THIS NEW JERSEY BREEDER RECEIVES $ A DOZEN FOR HIS SQUABS AND THE DEMAND IS SO GREAT THAT HE CANNOT FILL HIS ORDERS, SO BUYS MORE BIRDS In sending my second order (January, 1907J for your Extra mated birds, I wnuldilike to put in a few words in regard to tlie birds I received from you in 1904. My birds have done finely. I sent to Boston S30 for 12 pairs. The birds arrived in the finest sbape that was ever seen in this part of New Jersey.

The advertisement brought me so many orders that I didn't know what to do. The demand for squabs is so great that I get $ per dozen. My squabs average nine to 12 pouids to the
