WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.
Epidemic Among Pigeons.

MaTinette.-Pigeon owners report
that they have had hard time raising
their pigeons this winter, owing to the
appearance which seems to be cpl
demic in the cotes and coops. Some of
the owners say they have lost as many
as half of their birds and they are I'M
able TO account for the disease or how
it was spread to the different cotes.
The first symptom of disease that a
dove or pigeon afflicted shows is a
dropping and listless way with no de-
sire TO move from the roost. The bird
then slowly becomes blind and through
inability to see food, or by striking its
head against objects in the cote, il
finally kills itself.
