Value Of Carrier Pigeons
By Frederic ]. Haskiu.

Der of clubs are conducted to dissem- mate information and enable pigeon fanciers to get best results. For in stance there Is a Lost and Found" department in one magazine. In which may be read advertisements of car- riers found. giving the number at tached to the small aluminium band around the leg of the pigeon. A bird pred In Massachusetts may be found in Virginia and returned to its owner through this department. Extensive manufacturing establishments are con- ducted solely to supply foods. appii- ances for coops and devices for at taching names. numbers and messages.
 History is replete with references to the exploits of the homing variety Of pigeon. The carrier is said to have been of Oriental origin, being brought to England from Bagdad. Pliny tells Of the use of carriers by Decimus Ju- nius Brutus during the Roman wars to convey messages to his consuls. In Syria pigeon postal service was main tained from 1l46 to 1174, towers being maintained at stated intervals wherein men watched for the birds and assist ed them to perform their functions ef- fciently. Visitors in the classic Olym- pic games sent news of their triumphs to friends at home by carrier pigeons.
 In ancient times the pigeon was sa- cred In many Eastern countries. and in Russia, Turkey and other parts of the Far East Is still So regarded. In all Mohammedan countries great numbers of pigeons are attached to the mosques. where they are fed and protected. The inhabitants of these countries. from the rulers down to the common peo- pie. keep them in large focks and train them. This practice spread to Europe in the Middle Ages. and the city of Modena. Italy. is celebrated as a pigeon-fying center. It Is believed the practice of training pet Falcons in early English history grew from the older practice of training pigeon in the Far East.
