Nests should not be placed directly on the
floor If possible 10 avoid IL. No provision
should be made for perches within the
house.
THE house completed provision for the
proper exercise of the birds is the next con-
sideration. This is Secured by erecting a
wire netting cage or fly connecting with
each of the sections in the house by means
of small opening The ground should be
as level possible and the cage should
give ample room for flying easily. The
birds allowed 10 pass from the house
to the fly by means of a small door I'm each
section of the house TO the corresponding
section in the fly. Slides should cover
these doors so they can be operated easily
when combining the birds either TO the house
or to the fly.
ITO beginners who desire 10 start with
twenty-five pairs or less temporary struc-
lures can be improviseG.
THE best variety Of pigeon for SQUAD
raising is the straight Homer They are
large and healthy and good workers. They
are good feeders and are of quiet dispose
ton when properly mated and their eggs
are seldom infertile. The Dragon is con-
sidered an excellent bird by some breeders.
but most OF them give first place TO the
Homer. A cross between the two generally
gives good results. and this is oftentimes
done because some breeders think the
straight Homer costs too much. In select
ing stock, however, the beginner should
consult an experienced breeder. A very
important detail in squad raising Is the
proper mating of the birds. Care must ba
taken not 10 inbreed Under no circum-
stances should nest mates be allowed to
breed. If they should mate they should be
separated until a new mate is chosen by
each. Nest mates can be told II they are
properly marked when squads. When de-
string TO increase the stock IL is always
best 10 get "A few pairs Of mated birds from
some other breeder.
Though the houses may be. well con-
structed and the birds we'll selected. no sue
cess will be had unless the birds are proper
" fed and cared for. While IL is true that
some breeders have had some success for
a while i'm feeding cracked corn and wheat.
long-continued feeding in those two staples
alone have been shown 10 have ar an effect.
In their free state pigeons can select va
riety OF food. and this should be remen-
bered when they are in confinement. Regu-
larity in the time OF feeding should be
strictly observed and a generous supply OF
fresh clean water should always be at hand
for drinking purposes
Now TO summarize: AZ will pay 10 have a
good house. thoroughly clean and white
washed on the inside, with plenty OF good.
clean food regularly. plenty Of fresh. clean
water for drinking purposes. water for bath
ing and good fly for exercise. II will be a

What did you do after the battle of Ma

II was on the Baltimore as quarter
master from June, 1898. to March, 1899. all
during the blockade; was transferred TO
the Olympia as Admiral Dewey's coxswain
in March 80. and ran his private steam

STORY TOLD IN LETTERS.
Mr. White was not disposed to talk of
his work on this occasion. but in a letter
written to his mother in the previous
March which the Journal reporter was
permitted to see, he describes his handling
of this gun.
THE captain said he writes d" let
White try two shots out of the eight-inch.'
The ship was going about eight miles
hour when l shot, and the target was 2.7OO
yards away. Both OF my shots were hits, so
the chief boatswain has one of the eight
inch guns and / have the other one on the
fo'castle-twelve men on each gun-so that

am to have my whack at it,"
He writes further:

In another letter, written May 3, 1898,
two days after the battle of Manila. he
tells in detail the story of the fight in so far
he saw ii and was a part of. IL is the
familiar story, with an added personal
touch.

pia let go her bow eight-inch, and we let
go with our bow eight-inch, and then the
ball was going full force. They had nine
ships and six big guns on shore. We
steamed up TO within 1000 yards and then
turned ard went right along for about n
mile. with the fleets giving each other
broadsides, and then turned and steamed
back and fought broadside back to where
we started and started back the third time.
when one Spanish ship was seen to be going
down and one more was seen to be on fire.
