FEEDING PIGEONS IN LOFTS
Most Popular Method Is to Havs
Stated Hours for Placing Grain
Supply In Trouohs.

Self-feeding hoppers are seldom
found nowadays In the lofts of veteran
pigeon breeders. Their argument Is
that they have not found 1t profitable
to have several days supply of grain
within reach so the birds may help
themselves at viii. 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 young; 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 in a loft there Is
great loss Of young birds.
The most popular method for feed
Ing is to have stated hours for plac-
Ing the grain In the troughs. These

troughs are placed In the center Of the
floor, SO that there win be plenty Of
room for all the birds to gather
around it. 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-shell, 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
week, but only on bright clear days.
In summer 1t may be given twice a
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

tied shortly after the birds are
