From Farmers Review. IN the
breeding Of pigeons ono must first
choose the variety he thinks win suit
him best. There are many varieties
that are unable to feed their own
young on account Of shape OF bcak,
and for this reason most fanciers pre-
fer a breed Of pigeons that can rear
their own young without keeping what
are called feeders. Pigeon breeding Is
like every other fancy or business
there being plenty of room at the top
and, if one expects to be successful
with pigeons, he must in tho hrsl
place have fancy fer thom and then
be willing to pay a fair price for good
birds, for, as a rule, SO called cheap
birds are not worth feeding. My adj
vice to beginner would be to pur'
chase but one pair of birds, but let
that pair be first class II not show
birds themselves, they must coma
from good stock to be good breeders
or to breed show birds. Birds cant
transmit what they hayo not in them
selves. Purchase your pigeons OF a
breeder with a reputation for honest
dealing and from one that has demon
strated that he knows how to breed
winners. Good birds in any variety
suitable to start q loft with are worth
from $40 to SIS pair This price
may to some at first sight look exorbt
tant, but know from long experience
that If one wishes to become a fancieI
and be successful he must start right
and it can't be done with cheap birds,
l could write much on this subject,
but hope these few lines will influence
some amateur fancier to start right, SC
that he win find 1t a pleasure and o
profit to continue in the fancy .-DN

environment Of the Enn.

Oliver Gibbs: The elder Agassiz
spent the last and best years Of his
life in trying 20 fathom the mystery
Of the egg. He peeled 1t down and
dug down and down and examined all
Its parts with his microscopes, and
kept on peeling and digging down
into the germ and into what was sup
posed to be the protoplasm till he
found himself baffied by something
which seemed to be beyond the reach
of human observation,-a little dot
only perceivable with his glass OF
highest power--and there he rested,
not knowing whether he was any
where near the archaen rock of the
subject or not; and when he quit he
was still at work on the environment
of the egg; for environment is not
that alone which surrounds the ex.
ternal form, but everything surround
ing any part OF the form and furnish
ing Its life conditions.
