HOW I SELL SQUABS FOR SIX DOLLARS A DOZEN, by Lynn L. James. My intro- duction to squabs came through buying only three pairs of Homers a year ago, or to be mere exact, on February 15, 1908. I was then, and had been for some years, a breeder of high-grade poultry, single comb white, buff and brown leghorns. I had read a good deal about squabs and being over-cautious, per- haps, started with only the three pairs. I bought them at the right place and my experience with them was so encouraging, they did so well, that on July 25, 1908,1 in- vested a hundred dollars in sixty pairs more from the same concern. These have kept on with the good work and this month I am buying fifty pairs more. I certainly have had unbounded success and now have a house of four units more under construction.

I am breed- ing from two hundre
