The majority of failures in this busl-
ness are due to the fact that most
breeders do not start on with properly
mated stock. They have either bought
cheap stock, or else having paid
enough for good birds, they have been
swindled by dealers.
II you cannot start with first-class
stock, do not start at all. A pair OF
common barnyard pigeons. raising
squads that will weigh from six to
eight ounces each, will eat and feed
to their young as much feed as a pair
of good homers which win raise squads
weighing from nine to fourteen ounces
each.
II possible, make II point to see
your birds before you buy them. II
you cannot AFFORD the time or money
for this. insist on getting a guarantee
from them that the birds are as rep
resented, or that your money will be
refunded.
The sanitary condition OF the lofts
has much to do with the success. We
do not advocate running through the
plant all the time looking for filth.
The manure from a pigeon pen is
worth about sixty cents a bushel as
fertilizer. In cleaning, two rounds
are made OF all the pens. In the first
the manure is all gathered. care being
taken to keep It as free from feathers
az possible. II should then be bagged
up and sont away. On the second
round the nests are all cleaned and the
floor thoroughly swept
Where the squads are very young,
or there are eggs, the nest must not
be disturbed. II a nest has squads in
1t old enough to get along by them
selves, the nest Is cleaned out and the
squads replaced.
After thorough sweeping, spray
the inside of the pens, covering every
crack and crevice with a solution Of
one part carbolic acid and two parts
water.
There should be regular days for
killing. Before feeding in the morn
ing, every SQUAD of the size fit to kill
should be gathered up and taken to
the killing room. If any Of the birds
have a little feed left in their crops,
make an incision with a sharp knife
and wash the crop clean.
AS a rule, squads are ready to dress
at four weeks old; but some parents
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1911-02-16

do not care for their birds as well as
others, and II will therefore take their
squads a few days longer to mature.
If the breast is well filed out and the
feathers under the wings have started
to break open and split at the points,
the SQUAD is ready for market. The
wings of each SQUAD should be locked
behind 1t by crossing them twice. and
the bird hung by the feet head down
ward between two nails driven closely
together. A sharp pointed knife in
serted in the mouth up to the base
OF the skull sewers the iugular vein
and the SQUAD quickly bleeds to death.
The bird must be thoroughly bled
before picking. or else the blood will

the breeders term II. and its value
greatly reduced.
Wing and tail feathers should be
pulled first, then the neck, back and
breast, care being taken not to tear
the skin anywhere, as torn squads
spoil the appearance of the shipment.
After picking. the bird should be
allowed to cool In ordinary cool wa
ter, for half an hour or more. II must
then be thoroughly washed, the crop
cleaned out, and place in tub of ice
water until frozen. then they are ready
for packing.

SPRING PIGS QUITE SCARCE
Kept for Breeding-Apple Or
chard for Pasture.

Pigs are scarce and high. The cause
Is largely due TO the high price OF
all kinds OF grain The brood sows
have been fattened and sold-the re-
suit is scarcity of shoats and pigs
the country over. II will take at
least a year before the farmers will
be able to all mp their pens. The
thrifty, wellmarked female pigs
should be saved for breeders.
Alter the male pigs before they have
made much growth. 1t is best 10 have
this business done by an expert, as
there is less risk Of loss. After alter
ing place the pigs in a dry pen, hav.

share. Give wood ashes and burnt
wood twice a week. Keep the feed
trough clean and dry Sour slop. dirty
troughs and yards are sure to breed
cholera and swine plague. Breeding
stock should have the range of a good
clover pasture. There Is no better pas
ture for sows with pigs than the ap-
Pile orchard. The fallen fruit will dc
