CAPT. JOHN R. BARTLETT, retired,
chief of the coast signal service dur.

to the department on the value of
carrier pigeons for signaling purposes.
He urges that experiments be made
for the purpose of training homing
pigeons in connection with coast sig
mailing, for the reason that they offer
a solution of the problem Of commune
cation with vessels in the off.shore
patrol fleet. He calls attention to the
fact that every other maritime nation
has such system, organized and oper-
Rted under its naval or maritime de.

Halter Breaking Colts.

Every colt should be Taught to lead
with halter while still with the dam.
There is less difficulty at this early
age than later. and also less liability
to having the animal injured in its
struggles to get free. The first thing
to do is to make u strong head halter
that can be let out or taken with
buckles so as to exactly fit che head.
Put on the head halter at first with
out any hitching strap, and leave the
colt all day to become used to it, TAX
ing off the halter at night. When the
hitching strap is attached it shonld be
held firmly, for if the colt finds that
it can escape, it will DO slow to un-
learn the habit. It is we'll at first to
lead the colt and it's dam side by side.
When he learns to stand by bitch
ing post without trying to pull away
the breaking to lead may be consid-
cred complete. It takes very little
time when this breaking to the halter
is made while the colt is young. The
handling that this requires is the first
lesson to the animal that it is to be
mans servant. II this is early. im-
pressed the breaking to harness is
made much less difficult.
