This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to the profitable business of raising squabs, the young of pigeons. Written in 1902, it predates the modern industrialization of poultry farming, and offers a glimpse into an era when squab raising was a burgeoning cottage industry, attracting those seeking a simpler life and reliable income. The author, a seasoned breeder, dispels the myth that squabs are simply a hobby for the wealthy, demonstrating that anyone with a little land and a strong work ethic can turn a profit. The book delves into the practicalities of constructing economical squab houses, choosing the right breeds, feeding and caring for the birds, and finally, marketing the plump squabs to eager consumers. The book highlights the simplicity of squab raising, emphasizing that a small flock can be easily managed while providing a steady source of income, appealing to those who desire a less demanding lifestyle than traditional agriculture. The authorââ â¢s insights on the economics and practicalities of squab breeding offer a unique perspective on a little-known industry, one that continues to be relevant today in a world that is increasingly focused on self-sufficiency and sustainable agriculture.
