TWO YOUNG WOMEN TOO BUSY MAKING MONEY WITH SQUABS AND CHICKENS TO WRITE A LONG LETTER. Please excuse our delay in writing you as we are busy most every minute of the day raising chickens for our winter layers, and they cause more work than the pigeons, but we thought the two were a good combination, as we can sell everything we can raise. There is a great demand here for squabs, and ours are fine, if I do say it myself. We are very much pleased with the last lot you sent. They are beauties. All our birds are good workers. Sometime in the near future we will write and give you a little of our experience since we have started in the squab business. This time of year is a busy one for us, getting everything going for the winter when prices are the highest. We are having much better success this year than last. Excuse this delay and we will write later.—Miss H. L. A. and Miss E. E. S. FOUR DOLLARS AND EIGHTY CENTS A DOZEN FOR SQUABS IN SPOKANE. INSIST- ENT DEMAND. The market f ^r squabs here (Spokane) is good, and I am getting 40 cents apiece for squabs. The demand is more than the squab raisers can furnish. I thought I would take a sample of your birds, and they surely have proven good.—M. M., State of Washington. CANNOT SUPPLY THE DEMANDS FOR
