Value Of Carrier ri cons.

The best carrier pigeons are
worth several hundred dollars in
the market, and some cannot be
purchased at any price. During
the annual pigeon show in New
York last year $2oo and even 5000
was refused by the owners 70,
some of their choicest pets. The
average exhibits were valued al
SIS and $50. Prices, however, do
not stand in the way of the pig
con fancier of today, for excel
lent ho,ning pigeons can be par
chased for S. and less. One can
start a loft with half a dozen
breeders, and within a few sea-
sons have all the birds desired.
