. The national standard squab book. Pigeons. 1907 MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 1908. PLYMOUTH ROCK BLUE BARS AJ^D BLUE CHECKERS. BOY IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY 13 YEARS OLD GOT RID OF HIS FLOCK OF COMMON BIRDS AS SOON AS HE SAW PLYMOUTH ROCKS AND WHAT THEY WOULD DO. The nappies ordered of you came on time. My pigeons put them to use as soon as they arrived. I bought six pairs of your Extra Plymouth Rock Homers in January, 1907. I now (July) have 32 large, full-breasted birds. Some of the young ones are going to work now. I am 13 years old and was anxious to do something to make a little money while going to school, and saw an advertisement of your Homers and made up my mind to try them. I am more fhan satisfied 'with, my investment and within the next year I expect to have a very nice, little income. In your Manual you show a diagram of a self-feeder, and I had one made which is very satisfactory, as it saves so much work and attention. I can get all the grain recommended by you except the buckwheat and hempseed, and I use red (instead of white) wheat, and my birds are thriving and doing well. I hope to be able to dispose of all I can raise here in my home market, as they are so large and fine. In fact, there is all the difference in the world between my Homer squabs and the ordinary scrub squab, and it will pay any one wanting to go in the business to get the best to start on. I weighed some of my squabs this morning (iust three weeks old) and they average one poimd each^ or two pounds to the pair. I had a flock of common birds and the squabs were dark skinned and weighed about eight otmces, and when I read of your birds I at once sold out and ordered from you, and I certainly feel that I made a good trade. I expect to order six pairs more soon. Thank you for the promptness and care taken of my orders.— L. G., Indian Territory. THREE DOLLARS A DOZEN FOR PLY- HOUTH ROCK SQUABS IN ARKANSAS.
