MAKING PIGEONS PAY

   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."

As co-founder of the Palmetto Pigeon Plant, Levi had ample opportunity to explore not only pigeon culture, but also the economics of the business of raising pigeons for food.  He shares his expertise and wisdom in this book.
