production. 
Your favored variety is among them—

Question About Pigeons 
I have five pairs of Carneaux pigeons 
and would like to start a flock. To in¬ 
crease my flock would you advise me to 
save my squabs? Would the squabs 
from them be just as heavy as from the 
old birds? Are there any breeds larger 
than those I have? They weigh 15 oz. 
at four weeks old. Is that the proper 
age to market them? Is there any way 
to pick out an odd, unmated female from 
a flock, her mate having died? J. w. B. 
Homestead, R. I. 
In starting a flock of pigeons you 
should save the squabs and mate un¬ 
related pairs. The squabs should be up 
to average weight after the first one or 
two pairs raised. Four weeks is the 
proper age to market squabs. Not all 
pigeon men are agreed as to the best 
breed. Some prefer the White Homer, 
while others select the Red Carneaux, the 
Runts or Kings. The White German 
Runts are the largest pigeons I ever saw. 
The only way I know to pick out un¬ 
mated birds is to watch your flock and 
you can usually find the birds which are 
not working. c. s. greene. 
Sturdy enough 
to go farming 
Vigorous youngsters, these 
Lively Chicks. As robust 
as their farm-raised moth¬ 
ers. By heading our lay¬ 
ing flock with sires from 
heavy producing strains 
we breed chicks with 
strong constitutions and 
inborn ability to lay 
heavily. 
It is cheaper to buy Lively 
Chicks than to hatch your 
own. They arrive just 
when you want them, in 
exactly the number you 
would like to start. No 
risk; no trouble. We guar¬ 
antee 100 per cent deliv¬ 
ery, alive and healthy.
