My birds bought of you several years ago are doiug splendidly and paying me amply for the care and cost given them. I have found your National Squab Book of the f-eatest practical value. I like the business better than anything I ever tried.* Being deaf, found it especially hard to get hold of a business I could manage myself, but in s^uabraising one is not thrown so much in contact with the world and one is able to feel independent. I began last fall and had several months of discoiu-agement at first, failing to find a satisfactory market. As there is a good demand for good birds at all times I succeeded in making a per- manent arrangement with a summer resort, they agreeing to take all I could send at $4 per dozen, and pay express charges, too. My birds generally weigh 10 pounds to the dozen and are fine-looking birds. At four weeks they are hard to tell from the parents. I have only 50 or 60 birds but have just sent off 24 squabs, have 36 in the house and about two dozen eggs. I think that is doing a very brisk business for so small a flock. I have gone for several weeks. Both times they had diarrhoea and were all fearfully thin, what you call " going light," I believe. Occasionally the parents desert the squabs before they are big enough to kill and begin on a new family; but these cases have been rare.—Miss B. R., Virginia.
