pROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
Raising squads for Market IL P1eas-
ant Occupation aad One That
Pays Well.

As an industry, squab raising re-
quires less capital and less work in
proportion to the returns than any
other business of similar character,
says the Washington Post. In the
first place, experience has taught
that the common pigeons of the
streets and alleys are not only the
healthiest and best brooders, but
that they also produce the best
squads, young birds that are easily
fattened and that are strong and
hardy. The high priced and fancy
breeds of pigeons, such as pouters,
tumblers, fantails, duchesses, Ant
werps, Dragons, runts, silver dubs,
etc, do not compare with the scrub
pigeon for the purposes OF SQUAD
production, so that at the outset the
person contemplating entering the
business is relieved of the necessity
of spending large sum of money for
fancy birds.
As for n place in which to breed
pigeons an extensive structure IS
not a necessity nor is it even desir'
able, the only requisites being that
the structure should be warm in
winter and not too hot in summer,
free from dampness and, if possible
with n southern exposures; also, that
II should be free from rats and
mice. For this purpose nothing is
better than an empty garre', wei
provided with light and the floor
covered with gravel or cinders. Al
cracks should be made tight in or
der to prevent drafts in winter time
This last condition is much to be de
sired if SQUADS are to be raised II
the winter season, which is the time
when they are dearest, and conse
ouently, bring the best prices.
The most interesting and import
ant part of the business Is at TIT
time the young are hatched out. Tn
like chickens and turkeys, the feed
ing of the young pigeons is attend
ed to by the parent birds, thus saV
ing the person engaged N squa,
raising great deal of trouble whicl
in chicken raising must be ATTENDED
to. 1t seems that the pigeon ha
never reached that stage of Thorough
domestication where the young bird
have to be fed artifcially, but, lik
the wild birds of the forest, the pig
con is one of the few domestic fowl
that attend to the feeding of thei
Young with what SQUAD raisers ca
soft food" or pigeons milk unit
they are old enough to shift 10
themselves. Thus the troublesom
part of the work of chicken raisin
is absent in pigeon culture.
The young birds begin to eat graz
in about week after they ar
Matched, and then it is that tn
souab raiser should see to it tina
they are kept stuffed with grain an
never hungry. The parent birds ca
not be depended on to look after tn
welfare of their progeny after tn
soft food" period has passed. The
have a curious habit of stufling one an
starving the other, fighting the star
ed bird off and feeding its share
the favorite.
