In the United States there is prob

Just what faculty enables the hon.

miles away is point of dispute
among eminent homing-pigeOn breed
ers Some attribute it to remarkable
instinct. Others maintain that this

full that it Is able 70 see much farther
than any other species. while there are
some who claim that 1t is the ex-
trere and strong attachment for

Training the Birds.
1t is necessary to keep the birds in
good condition with plenty OF outdoor
exercise, both in good and bad wealth
er, if they are to have endurance for
long flights. The young birds are
usually Matched in February and
March. During the time when the eggs
are being incubated and the young
each day On alternate days the other
is shipped to the training station. In
this way the breeding is not interfered
with, and the eggs or young are never
left without one or the other Of the
old birds.
In the beginning of the training the
birds are conveyed in a basket not
more than six or eight blocks from
their lofts to an open spot away from
buildings. The basket is faced toward
the loft and the birds liberated at
once. At this distance pigeon spe-
cialists advise practicing them from
all points Of the compass, The next
step is to select the rOuteNover which
