With squads selling at from 35 TO so

our advice is TO go slow before engag-

Pigeon raising is really speciality
and one is hardly able to make a sue
cess OF II without some training In
the first place, no one except an ex-
pert can detect the difference between
the males and females; always one
should have a guaranty that they are
properly mated.
An excess of cocks will result in the
production OF small and unhealthy
squads.
There Is no fixed system in the rails

be learned from actual experience.
