THAT THE WORK IS NOT BEYOND THE PERSON OF AVERAGE ABH^ITY IS PROVED BY THE SUCCESS OF THIS 15-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO HAD NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND NO GUIDE BUT THE MANUAL. Please send me prices on pigeon supplies, also prices on breeding stock, as I have mislaid those that I received from you about a year ago when I purchased pigeons of you. I am only a boy of 15 and must wait until I can earn enough from the ones I have. My Extra Plymouth Rock Homers have done very well. My brother bought six pairs of you and he sold them to me immediately after they began work before winter was half way begun. One pair died, so that left me only five pairs of breeders. I was so interested in these that I forgot about the pair that died. They worked fine until cold weather set in, having averaged a pair of squabs from each pair every seven weeks, but during the cold weather we raised less. Our loft bein^ upstairs, in an old granary, was pretty cold. This spring (1907) they began work m earnest again, laying their eggs again before the squabs were two weeks old. One ycung pair only four months old raised a pair of squabs weighing one and one-half pounds. X have now about seventy-five (75) birds old and young and lots of eggs. We got 50 cents a pair for the squabs we sold, but I did not wish to sell many because I am to raise them for breeders. It certainly pays to buy the Extras, for everybody who sees them says they are splendid, but I believe your Manual is just as necessary tu make it a paying business. I do not see how I could raise them without it. Perhaps I will want some more breeders if I get the building ready this summer.—G. L. G., Wisconsin. ONE SALE LED TO ANOTHER.
