very much known throughout
the Southland West. In spite Of
the fact that like all of the Medi-
terranean breeds it is in many
ways particularly suited to the
Southern climate.
If you will allow me the space,
Mr.. Editor, / should like to say
something Of the place this Blue
Andalusian occupies as a utility
and fancy fowl.
In size it occupies a middle po-
sition among the Meditsrrane-
ans, larger than the Leghorns
and smaller than the Minorca.
In good condition it is a respect
able table fowl, it has not the
fancy points required by the
broiler men, &c, but if properly
raised and conditioned it will
| please you about as well when
cooked, as the greatest number
Of breeds, and for the ordinary
trade (and that is what most
people depend on) it will hold its
own according to size with any
of them. 1t is bird which ma
lures early, is hardy and easily
raised, it begins to lay quite
early and from that time on, if
properly cared for, will keep i.
up winter and summer without
ANY more trouble. 1t is practi-
caily nonsitter like the other
! Mediterraneans. It has no SUI
perior as an egg producer-t the
| eggs being large and pure white.
They will stand confinement
well, as they are not either ner-
vous or Eighty, but where they
have range they are good for.
ayers and will pick up every.
thing that time and range
affords. To have said, without
more description that from q
utility point, they are pure Medi
terraneans might have beer
enough, and still, if we were tC
compare them closely with the
other breeds of this class, VIZ
should see they have an indiyid
= uality of their own, which is t,
say the least quite favorable, blu
comparisons are not Away
/ pleasant, and interested parties
soon find out these particular
when desired.
AS a fancier's fowl, it has ha,
one advantage, that is, it ha
rarely been bred by anythin,
but true fanciers, and for thi
reason all good strains are re
: liable; the culls going wher
they belong. Among fancieri
there are different tastes, som,
holding to one breed and Others
to many classes and breeds; how
ever, there is a Fundamental
principle which holds gooc
among all chicken lovers, tina
any breed that is to hold its owl
must be strong in utility point
, as well as in ornament, Long be
fore most of us have become fan
ciers, we had grounded into II
the idea that chickens were TIL
source of eggs, and of broiled
boiled and roast chicken, other
I wise we might in our enthusiasm

! terraneans are so we'll know
t that the mind naturally thinks 0
them in connection with tn
word chicken, and whether W
are fanciers in other direction
or not, their type has it's plac
absolutely and permanently es

white pigeons come flying down
out of the sky, apparently in
obedience to the command or sig
nal. On they came like a band
Of light; then, when near the
tower, suddenly turned and,
sweeping around, alihted all
about the man, who turned, with
speaking countenance and flash
ing eyes, to the stranger. The
holder of the flag was pigeon
flier of Modena, and soon a re-
markable exhibition was given of
his power over the birds.
After the latter had rested a
few moments, their owner again
raised his flag, and the observer
now saw that several towers in
the vicinity we're similarly oc-
cupied. It was, in fact, a field
day for the famous pigeon-Aiers
of Modena. The moment the
flag was raised the flock of white
pigeons sprang into the air, ris
ing higher and higher in grace
full turns; now disappearing; now
flashing out into the sunlight as
though some one had scattered a
handful of newly minted silver
coins into the air. Having
reached a certain height, a mo-
ton of the flag caused them to
wheel and sweep along the sky
in a given direction with wonder
tul grace and regularity of mo-
ton, until another motion of the
flag caused them to change their
/ course.
The stranger observed that
the other pigeon-hiers were now
waving their flags, indicating
the direction to be taken by the
birds Of their respective focks.
The focks were of different col
ors-some pure white, others
mottled, and others again blue,
the com bination of colors pre-
senting a most effective contrast
and grouping against the sky.
A regular programme was evil
IDENTIFY being carried out, and the
various groups of pigeons we're
going through an Introductory
salute-crossing each other,
plunging down from great
heights; others moving around
IN great circles, presenting q
series of aerial evolutions be
wildering to the eye.
The control the fagman hac
over the birds was little les.
than marvellous. If flock wa.
sweeping down like a group O.
meetors, a motion from a flag in
the hands of the owner would
suddenly arrest the flight, the
birds rising as suddenly as
though stopped by wall, taking
the new direction indicated by
the flag.
The pigeon-fliers of Modens
may well be said to have pro
duced an art and are known as
Triganeri, while the pigeons are
called Triganica. Modena has
always been famed for its pig
cons, and less than a century
ago there were at least one hun
dred well-trained focks, which
were constant delight to the
people, and to strangers who
travelled long distances to wit
ness the remarkable sight of
thousands ofbirds going through
seemingly, marvellous evolu.
tious at the commands of their
owners, who simply waved diff
ferent colored flags. At the
present day few, if any, we'll
trained flocks are to be seen, but
in the last century the individu-
al bands we're formed all over
the land, and there was great
rivalry between the several own
ers. Two methods of guiding
or signaling the birds were EN-

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
militia In the state IL In Excel
lent Condition

Chicago, Ill, Feb. l7.-Unanimous
support is given by prominent Off
GERS OF the national guard in ILL
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and
Indiana to the bill recently intro
duced in congress for increasing the
efficiency of the militia. The citi-
zen-soldiers say the bill, il il be-
comes law, is bound To improve the
service, at the same time placing at
the command Of the federal govern
ment reserve force capable OF
meeting all emergencies.
In Michigan Adt. Gen. Brown
speaks the sentiments of the state
militia as follows: "The present con
dition of the Michigan national guard
Is quite satisfactory, the entire com
mand being fully armed and
equipped the same as the regular
army, with the exception that the
state has thus far received only 800
krag-Jorgensen rifles, the remainder
of the troops being armed with the
Lee-RemingtOn magazine rifle. There
are now more than 5000 men i'm the
40 companies constituting the ma
tional guard. In addition to this
there is the state naval brigade COM
posed OF four companies in excellent
condition. Last winter the legiSla-
ture Of Michigan enacted a new law
which repealed all the old military
statutes and placed the national
guard on the same footing as the
regular army. At present new set
Of rules and regulations is being
framed that will conform with the
new statute. This state law is as
near perfect as il is possible 10 get
il, and places the state in position
10 act in conformity with any fed
eral law that is likely to be enacted. !"
