. The national standard squab book. Pigeons. 1907 MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 1908. SHOWING CONSTRUCTION IN FLORIDA. This building, part of the plant of a Florida customer, is built of onlj; one thickness of lumber. Only the roof is shingled. No glass windows are needed. The climate of the South is exceptionally good for squab breeding. SUCCESSFUL FLORIDA SQUAB FARMER SAYS THE CLIMATE OF HIS STATE CANNOT BE BEAT. LIKES THE CARNEAUX. The Carneaux arrived here yesterday. I am much fleased with them. They show more v/hite than the birds which my mother sent me from 'ranee and are larger. The more I see of the Carneaux^ the more I like them, and wish I had nothing but them in my squab farm. I believe there is going to be a tremendous run on them as breeders. My Homers are mated and all hard at work. I was fool enough last spring of 1906 to band the mated birds of that season with colored bands, blue for cocks, red for hens. The bands I bought from , who guari'^teed that they would last a lifetime. I note at least one- thirdhave broken and come off. I snail have to reband 300 pairs over again. No more colored bands for me. Enclosed find check, for which send as specified. You will be glad to hear that I am making a success of the squab business* and now have 700 mated pairs. As soon as the fall commences and the price of eight to nine pound squabs advances from its present low standing here, I am thinking of starting to ship to the New York markets. In this Southern climate our birds work better and faster, produce far better grade of squabs in the winter and spring months than in the summer; while I understand with you the summer is yotir best time. I believe otrr Florida climate cannot be beat for squab farming. If I like and find out that the Carneau is all it is cracked up to be, 50 per cent of my Homers will be replaced gradually by them.—W.
