should be required to give written guar

The honest grower or dealer canpot, of
course, give information which he does not

fully kept transcript of this can be fur
nfshed If the breeder has a definite plan
or system, including the keeping of RECORDS,
he will be able to give correct answer 10
every inquiry regarding the breeding stock
he is offering for sale.
In some cases where breeders nave maze
serious mistakes in the purchase of breed
ing birds, the only advice which can be
given is to get rid of them all and begin
anew.
To the beginner who has not yet pur-
chased his breeding stock the best advice
that can be given is: If you cannot get full
and satisfactory information concerning
the birds offered for sale together with a
written guarantee that they are mated, do
not buy. a beginner will have much TO
learn even when he starts with good homer
stock, healthy, vigorous and mated, ready
to begin producing. The breeder has to
pay feed bills, whether his birds produce
squads or not, and he must continue paying
them as long as he keeps the birds.
This applies particularly to the raising of
squads for market purposes, but at the
same time it is from this stock where
straight homers are used that the young
birds for flying and racing are secured.
Pigeon flying racing has become quite
a fascinating sport in late years, and per-
sons who indulge in it spend much time
and money in getting the birds into shape.
1t must be understood that homing pigeons
will not fly long distances without proper
training. They must be put into condition
the same as a long-distance runner must
be made fit for his race. For one or two
months preceding a race day the pigeons
receive painstaking attention. They are
dieted and are flown. gradually increasing
the distances, beginning at, say, five miles,
and increasing by five and ten-mile stages

at 80 m. and 3 pm. The best kinds or
feed to use are cracked corn, red wheat,
Kaffir corn, miilet peas. hemp and rice. In
the morning give wheat. cracked corn and
peas in equal parts; in the afternoon give
equal parts of cracked corn, peas, kaftr
corn and millet. The birds should be fed
in the pen rather than in the fly. Water the
birds every morning before feeding, using
nothing except pure. fresh water Always
clean out the fountain before filing
Bathing is very essential 20 the health of
the birds. In summer they should have an
opportunity to battle at least every other
day In winter the bath should be given
only on bright, sunny days. 1t is essential
to clean the house every week. After
cleaning the nests. put powdered carbo-
lated lime in all cracks, corners and damp
places. Sprinkle the floor with lime and
sprinkle q bucket of sand over the lime.
Common causes of chilled eggs and dead
squads are fighting cocks minated birds,
mice in the breeding quarters and lack of
vitality in the breeding stock.
In the purchase of breeding stock the
buyer should endeavOr to secure young,
vigorous mated birds, free from disease and
lice. He should secure all available infor-
nation about the birds offered, and, if pos
sible, a written guarantee.
In buying he should make 1t rule to ask
questions covering every point. He should
endeavor to find out how much the seller
knows about the birds and what he means
by the term mated birds" dealer Will
often buy birds in different parts of the
country and have them shipped to him.
Sometimes he will buy of another dealer.
Hence 1t often happens that the dealer
knows very little about the birds. The
buyer of such birds necessarily has to as
sumo the risk of getting birds that lack vi
tally, are too old, or are minated. For
breeding stock bought under such circum-
stances the price should be sponding-
~ low. The prospective SQUAD raiser who
buys mated birds should get mated birds
or he should not be required to pay the
price for them. The grower or dealer who
sells birds which he represents to be mated

1t will pay to go into the pigeon business
for squads, only provided one gets the right
kind OF stock and gives careful attention
and proper management. One of the best
breeds to use for SQUAD raising, so it is de-
clared, is straight homers or a cross be
tween them and dragons. Successful
breeders use homers almost exclusively. be-
cause they are the best workers and feed
ers and raise larger squads in four weeks
time than any other variety. BY a cross of
straight homcrs and dragons the breeder
gets n larger squad in four weeks time
than with straight dragons. y pair of
straight Dragons requires five weeks to
bring squads TO the market size, but the
cross will result In larger squad which
can be put on the market in little over
four weeks.

on alternate days, or two or three days
week to sixty or more miles. In the case
of young birds the training accentuates the
homing instinct; 1T teaches them to seek
their alive quarters. Old birds are trained
in the same way. In the case of the older
birds the object is to strengthen their mus
cles and insure a longer continuous flight.
Home" to the pigeon is the place where
it was born and reared. 1t never forgets
this place. Instances are recalled where
the birds have been taken away from their
birthplaceS in infancy and kept two years
or more. When released they have return
ed unerringly to their native nest. While
no one has been able to explain it. this fact
Simplifies the method of training. The
young birds are taken, for their first flight,
a short distance from home. The second
flight is longer, and each succeeding flight
increases in length until the greatest dis
lance supposed to be negotiated by the bird
is undertaken.
Mistakes are often made in allotting too
long a flight. If the distance can be COW
cred in a day the pigeons evidently take
little or no rest. The 5oO-mile race is con-
sidered the best for seasoned birds, and 200
or 30O-mile courses for younger birds.
Longer flights considered by many fam
cers to be cruel. The birds, they say,
must rest at intervals, but cannot find
proper food along the route.
Often they must contend with head winds,
and they arrive at their destination eX
hausted. 1t is said that birds that have
flown long distances are never much &C
count thereafter. This, of course may not
apply to pigeons of extra pedigree and
strength.

When homing pigeons in America have
been made ready for race, they are ship
ped by express to the place where they are
to be liberated, whether this Is 100 or 800
miles away. The course of the flight is
usually chosen where high mountains or
broad bodies of water are not to be crossed.
Pigeons cannot fly over mountains very
well-the air at lofty attitudes seems too
rare-nor do they like crossing wide
stretches of water
