PROFIT FROM PIGEONS
Eggs Usually Fertile if Birds Arc
Properly Fed.

Pigeon eggs are usually fertile If the
Mgeons are healthy and properly fed,
especially when they have free range.
One squad CASUALLY the male) fire.
Iuently matches first, and where there
are several cases where one SQUAD
outgrows it's nest mate, it may be ad.
yisable to sort the squads in the nests,
making the pairs as uniform as pos
sible in size and age. If the parent
bird dies the squads may sometimes
be removed to a nest where there is
only one squad, or they may be fed
artiflcially, although this process takes
considerable time.
Roosts of various sizes, usually ar
ranged in perpendicular rows, are
placed at convenient points in the
pen. A good type Of roost is A.
shaped made of two boards about 3
inches wide and 6 or z inches long,
placed directly over each other SO
that the pigeons will not soil one an
other with their droppings. If hop
pers or feed troughs are used they
should be of good size, while the hop
pers should be constructed so that
the pigeons cannot waste the grain
easily by throwing it onto the floor
Fountains or pans with floats in which
the pigeons cannot battle are best
adapted for drinking vessels, while a
galvanized-iron pan from 3 to inches
deep and IS to rs inches in diameter
makes good bath pan.
Many varieties of grain are used in
feeding pigeons. A good mixture OF
staple grains may be made Of equal
parts by weight of cracked corn, hard
red wheat, kafir corn, and Canada

Chicago, Sept. 8.-With the threat

way executives of % Western lines re-
