For food purposes pigeons are
usually classed with poultry. Cultural
~ they are in q class by themselves,
producing meat only, producing it
very quickly, and able to produce

NIT of growing any other creature
used for food.
While the ideal arrangement for
pigeons is to have their house on the
ground, and q small covered yard,
called a fly" connecting with it,
pigeon keeping may be carried on
quite extensively In upper rooms, or
lofts, with or without open air flys.
Many flocks OF pigeons are kept in
large cities in quarters provided for
them in the lofts or on the roofs Of
buildings used for mercantile and
manufacturing purposes.
Space for Breeding.
A space six feet square, and high
enough for the attendant to stand
erect, will accommodate eight to ten
pairs Of pigeons for squad breeding.
The birds mate and begin breeding
when six to seven months old. Two
eggs are laid by the hen. Then the
male shares with her the duty of in
cubation. The young hatch in about
seventeen days. At four weeks old,
average good squads will weigh about
three-quarters of a pound each. Some
of the larger ones will weigh over 8
pound at that age.
A good pair of breeders will pro-
duce six or seven or more pairs OF
squads a year. AS many as eleven
pairs Of squads have been produced
by one pair in a year. When produc.
ton is high the female lays and be-
gins incubation while she has young
still in the nest, leaving the care OF
them to her mate.
Pigeons on Farms.
Raising squads has greatly in
creased in cities in recent years. On
farms the tendency has been the other
way. On q farm a flock Of free
pigeons, If not kept down by killing
off the increase, soon becomes q

VOTE ALL FARM HAPPENINGS
Records Make Reference to Them
Easy and They Become Valuable
When Memory Falls.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Simple accounts Of the everyday
happenings on the farm will often be
found Of great value. Every farmer
makes a note when a calf is born or a
SOW farrows. Many do SO mentally
only, but it Is none the less a note. II
such notes are written down In a way
that makes reference to them easy,
they become OF much use in supplying
needed information when memory
fails. Notes recording other every
day happenings often prove useful.
Among these may be mentioned the
dates when animals r bred, men
hired or discharged, accidents occur,
pasture season begins and ends. first
and last frosts occur, incubators are
set, spring work begins and fall work
ends, seed time and harvest occur, etc.
Such notes as these when systematic
k cally recorded and constantly referred
to are Of much value. They enable
n to take proper precautions as to
feed and care Of animals prior to the
birth Of young, thereby often saving
both mother and offspring. Disputes
with hired men az to wages are avoid
ed by recording when they are hired, a
wage agreement, and all amounts SUBJ
seQuently paid them. Accident rec
ords are Of value when seeking redress
for damages, pasture data when figur-
Ing on feed supply. and frost and other
weather data in planning the years

a great deal Of damage, especially on
~new-seeded ground.
The remedy for this is to keep the
pigeons under control, and use the
young birds, except the few needed
to keep up the flock, as fast as ready
for the table. BY establishing the
flock Of pigeons in an accessible place,
giving them a little food occasionally
in their loft, and keeping them shut
in and feeding them when they could
damage new-seeded ground, a farm
flock Of pigeons can be made to con-
tribute substantially to the meat sup
ply. and still be prevented from doing
any serious damage.

STOP WEEDS

Most persons do not realize
what an enormous number Of
seeds are produced by weeds.
The number varies with differ
ent species, most kinds produc-

thousand seeds per plant. Some
weeds, such as wild carrot, bur-
dock and sow thistle, are capable
Of producing 10000 or more
seeds to the plant. Moreover,
not all weed seeds terminate at
once, but delay sprouting fer q

years. This is the basis Of the
