Squab Pigeons Carneux Squab Raising is a coming industry. Game is becoming scarce Squabs are a delicacy which are in great demand in high class hotels restaurants, clubs, steamboats, etc., and they command excellent prices, * These pigeons are bred for great size, We imported our^foun- dation stock and got the best and can now supply a limited num­ ber of mated pairs at reasonable prices. The above birds are very prolific and one pair of adult birds will raise as many as ten pair of young in a year. The Squab matures and is ready for market thirty days after being hatched, which means quick returns. Now is the time to get into this business, Anyone who has a loft, vacant chicken house or other building can get into this money making business at small expense. If interested you may see the pigeons at work Saturday afternoons.
