Keep Large FIOcks.
There is one trouble pigeon breeders
among US have experienced. They have
kept such small fiOcks that they have
not had product sufficient To contrac ct

them at as good prices as they would

No very expensive equipment is re-

Cleanliness Essential.
Cleanliness is very essential IN the
raising Of pigeons More so, If possible
than with poultry and their premises
are a little harder to keep clean They
require water. both for bathing and for
drinking, and drinking fountains are
a necessity with them. as they are quite
as bad as ducks in their slOppiness with
water.
There are many varieties Of pigeons
pure bloOds and crOsses-used by squad
breeders. Personally 1 have had no eX-
perience with any but hOmers and
that no breed or cross breed can eX-
eel homers. Their squads are large,
weighing about one pound at -FOUR

pair of pigeons can be depended on for
at least u squads per year. Most squad

Fortune in Pigeons.
Near Los Angeles there is a pigeon
farm with. birds variOusly estimated at
from 10000 to $4,000 and il IS said that
wealthy from the enterprise. The birds
have free range. i have often thought
Of the possibility Of such a. plant in the
FL PasO territory man could locate
on the line Of some railroad. 20 miles
from the city and from any farm and
have all the free range he wanted with
no one TO protest. The location would
be ideal and fortune could be made.
