Of pets, I have a few pigeons which
my father gave me. They are i'm
ported Maltese Hen pigeons. My
father has several, he being a breeder
as we'll as a dealer. The hen pigeons
are about the size and looks Of a
Bantam chicken. They weigh two and
half to three pounds to pair, and
cost from $500 to $500 per pair.
There are SQUAD plants up North
having from 100 pairs to 10000 pairs,
all housed i'll, and fifteen men to care
for them all the time, besides extra
men to pick. Every Tuesday and
Friday they ship them to New York
