shipment in a good supply of cracked
ice, breasts up, with paratiin paper he.
tween each layer Of ice and squads.
Some express companies have special
rate for SQUAD shipments, which should
be secured wherever possible. The ex-
press charges on small shipments Of
squads reduce the profit materially,
making 1t difficult to sell the squads
from small flock ut a profit If they
have to be shipped to commission men.
As the period ut which SQUAD IL
right for market IS not over one week,
It Is necessary to have good sized
dock to have over one dozen squads
ready for market Mt one time. A local
market which will take any number Of
squads is great aid to the small pro-
Queer. Where one has q small flock it
usually pays best to build 1t UP until II
Is large enough to make good sized
shipments of squads. This. however.
requires a constant outlay without any
return for some time.
The production of squads from each
pair of breeders varies from one or two
to as high as ten or eleven pairs year,
but an average Of from six to seven
pairs is fair estimate, although some
squad breeders do better than this
Squads usually sell at the highest
prices during cold weather, as pigeons
do not breed as freely during the Will
ter as during the spring.
Those thinking of going into pigeon
raising must remember that the higher
prices are obtained by those fully ex-
perfenced In raising and who have
built up steady market for their
product.
