Pigeon Breeding
BY FREDERIC }. HAsKiN

for as long as two days. BY expert
mental work Lieut.. McAtee has even
trained bird to stay with the nest
for four days in the absence of the
mate.
At four weeks the baby birds are at
the age when they may be eaten as
squads. At six weeks they have lost
the plumpness that makes them desir-
able for food. They are full grown.
The baby homers that survive the no.
tel menu age are soon ready for train
ing. They have the instinct of orien-
tation, no one knows why or how. But
they have to be trained to use it for
| the benefit of man.
The young. full fledged birds are
called to be fed by rafting grain in a
can. They learn to know the trainer
and the sound and to come when he
calls them. Then they are let out for
exercise. They fly round and round
the loft while their wings gain
strength, until the trainer calls them
down by rafting the can. They learn
to know their own loft even if it is in
a row of buildings exactly alike, and
rarely does a bird make a mistake.
| When the young birds are familiar
a mile away in basket and released
to fly home. Then the distance is in
creased to five miles, then TO- and sc
on until by the end of the first year
the best birds are flying 200 miles
and some even 500 miles
i From his naval experience Lieut.
McAtce says that out of the birds
that prove good homers, in the frs
] year 81 percent will deliver messages
satisfactorily. The birds that do not
have the homing instinct sufficiently
strong or that have little endurance
are lost on the long flights and the
navy does not try to recover them. L

that comes in regularly with mud OF

from the navy roll for lack of stamin;
or deficient sense of responsibility
OF Many CoIors.
When you first go into one of thu
navy lofts you are struck with thu
great variety of size, colorings, ant

marking in the pigeons. Blue is the
ground color of all pigeons, and the
rainbow colored birds in a prize loft
are all descendants of the ledge roost-
ing blue rock dove. But by use of
sports and by skillful inbreeding and
crossbreeding man has developed no
less than 400 separate types as distinct
as 400 flowers. There are large and
small varieties. Some are mahogany
red, others buff Yellow others silver,
and great many are gray, black, and
white. Some are almost one solid
color and others are beautifully mark
ed in bands and splotches. Almost
all, including the pure white birds,
have irridescent colorings in the neck
feathers.
After you note the variety you begin
to see how many of single breed are
! in a loft, ad you wonder how the
breeders can tell the birds apart. Yet
they know every one of the good
homers and other fine birds. Out OF
cage of 100 birds the navy pigeon
trainer can point out number $40 that
few 500 miles from Napponse, Ind,
to Washington in II hours, 81 minutes
with a cross wind. He points out

i is always reliable. She has flown SOC
miles three times this year and came
out first in one race and second in an
other.
There is no guesswork about it. The
pigeon lover knows his birds. Out a

and it responds quickly to expert
ments, and because the cycle of gen.
erations is so short.
The Baird farm is primarily a SQUAD
farm, but it is to be a laboratory as
well. McAtee and jacobson expect to
produce blue king pigeon and blue
Baird, no pun intended. These will be
entirely new types. Then, too, breed
ers always work for better specimens
of the usual varieties.
Aside from its place in the sporting
world, the homing pigeon is bird of
war, and it is bred for endurance,
strength, and reliability. In SQUAD
raising. rapid production and size are
the aims of the breeder. Other pigeon
breeders are fanciers, raising and
studying birds as a lover of roses
might experiment with his bushes
With them the showroom is the objec
tive.

BORN WITH SHOES

Eugene Lyman Fisk, NJ D., in The
Health Builder.
In a long range of what Herbert
Spencer called physical sins. foot sins
loom up as the stupidest and least ex-s
cusable OF which man is guilty. If
men and women were born with the
wretched appliances they call shoes.
theyswould have a right to raise their
voices in lamentation over the Cruz
city of nature in afflicting them with
such burden. Is it not strange
paradox that we should glory in our
scientific ingenuity that has enabled
us to construct the flying machine,
while we have lost the art of walking
correctly and making our feet and
legs really dependable as instruments
of locomotion? If we we're simply
aspiring to fly and ultimately aban-
don the use of our lower limbs, that
would be a consistent program. But
why insist upon encasing our feet in
reforming appliances? Why not use
reasonable intelligence in walking.
when in the rare intervals of flying
or whizzing around on wheels in va
rious types of conveyances we actu-
ally condescend to come into contact
with the earth?

with a charming little apology be-
cause her illness had kept her from

come to see her at the shop between

At the appointed time found her
sitting at a big desk in cubby hole
of a room dominated by the desk and
lightened by mirror. She was OBJ

ued conversation in Turkish with
a client who occupied the largest of
the three chairs in the cubby hole
She was an elderly woman, hand
somely gowned. whose eyes, even in

splendor Of her spring.

inch to her visitor, and the latter was
obliged to accept receipted bill for

paid. When she rose to take her
leave. the lady of the shop rose too,
and they saluted each other in the
pretty, ceremonious way OF the past.

we began to speak of the days when
the women of Turkey spent their

gave them massage and flower

For Better Government

q ONERNOR TRINKLE has DISPLAYED ex-
~ cellent Judgment in his appointments
To the commission that is to draft legisla-
non looking to governmental reorganiza-
ton in virginia. The personnel OF the com
mission, now complete, is such as to
strengthen the popular expectation of high
accomplishment.
For the study of the field in which this
commission will work ample time and funds
nave been provided; reports are to be in the
hands OF the legislators by December 81
1923. The commissioners, of course have
other important interests that will prevent
Them from pursuing this public service as
steadily as they might desire but. with their
equipment of knowledge and public spirit
they may be expected to round ont their
survey with recon- mendations of the highest
value to the next and succeeding Legisla-
lures.
The Governor feels that this commission
Is second IN Importance among those to be
named by him this year, the Highway Com
mission being placed first. His estimate may
hardly be questioned. The work OF the
reorganization body should result in changes
making for both economy and efficiency in
the handling of public affairs. for more
effective coordination of State and local
agencies and for fairer opportunity for
all the States institutions.
