get fully developed, and they will rear
much harder and larger youngsters
than those that breed when younger
Birds have been known to breed when
only three months old, but such early
mating should be discouraged
In order to avoid dark skinned
squads it is advisable not to breed
from birds that have very dark legs
or beaks Some have an idea that a
bird with black plumage is more like
~ to be dark skinned than white
feathered one. but this is not the case,
as some Of the whitest skinned squads
that have been produced were from
black pigeons.
The winter quarters must be dry
but airy, of course-and perfectly free
from drafts.
Don't throw food on dirty and damp
g:ound. This is IA poor system. The
grain becomes sour damp. and If all
is not eaten up becomes spoiled and
wasted. The best plan is to use trays
and feed inside the buildings where
no dampneSs can spoil the food. Feed
as much rs will be eaten up clean at
one meal 1t is far better to have
birds 20 a little hungry than to have
food before them all day. as some do.

airy 1S contains the following account of
the death of Mrs. w. w. Wood, a

ton, combining her to her home for many
weeks. She was a native of Vermont,
but had visited in Ligonier many times,
and in 1912 came to make this her perma-
nent home. During these few years she
formed many friendships and endeared
herself to the hearts of wide circle of
dear friends, who sincerely mourn her
untmely death The salient points in
her life's history are briefly stated in
the following obituary:
Jane Allen Stevens, wife of Wilbur w.

Wood was direct descendant of Ira
Allen, brother of Ethan Allen both
famous revolutionary heroes.
Possessing wonderfully beautiful
character Mrs. Wood was greatly be-
loved by all whorcame in contact with
her, and it comes to few to have so large
a circle of devoted friends Pure minded
in the highest degree, kind and con-
siderate to all, never speaking an unkind
word of anyone, thinking of others than
herself, is small wonder that she leaves
host of loving friends, who greatly
mourn her loss.

resided

To rear squads successfully a per
son must know his birds, must know
that there are none but working pairs
must keep them free from vermin and
be in a position to notice anything ir-
regular that may be going on in the
loft, says the Farm Journal. This re-
quires constant care and attention, and
loft of 200 pairs requires at least two
hours work per pay, besides one day
week for killing the youngsters and
cleaning up in general.
The females, as a rule, are more
delicate than the males This is true
in both old and young pigeons.
Seldom do young pigeons produce
their first squads in less than eight
months, and two pairs are about all
they produce before they are one year
old. The birds in the first pair are
generally small
The best breeders are birds that are
hatched in April or May These gen
orally do not mature before October
and seldom breed until the following
spring. This gives them a chance to

To be successful the beginner win do
well to allow the old hen to hatch and
rear the chicks. allowing them free
range and with food in hoppers con
