TRY PIGEONS To FIGHT
HIGH COST Of LIVING
easy and Not Expensive to Keep
in the Cities or in
the Suburbs.

When the amount OF fccd and atten-
tion required ale considered, there are
few sources of meat supply available TO
the city or suburban householdcrs as
easily and cheaply to be had as a flock
Of pigeons. Pigeons are good forasers
and will go long distances Tor food, but
they should not be compelled to supply
their own wants entirely They may be
kept in a corner pnrtitioncd off in the
attic or in piano box or similar in
closure on the roof where ground space
is not available, bu. if there is room for
it a house is desirable.
The essentials Of pigeon house arc
fresh air, dryness and good drainage,
sunlight and space enough for the COM
fort OF the pigeons.
A southern or southeastern exposure is
best. Care should be taken TO construct
a house that cannot easily become in
tested with rsta, and IL 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 twelve
to twenty-four inches above the ground
and boarding UP the space between the
ground and the floor, hut lea wing snail
doors for cats and dogs. Floors built
several inches above the ground. except
in warm climates, should be double. with
building paper between the layers. The
house should be tightly constructed on
all sides to prevent any drafts. While
moro open and less expensive houses
NAV be built in warm climates, the
house must be comfortable in cold
weather The squads produced in win
ter may he increased somewhat by heat
ing the pigeon house, but this does not
pay under average conditions Sunlight
Is essential.
Windows should make up about one
tenth of the front of the house and he sn
arranged that they can be taken out dur
ing the warm weather. One window In
each pen may lie replaced by muslin cur
tains for ventilation in cold weather
The windows should be placed Just below
the caves To allow the sun To shine well
back into the house.
A gable roof building ten to fifteen feet
wide, six feet from the floor to the caves,
and eight to nine feet to the ridge.

Meanwhile we were approaching the

more often a sullcn stare. When we finally
stopped in dingy, cheerlcss street outside
still dingior and less cheerful ''pot mis-

small girls with shawls over their heads,

Interior fixtures OF pigeon houses
should be as simple AZ posaiblo and easy
to clean. Two nest boxes should be pro-
vided for each pair Of pigeons, and there
should be some extra nests. The nest
boxes are usually made about twelve
inches square, yet sone breeders prefer
this width and height with depth of
fifteen to eighteen inches. Egg or orange
crates may be used for nests, but they
arc difficult To keep clean and less desira-

A good method Of construction is to us,

built in tiers against the rear wall Of the
pen, extending from the floor To seven

placed on the side walls. All partitions

PATRIOTIC CELEBRATIONS.

We wish to call the attention OF
the teachers to the two Birthdays
that ought to be celebrated in Feb
ruary, Lincoln's on February Twelfth
and Washington's on February
Twenty-Second. So much material
is available for the proper celebra-
ton of these anniversaries that we
do not believe it advisable to pub
lish suggestive programs in the limit
ed space that we shall have at our
disposal in the February Number of
the Educational News Bulletin. We
ask the teachers, however, to begin
early to prepare attractive and ms
piring programs in celebration of the
birthdays of these two great Ameri-
cans. Many teachers believe that it
is advisable to combine the programs
in one and we see no objection what
ever to the plan, but we do want a
program worth while carried out in
every school in the state commem-

PREVENTING FOREST FIRES

On the National Forests, compris-
ing l55.OO0.m acres, representing %
per cent. of the timber resources of
the country, the fire situation is
fairly well in hand according to
Safeguarding America Against Fire.
Each year, through proper educa-
tional and publicity activities as well
as more strict enforcement of laws
and regulations. sees a reduction in
the number of fires caused through
human agencies. We shall not, how
ever, approach perfection in forest
fire protection until fires caused by
human agencies are entirely elimin-
ated. We still have a long way to
go. This statement can be appreciate

t'onal Forests during 1917, nearly
three-fourths were due to careless
ness and were. therefore, prevent
