MAKING PIGEONS PAY contains "Practical Information on the Management, Selection, Breeding, Feeding and Marketing of Pigeons" for those interested in pursuing the squab raising business. In the author's own words:
"In this work I have tried to set forth ...
the elementary requirements for a
beginning in squab raising. I have also
tried to call attention to those points
which have caused others to fail. Perhaps
I have over-emphasized the things to
avoid, but it seems to me just as important
to know what to avoid as to know what to
do."
