Seventy-six out of eighty
seven cases of typhoid fever
which occurred in a recent out
break have been traced by the
United States Public Health Ser
vice to infected milk. Had the
first cases been reported to a
trained health officer the out
break could have been stamped
out promptly. When will we
learn that disease prevention is
sure and cheap?

A very interesting and profitable in
dustry IN Noxubee, though a small
one, is Mr.. Tom Walthall's pigeonry,
at the plant of the Macon Electric
Light and Water Works, where he is
one of the engineers. The pigeon is
not only a beautiful bird, but a bird of
principle and morals. ,a
Mr.. Walthall started in August, 1918,
with two pairs, gradually adding to
his flock by purchase until in January,
1914, he had about fifty pair. These
have increased naturally into a flock of
five hundred, notwithstanding the
fact that he has sold over a hundred
squads, and lost many young birds and
eggs due to crowded quarters before
he gained experience in caring for
them. There is a ready market for
squads locally and in Meridian and
other cities. They bring a quarter a
couple, (. O.. b. Macon. The cost of
raising a pair to marketable age is
something less than ten cents; that is
about what the parents cost to feed a
month and they do all the work. Mr..
Walthall keeps all his birds, except a
few, confined all the time; the cost
would be nothlug a month most of the
year, where n could let his birds
range. 49,,
The uneonfned pigeons referred to
are the Carneaux, large, very hand
some birds. and stay-at-homes, rarely
going a hundred yards from the cote.
The rest OF the pigeons are ordinary
homers. They are kept in large wire
pens, with good roofs.
Pigeons mate for life and nothing
but death or removal ever separate a
pair once mated, except that when
from lack of other mates a pair out of
the same nest mate. they will divorce
each other and take other mates when
opportunity occurs. They believe in
women's rights and the single standard
of morals. The rooster does almost as
much of the Matching as the hen, and
more of the feeding Of the young.
They lay once a month. the second egg
two days after the first, but both eggs
hatch the same day, the last egg pro-
duclng a female, the first a male. If
everything run perfectly. a pair will
raise a pair a month, but the actual
average is from seven to nine pair OF
squads q year. i-5.
The hen comes off the nest when sit.
ting about ten in the morning, hel
mate taking her place on the eggs.
She feeds and loafs until about four ir
the afternoon and then resumes sitting.
The eggs hatch in seventeen days anc
in a day or two the hen lays again anc
the old man looks after the children
except between 10 and 4 O'Clock durinp
the day. Squads are ready for market
at thirty days old.
Pigeons should be fed, when confined
twice a day; whole corn or wheat o.
mixed feed is what they like ane
thrive on, and plenty Of water Il
drink and to battle in. They are very
, fond of bathing end take a morning
plunge no matter how cold the weather.
They are very fond of salt. and II
given free access to table or granu.
E lated salt, will make themselves sick
a by eating too much, SO the best plan i.

truth TO your own life. Many OF you
