the Same Methods Are Used

NEW YORK. December oS.-Pigeon
roosts dot the roofs all over the city. One
can hardly look up in some parts of
town that his eye will not catch a flight
of the birds. If one gets on the roof level,
ne VIII see. here and there. scattered over
the checkerboard of housetops, men fran

They're beating for pigeons explained
the man who knows
Pigeons. ii appears, are simple-minded
They are fond of their homes, but they
are also sociable in a fool dribbling sort
of way. Like the young man. who went
to party and ate just as heartily as if
he'd been really invited. they like to drop
in on house parties of strange pigeons
when they get the chance.
Therefore," said the man who knows.
the pigeon owner goes on the roof and
stirs his pigeons up two or three times a
day. They fiutter around in circles, prob
ably troubled in their soft minds Other
pigeons. flying on their own business, see
the agitation ir the pigeon world and
come over To see what is going on. When
the man with the pole goes below. the
pigeons who belong on that roof alight to
see how their household goods are getting
along. The strange pigeons. who have
forgotten whatever errand they started
ON. also land on the roof. and go cooling
and pouting about. By and by they enter
the roost and the door closes automati-
cally. BY such means the pigeon owner
often anneXes three or four pairs of pig
cons a day, and as pigeons have u certain
market value he profits to that extent.
But his Is not queer trade, as has
been suggested They use precisely the
