young folks hhb ahd fahci piqeoflb most boys are fond of pigeons they are nios pets and are easily kept all the knows varieties can be traced back to three original the stockdose the riogdoro and the turtle dove fancy pigeon have been developed by the ingenuity of breeder and there are no lea than forty four independent rle each of hich contain ereral varie- they all have tome peculiarities in shape plumage or bight and the boy who can promptly name all of them 1 not only a keenobterverbut also ome thing of a natural- lt the leading fanoy plyeons sometimes called artificial varieties are the fantails touter tumblers shakers croppers trumpeter jacoblnes rents and nnns the jaoobine has a hood or i uff of feathers which grows on the back of the neok and encircles the head of the bird it gets its name from the resemblance of toe hood to rttoe cowl of the jacobine aonks the head is peculiarly small and the eyes are bright and pearly yellow i the beat color for them and their value depends on the length and buahlnesa of the appendage the nun gets its name from a similar tuft which resmbles a nuns veil thrown back fiom her face the most perfect of the nun variety are white with the head and tail of another color blaok preferred some go so far a to insist that at least six of the flight feather must be of the same color as the head and tail the fantails are blaok blue or red in color but the choice ones are white it is a fine showy pigeon with a tall of from twenty to thirtysix feathers which it spreads out like a fan i it strata about like a peaoook its wings spread and its tall o ereot as to touoh the back of itshead one with thirty- six tail feathers is considered a perfect bird in rearing the young they mutt have more nest room than other young pigeons or the tail feathers will be in j ored whioh will affeot the beauty and the value of the bird the trumpeter is generally blackmottled has short feathery legs and a tuft of feathers at the root of k beak and sometimes a hood at the back of the head it utters a a sound not unlike a trumpet the tumblers derive their name from the singular habit of tumbling or rolling over and over in their flight j they are consider ed among the best of fancy pigeons if they have all the points the carrier is a noblelooking bird with long neck and head erect around each eye is a clrole of ooe skin ranging in color from a dull orange to a fiery red the latter color preferred there are wattles of soft flesh around the bill white in the ordinary bird but rlaok in the most valuable kind the plumage is generally dun colored or blaok though in some rare cases the bird is blue pied in training them when quite young flights of a mile are sufficient at a time the dlstanoe oan be increased as they acquire strength and experience they must be fed but not overfed before start ing if hungry they will turn aside to hunt for food if overfed they will be likely to loiter they must be watered or thirst will lead them to seek to quench it and no boy could blame them for doing that another thirg is essential they must be taken in a box or covered baskot to the place where they are to be let loose when liberated a good bird will at unce rise high and after making several circles in the air it will start off in the direction of its home with an unorrinp oertainty that has something wonderful in it these pigeons were very useful years ago in carrying messages before the telegraph and telephone were invented the dovecotes may be made round square triangular or eight sided they should be placed on a pole out of the reach of rata and mice and sheltered from the cutting winds by a nearby wal the breeding cells should be large enough to prevent ovei crowding and it is very essen tial that the air should pats through them thete should be a projecting ledge in front of eaoh cell or tier of cells upon whioh the pigeons oan perch each pigeon knows bis own domestio retreat and will sit upon the perch in front of the opening with a keen sense of proprietorship the dovecote should be lined with slate or plastered with cement to keep it freo from vermin which pester the birds very much sometimesttie woodwork is made so that it can be taken apart and scrubbed a loft in the roof of a house iurniihes a good dovecote the entrance should be in tho gble and the main points are freedom from dampness freo aooeesf or air plenty of room and safety from oats pigeons begin to breed at the end of nine months and breed every month except in very cold weather tho nest boxes should be kept clean and should be changed after the birds are a few days old glean water must be kept constantly within their reach the patent food and water boxes and battles are good oontrlvances they keep tho birds from wasting the food whioh they are apt to do salt is an occasional luxury to them and pravel is necessary as it assists them in digesting their food j they are also fond of peaking at olu mortar when pigeons get slok they indicate it by a loss of flesh by refusing food by sittiog in a moping way wlthlheir feathers puffed cue and their wings dropping in moat cases want of oleaninss proves to be the cause and the best remedy is to fumigate the feathers with tobacco smoke to kill the ver min pigeons are sub j tot to a disease call ed the roop the wet roop is caused by dampness it is a bad cold and two or three peppercorns every other day is a good rem edy the dry roop is tho wet roop with a cough added for which oloves or garlic is a remedy j another disease is the canker which occurs when the birds fight and peck ach other the exposed sore spots should be rubbed every day with a salve made of honey and burnt alum when pigeons are generally out of health whioh is likely to be while monltjrg a little stimulating food like hemp seed will be good for them keep them warm and dry while they are changing their feathers and put saffron and old rusty nails in the water they drink- philadelphia prers with
