Pigeon Breeding Profitable-Raising
SQUADS for the Table.-Breeding pigeons for
table use is an enterprise that Miss Rena Wing
ling, of Reisterstown, has been engaged in for
q little more than year, and she is finding 1t
profitable. A start was made with Is birds,
and there are now 400 on the farm. The num-

ready market has been found for the
squads, one of the best customers being the
proprietor of leading hotel in Baltimore.
In the collection of birds are many varieties.
The pure-bred homer is, however, the favorite,
because he is believed to be the most valuable
bird for breeding purposes. Some of the birds
are imported others are domestic. Many
kinds are desired for larger squads can be Sc
cured often by crossing the breeds.
The value of SQUAD farm depends upon the
frequency with which birds are produced for
the market. A setting of eggs consists oftwo-

when four weeks old. Scarcely is one pair Of

to be most trying on the mother bird were it
not that the male pigeon is thoroughly domes-
tic in all his tastes. Every day from 10 clock
in the morning until in the afternoon he re.
ports at the nest to relieve the mother bird
that is engaged in Matching the eggs. The
time he reports for duty will hardly vary. q
minute during the year. His nights he de-
mands of, but as his frolic consists simply in
going to roost there is never disruption ofthe
ideal matrimonial relations existing between
the birds.
The male pigeon is the best of husbands and
fathers. On Miss Yingling's farm are Is young
birds which were saved to increase the output.
AS soon as they were feathered the pigeons
were placed together to mate. Since that mo-
ment the cooling and love making have been
progressing with an ardor that would delight
the most romantic. Some have mated; others
are apparently on the verge of mating. AS
long as life lasts they are faithful to each other,
and the young that are born are the care OF
both.
Very few birds die under Miss YingliDg's
care. She ignores artificial heating, believing
that it makes the pigeon delicate.
