FACTS ABOUT PIGEONS.
How to BE Successful In Raising tho
Feathered Aristocrats.


Feathered Aristocrats.
There are some kinds of aristocracy
in this world which display too much
human nature as far as companionship
or social intercourse is concerne |, but
included among these are certainly not
those charming creations whose robes
are of feather instead of broadcloths or
silks, but whose blood is as blue as the
bluest, and whose pedigrees are as ng
as the longest. Companionship with
pigeons, the feathered aristocrats,
brings one into kind of society that is
very real and makes no pretense of be-
ing other than it is.
TO find the origin of pigeon breeding
one would have to go far back into past
ages. Variety after variety has been
produced. Varieties have been made to
take on many peculiarities of form and
color Doctors lawyers, preachers,
statesmen and men in all other profess
sions and walks of life have been most
eager admirers and breeders of these
feathered beauties. The interest be-
slowed upon the pigeon fancy has been
very great. Fabulous Sums have. been
expended for single specimens of a par
ticular variety, and years have been
spent in mating and breeding these
birds to secure coveted characteristic.
/ The greatness of this work and the sue
cess which has attended it can be well
understood if one makes visit to a
pigeon exhibition and notes the almo st
infinite number of varieties that now
exist, and the very great diversity
among them in color and form.
The beginner in pigeon keeping
should visit one of the many poultry
exhibitions. Here will be seen the tall
and stately ponter, with his enormous
protubcrance of breast, making bal
loon of himself with his curious power
of initiating the air sacs near the lungs.

Jacohins. These are among the easiest
to raise and possess, withal. SO many
points of beauty and of interest that
one would not go astray were he to
choose either, or both, varieties, for two
different classes of pigeons can be kept
in the same loft without any mixing of
the varieties, but more satisfactory re-
suits will be obtained if only one
variety is chosen, at least in the begin
ming.
The fans are so called because of the
enormous spread of their tails which
look for all the world like the tails of
turkey cocks when in the midst Of
their most pompous struttng No
more attractive sight could well be
imagined than collection of white
funtails wheeling through the air and
alighting on The green turf, with heads
drawn back over their bodies, their
tails spread to their fullest extent, ana
uttering the soft cooling notes of which
which only pigeons are capable. With
the fans, us with almost all other
varieties, there are numerous subdivi-
sions differing in color alone. but the
white and yellow colors are most com
monty to be seen. When, however, ono
leaves the white color he can hardly
expect his birds to have perfect uni
fornity of color in their plumagc, as
some will be of q lighter shade than
others, or some other point of color dit
ference may be presented. The white
fans, therefore, being SO beautiful in
themselves, and breeding so true 10
color, are to my mind preferable as 4
choice for a beginner.
The Jacobins have an even more Gu
rious characteristic as to feathcrina
than the fantails. The feathers of th'
neck are long and part in a more o.
less distinct line around the threat, on'
part turning upward and forming {
