commodations for the pigeons that are
to be kept by the breeder. The fly
should be larger than the loft itself.
1t should be the same height as the
house and twice as long. That is,
house Of which the board part is ten
feet across in front should have the
wire fly twenty feet long.
A single loft with a wire fly can be
made very simply. A succession of
four lofts would make building forty
feet long and twelve feet wide. With
such loft the wire fly should extend
across the front up as high as the roof
and about twice as deep as the house
proper; that Is, for house of four
rooms of the same depth as the one
suggested, the wire should be twenty
to twenty-four feet wide across the
whole front of the building.
The nests for the pigeons are ar
ranged along the back and side walls.
They should run from twelve inches
from the floor to within the same dis
lance from the roof, and be little
vide the back space Of ten feet into
three equal parts. Be careful not to
overcrowd, as it requires skill to han
die large number of pigeons In one
loft successfully.
Each compartment should be fixed
in such a way that one end can be
darkened, and the nest should be
placed at this side.
1t will be found best to use the
earthen nest pans that can be bought
from dealers in pigeon supplies. and
these should be supplied material like
shavings, pine needles, ETC., such as
would be suitable for the birds to rest
upon.
When breeding for profit it Is very
necessary to curtail all unnecessary
expense. A building such as that de-
scribed can be put up OF plain matched
boards at the lowest cost possible. II
more money is spent on the building
itself 1t may be papered and clap
boarded, which might be better in sec
tions where the winters are extremely
severe. The cost of good Homers from
reliable dealer is $500 per pair, and
it does not pay to get poor stock

profitable results, and be sure that
they are properly mated.

for Breeding.

Pigeons are found wherever man
has set his foot in any part of the
civilized world. This bird has been
used for spoEting and for food for
many hundreds of years. There are
eleven recognized distinct breeds and
the variety of these breeds is almost
endless.
There is great difference of opin-
ion amsug breeders as to the best va
rieties for squad raising for the mar
ket. The Homer probably stands at
the head Of the list, and there are
large plants in the United States that
raise no other kind. Then there are
several crosses between the Homer
and other breeds, and each variety has
its admirers.
Perhaps today the white Homers are
In greater demand than any other
breed
A cock pigeon should be selected
for his activity and good disposition.
II he struts about a good deal and Is
continually cooling he will generally
make good breeder.
The bird that Is stupid, sluggish or
negligent In the care of his plumage
or vicious in his actions toward other
birds should never be selected. A bird
that is related to it's mate or bred
from blood relatives should never be
used for breeding purposes. Birds with
vigorous constitutions are necessary
for successful market breeding and in
breeding is fatal to this development.
Before buying breeders, the begin
ner should have his lofts in readiness.

POINTS TO HIS RECORD
Ed. T. Young Tells What He
Did During His Term
As Attorney General

Ed. 7. Young has issued brief
statement of his record as attorney
general as a bill for the support Of
the progressives for the govonor-
ship. He divides his service to the
state into four parts as follows:
The defense of the inheritance tax
law in the courts, whereby millions
of dollars were brought into the
state treasury. Three previous laws
of the sort were declared invalid.
The suit sustaining the railroad
gross earnings tax recovering $780,
900 for the state from the railroads.
The rate case recently argued be-
fore the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, said to be the most inn
portant litigation before that court
since the Civil War. These cases in
volve every phase Of the right Of the
state to control and regulate its
railways.
There follows this brief comment:
General Young is not connected
with any special interest and appeals
directly on his record to all those
citizens of the state who want con-
tinuance of the same kind of service.
