Fresh Air, 0ryness, Drainage and

The essentials of pigeon house are
fresh air, dryness and good drainage,
sunlight. and space enough for the
comfort of the pigeons.
A southern or southeastern expo-
sure is best. Care should be taken
to construct house that cannot cas-
lily become infested with rats, and it Is
best to leave space under the house
into which cats and dogs can go for
rats. without being able to get at the
pigeons. This is usually accomplished
by building the house II to "a inches
above the ground and boarding I'D the
space between the ground and the
floor, but leaving small doors for cats
and dogs. Floors built several inches
above the ground, except in warm
climates, should be double, with build
ing paper between the layers. The
house should be tightly constructed on
all sides to prevent any drafts. While
more open and less expensive houses
may be built in warm climates, the
house must be comfortable in cold
weather. The squads produced in
winter may be increased somewhat
by heating the pigeon house, but this
does not pay under average condi-
lions. Sunlight is essential.
Windows should make up about one
tenth Of the front OF the house and be
so arranged that they can be taken
out during the warm weather. One
window In each pen may be replaced
by muslin curtains for ventilation In
cold weather. The windows should
