THE CARNEAUx PIGEON.

The Carneaux pigeon, recently be-
come popular, is somewhat larger than
the Homer. Size is important in the
production, Of SQUADS, as their value
varies directly with this factor. The
variety appears to equal the Homer as
Il squad producer, although it Is not as
widely distributed in this country.
Several other varieties Of pigeons
which are larger than the Homer are
used on a small scale in squad breed
ing, especially. in crossing upon the
Homer and Carneaux to increase the
size Of the squads. The Runt is one Of
the largest Of these varieties, but is
neither as prolific nor as good breeder
or feeder as the Homer. Some Of the
other varieties used as SQUAD breeders
are the Dragon. the White Maltese or
hen pigeon, the White King and the
common pigeon.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
PIGEON KEEPING :
FOR SQUAD RAISING. :

prepared by United States department OF
Agricultural
Pigeon raising is conducted success
fully as Il special business, also as
side issue on small scale in towns
and cities and on general farms. The
semand for squads, especially in large
cities. Is gradually increasing. Squads
are often used to replace the supply OF
dressed game. which is decreasing In
this country.
Pigeons are profitable source OF In
come on general farms, where they
may secure much Of their feed from
the fields. provided they are not a
nuisance and the loss by shooting and
by hawks, owls and cats is not large.
They can also be raised successfully on
farms where they are closely confined,
provided the squads always can be
marketed to good advantage.
There are great many varieties OF
pigeons, but only few are used eX-
tensively In squad culture. OF these the
Homer is generally considered the most
popular variety. The small common
pigeons produce small squads. frequent

SELECTING BREEDERS.

Good breeding stock is one of the es-
sentials in squad raising. 1t is advis-
able to buy pigeons from realiable pro
ducers, if possible from those who
guarantee their product. Many failures
in squad raising have been due to poor
stock, because the prospective producer
secured old pigeons past their period Of
usefulness or Il surplus Of male birds.
Both the age and the sex Of pigeons
are hard to determine by casual Obser-
walton, which forces the buyer to de
pend largely on the sellers word.
There is great difference in the
value Of pigeons for squad production,
even when of the same variety. Select
the birds individually for their pro-
Efficacy and vitality, for the quality
and size Of their squads and their abil-
ity properly to feed and rear offspring.
white or pinkish white skin and light
colOred legs. as dark colored skins,
legs or beak indicate poor quality Of
flesh
The breeders should be selected with
a definite object in matings, using
males strong in points where the fe-
males are weak. Old pigeons mated
with young birds often give good re-
suits in breeding. making it advisable
sometimes to break up and change a
mating as pair gets old and pro-
Efficacy decreases. Some matings pro-
'luce undesirable qualities in the
squads. which makes it necessary to
remate or Gull out the flock.

Poultry on the Farm.

Just as soon as farmers begin to run
their poultry business on the same
lines and with the same care as they
do their modern diaries. using the best
stock and breeding carefully. they will
find it greatly to their advantage and
riculture. Their advantages for rails
ing poultry are So much better than
those in the towns. who have only a
few lots. that they can easily outstrip
all competitors and get much larger re-
turns for their time and money than
they are now receiving. - Kansas

from two to three years old or to secure
young birds six to eight weeks old and
mate them at the proper age. Squads
which are to be saved for breeding
should be banded before they leave the
nests and a record kept Of their breed
ing. They are usually removed from
the breeding pen after they are able
to fly about and get their own feed. A
catching net or bag made of large mesh
cotton netting, with the mouth or top
about eighteen inches in diameter, is
very useful for catching the pigeons.
Squads Matched in April, May and June
make good breeders, while their value
on the market is comparatively small
at that time Of the year.

KEEP MATING RECORDS.

Continued close inbreeding is not de-
sirable, and many pigeons raisers try
to avoid any inbreeding. The relation.
ship of pigeons as shown by their
bands both in natural and forced mat
ngs should be considered. The danger
from close inbreeding appears to de-
pend largely on how carefully the
breeders are selected. but it should be
avoided by the average squad producer
Careful records Of all matings should
be kept. The males are usually band
ed on one foot and the females on the
other to distinguish the sex of the
birds in the breeding pen. If breed
ing pigeon dies its mate should be re-
moved from the pen and new mating
made.
Pigeons are most valua BILE as squad

ly of poor quality, and are not as pro-
life as the varieties hereinafter dis
cussed.
The Homer because it will usually
return home if allowed freedom, even
when taken hundreds of miles away,
must be confined if the pigeons have
been purchased. The Homer is one of
the best SQUAD producers, because it is
prolific and is good feeder and
mother.

Plentiful Use Of Disinfectants Will Tend
to Prevent Disease.
If poultrymen understood more about
the dangers from all kinds of disease
germs they would use disinfectants
more generally about their poultry
houses. This is especially true when it
concerns the roost platforms and drink
and feed utensils. These germs are
most likely to accumulate, and usually
there is less chance for the suns rays
to reach and purify these places than
almost any other place in the hen
house IN tnz .., ..
-, A good liquid disinfectant is not ex
pensive, because when diluted a gallon
of THE. preparation will make good
many gallons ready for use. The roosts
and platforms may be sprayed with
the disinfectant occasionally, and the
drink and food dishes thoroughly
washed with It twice a week. When
there are any symptomsc.ofi disease. In
the flock the disinfectant should be
used more frequently.
In cold weather the disinfectants
that are in the form Of powder or saw
dust saturated with the preparation
are better to use on the platforms and
rcosts, and when sprinkled on liberal
ly in the evening the fowls will breathe
the germ killing fumes all the night,
which sometimes will cure diseases of
the head and throat like colds 1t is
cheaper to prevent disease than to try
and cure it, and fowls that are healthy
are the only ones that pay to keep.
