Justice Andrews. who had given care

ers' briefs for many days. promptly
denied the motion and cleared the
ground for the real opening of the
case.
There were little murmurs of sur
prise when Mr. Bowers explained that
Colonel Roosevelt had never meant to
profit only or that he made invisible
government pay rich dividends. Some
persons jumped to the conclusion that
the colonel was backing water and
that the character to dismiss was an
indication that he wasn't nearly SO full

straight out. however,. that this y

was simply for the purpose Of knitting
together the law points of his case and

The ease and speed with which the

feathers when they are three weeks-

| Before engaging In the pigeon busl-

| some successful pigeon breeder Ona
can learn more in this way than from
three months of reading.
Nobody except simpleton will buy
pigeons whose mating is not absolute
ly guaranteed. Even then one should
not buy except from a dealer with a
high reputation, because even If the
birds are guaranteed and they prove
to be minated much time win be lost
before they can be replaced.
The aim OF every pigeon dealer is to-
produce the largest amount OF meat
in his bird. For this reason scrub
stock should never be used.
No artificial heat is required In
pigeon houses, but they must be alb
solutely tight as drafts are fatal
Pigeons begin to lay two weeks aft
er mating. They lay two eggs which
hatch in about eighteen days.
The old birds stop feeding the young
squads when the next pair hatch.
Each pair of birds should be provid-
ed with two nests.
Pigeons cannot thrive unless they
have place in which to fly. Con-
fined in houses they win quickly con-
tract consumption and die Even i'm
the coldest weather they should ba
allowed to fly outdoors when they
please.
The breeding season is from March
to September, but extra good breed
ers will produce young ten months In
the year.

(By e. VAN BENTHUYSEN1
A young pigeon, unlike a ynuns
chicken. cannot feed itself, but mus
be fed by the old bird.
Very often squads do not leave the
nest until they are a month old and
ready for the market.
Sometimes the old birds will favor
one OF their offspring and feed It con.
tinually, allowing the others to 20
hungry much of the time. 1t is not
unusual to see one large. plump bird
and half-starved, puny one in the
same nest, both having been hatched
at the same time.
The male bird sits on the nest at
night and the female In the daytime
Some dealers say that this is the only
true test of mating.
Vermin Is a constant menace to
pigeons and must be always fought
Frequent whitewashing, absolute
cleanliness, and tobacco-stems placed
in the nests will generally keep the
birds reasonably clean
Pigeons must have clean water for
bathing, once every day. 1t shouiG
be given them early in the morning
The birds cannot live without it.
The bathing dishes should be emp
tied Immediately after the birds have
used it, as it quickly becomes foul and
should not be allowed TO stand.
The pigeon that goes about with
dropping wings is a sick bird
AT the first sign of sickness. the
bird should be taken out of the pens
and placed by itself. Unless it is very
valuable it should be killed at the
end of three days if it is not entirely
well.
