Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. We know of one gentleman who works eight hours a day and manages a flock of over 200 pairs. He informed us that last year he cleared over and explained to us how he did it on so small a lot. Said he I first started with thirty pairs and sold all my squabs and the money left after the feed bill was de ducted I invested in breeders until my flock reached two hundred and twenty pairs. I marked carefully those who hatched regularly and removed those who did not. I finally had left two hundred pairs. These birds I fed according to your directions and averaged nine pairs of squabs for every pair last year. I had some losses such as squabs dying now and then, and sometimes a pair only hatched one. I watched a pair of this kind and if the performance was repeated I removed then and in serted a pair that would hatch two. Now of course this took some little time and trouble, and I now believe my flock will produce with any other in the States.
