This special re-print edition of E.H. Rice's "The Robinson Method of Breeding Squabs" from 1901 includes the basics of what a person needs to know about how to raise pigeons for meat purposes. Despite its small size, this book contains a mountain of practical information on how to raise your own steady supply of quality pigeon meat in your own backyard from only a very moderate investment. Included is everything the beginner needs to know about raising pigeons for squabs, including how to house them, how to set your own pigeon loft up, their feeding requirements, how to select breeders and how to process your own squabs. This treasure trove of information is illustrated with period photographs. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
