permanently two nests, often laying an egg in the second while still ministering to "squealers" in the first. Nest boxes | should be foot square. Undersized ones
 are cramped quarters for nestlings,
 parents and nesting litter. They may be built in tiers but should be on an eye level to permit easy cleaning and daily inspection. A broken egg or dead squab are trouble breeders, hence the need of detecting them. With the removal of squads, the old nests must be cleared out.
 Unfailing furniture in the loft is the feed trough and the peach basket of pine fallings and tobacco stems broken into short lengths. Grit, lime and charcoal are likewise necessities. The former comes in pigeon size.
 In constructing loft or converting an old building into one, special care at taches to making it rat, cat and dog proof. Rat wire across windows and tin strips on the floors and outside corners contribute to making it invulnerable. CHOOSING THE VARIETY
 The Homer is the popular standard breed. It is a fast builder and hardy,
 but produces small squabs. It is being supplanted by the Carneaux, the King and the Maltese, the latter short tailed and of erect carriage. Crosses produce the largest squabs and the practice of
 cross-breedng prevails. Degenerates re-
 suit from too much inbreeding. Four to six weeks, depending upon the
 variety, finds squabs marketable When the down disappears from the head and they are full feathered under the wings,

Excellence of Carneaux, Homer, King and Their Crosses as Squab PrOduc- ers-Practical Methods of Banding, Mating and Feeding Birds, and Dis posal of Squabs
By MIRA KELSEY COX


 Pigeons are convenient to keep, asking
 little room. Lofts holding 15 pairs are recommended with nests easily accessible. Squabs hatch in two weeks, marketable
 in four. The best are destined for the mating pen. Two families are not un- usual Cleanliness, healthful houses, dis
 erect and regular feeding are general fac- tors in successful squab raising
 If discourargement at the outset is to be avoided, one must start properly in squab raising. The size of the pen is regulated by ones ambition. Only large lofts give substantial returns. Fifteen pairs will help the beginner to good work ing knowledge, furnish squads for the ia miy and odd to the mating pen.
 The loft must be practical, the birds of good blood and bought of a reliable dealer. Sometimes one may find to ones chagrin that so-called mated birds deny the allegation. Mated Homers may be secured for S150 a pair, Carneaux and Kings at $2.50. Mater crosses command $3 or more. A pen of 15 pairs makes a good nucleus, representing an investment of $25 at the least. These average an- nually seven or eight pairs of squabs. The standard lOtt, depenulng upon the number of birds to be housed, is divided into rooms, opening into communicating hall running along the south side. On the north they debouch into seperate "flys.' These are wire covered pens, or 10 feet high, furnished with perches Fifty pairs may occupy a room sufficiently large. Smaller rooms accommodating 20 pairs are advocated to facilitate the important task of observing the birds and their families, selecting squabs, etc.
 Each pair requires two nest boxes in recognition of the fact that they often run two families at once They lease

Great not only in size, but in it's pop ularity and extensive breeding, the Tou- louse goose, all authorities agree, orig mated in the Haute Garonne department of France, of which Toulouse is the capital.
 The Toulouse goose is a wonderfully good layer of very large white eggs. It seems that the female rarely becomes broody, and therefore other means of incubating the eggs must be found, either chicken hens or common geese. On large farms making the rearing of geese for the market a speciality, specially con structed incubators are in operation for the matching of the eggs. The gosings are comparatively easy to rear, provided they have good grazing land They re- quire plenty of grass to grow them to perfection.

they are at their plumpest and heaviest. With each succeeding day the tender fat disappears, they use their strengthening wings and their flesh hardens. From matching to despatching the squab must be kept stuffed and settled contentedly like a Billiken in it's nest It is a mar vicious little machine for assimilating quantities of food without exercise. Hun perishes in it's clumsy inability to re- turn. The parents feed faithfully if prop erly supplied.
 Only raisers with large pens undertake to supply restaurants and hotels which squab raisers sell to dealers who sort and class their shipments according to weight color and condition. Twelve pounds to the dozen, light colored, are listed prime. Dark ones are seconds Weights run from 8 to 12 pounds the dozen. The color of squabs cannot be predetermined by feath- CTS or parentage. Where two pairs of crosses respective yield light and dark sets, it is often possible to divorce them and remate. The resultant squabs are usually light
 PREPARING AND MARK BITING
 In dressing squads, several nice points of procedure assist in producing a fin- ished product The squab is suspended, tied by the feet, stuck and bled. A small weight tied to a large fishhook is hung from the beak. This capacities blood drainage and prevents it's settle ment around the neck and consequent darkening.

Automobile Stocks

Are making more money for the investor than any other stocks on the market. Had you invested a few hundred dollars at the be- ginning with Ford, Hupp, tho Rec, Saxon, Chalmers, Paige-De- troit, Chandler, White or any of several others, you would have tidy fortune today.
 Today the automobile industry is established along permanent lines and today it is paying big ger profits than ever before in the history of the business. It is solid fact, however, that the bia money has been made by those who had the foresight to get in on the ground floor with a newly established company. 1t is very true that some large profits have been made on tho stock exchange during the past few months, but It is equally true that much larger profits have been made by those who bought these stocks when they were first put out and the companies were being organized.
 We are the largest exclusive dealers in automobile securities in the country. We do not han dIe any other stocks or bonds. We devote our entire time and attention to the automobile se- curity market. For that reason we believe that we are in bet ter position to furnish facts and information and advice regarding automobile securities than any other brokerage or banking house in the United States.
 Within the last few months WilIys-overIand has advanced $130 per share.
 Rec has advanced over $50 per share.
 Chevrolet was selling for less than $10o few months ago, but is now over $2oo per share, and if you had bought Paige-Detroit you would have more than doubled your money.

The Colorado river was reached b,
two of the early Spanish explorers
from Mexico in 1910. One of the ex-
plorers was Melchior Diaz, who came
across country and went only a short
distance above Yuma, and the other
was fernando de Alarcon, who came
in boats from western Mexico. Owing
to the custom of the natives of carry
ing firebrands in winter with which to
warm themselves, Diaz named the
stream Rio del Tizon (Firebrand Riv-
