WOODEN GAS MAINS LASTING

sun Sound.

When gas system was Installed In
Canandaigua more than seventy years
ago there was laid in the main street
six-lnch wooden trunk line 1900 feet
long. In survey OF the distribution
system made recently II was decided
that. since this wooden trunk line had
seen such long and faithful service, II
must be time to give II a well-earned
rest.
But when q section Of the pipe was
uncovered the engineers changed their
minds because there was disclosed a

though this wooden pipe had been ly.
ing submerged In water, II appeared to
be as sound as the day II was laid. A
hole was bored In It with an ordinary
carpenters bit. The inside of the log
was Just as sound as the outside. Its
thickness was found to be nearly two
and one-half inches. making the out
side diameter OF the log eleven inches.
Chips from the boring showed there
had been no seepage through the fiber
and the wood was not lmpregnated
with n gas odor. There was only a
thin Alm on the inside OF the pipe. 9th

FEEDING PIGEONS IN LOFTS
Most Popular Method IL to Have
Stated Hours for Placing Grain
supply In Tnoushs.

Self-feedlng hoppers are seldom
found nowadays In the lofts of veteran
pigeon breeders. Their argument Is
that they have not found It profitable
to have several days supply of grain
within reach so the birds may help
themselves at will. There are two
reasons for this: First, inferior
squads are raised IN lofts where feed
Is constantly before the birds, as there
is no regularity among the breeding
pigeons in feeding their youag; sec
ond, this continual picking at the
grain eventually leads to poor appe-
tites. resulting In the squads suffer.
Ing.
Another disadvantage IN having
feed lying around, Is that 1t attracts
mice and even rats, and when once
these enemies get m a loft there Ia
great loss Of young birds.
The most popular method for feed
Ing Is TO have stated hours for plac-
Ing the gram IN the troughs. These
The Lehi sun. [volume] (Lehi, Utah) 1913-1949, 1922-09-07

troughs are placed In the center OF the
floor, so that there will be plenty Of
room for all the birds to gather
around 1t. Galvanized iron drinking
vessels are preferred to stone foun-
tains.
There are three open boxes in each
loft, measuring II inches In length,
three inches In width, and three inches
In depth. and these boxes contain
oyster-sheh, grit and charcoal.
A bathtub is placed In the aviary Of
each pen. These are made OF galvan-
lied iron and of convenient size for
handling. During the winter the
birds are given a bath about once a
week, but only on bright clear days.
In summer It may be given twice
week. These pans are filled about
eleven o'clock In the morning and al
lowed to remain for about two hours,
when they are emptied and turned
upside down. II the water Is not emp
tied shortly after the birds are
through bathing, they may drink Of II
