W ill give my experi ence how I brought back to vigor a flock of pigeous that were run down on account of overfeeding and lack of ex ercise, which I got from n fancier w h o had become discouraged, not knowing liow to hsudle them, us up to July he bad only Dine young from ten pairs that season. I treated them as fol lows: I put them In a loft with an outside tv la ry, covered tbe loft floor with sand one-half an Inch deep, let tbe birds get quite hungry, and then the first thing In the morning I scattered wheat all over the loft floor. This soon got them to digging over the sand with tlielr bills. I let them exercise alsiut so b o a r In this w ny and then let them out In tbe nvlary, where I kept w ater and tbe necessary griL In tlie evening I gave them a fa ir meal In the aviary, but not nil they would ent. At first they would get Into tbe loft ns soon as possible afte r bring fed, and I put a stop to this by closing tlie lofL This got them to exercising trying to get In, nnd In a tew days they commenced fighting for a place on the drop board* while the loft w as closed. This w as Indeed evidence o f new life. A fte r about ten days I gave them entire lib erty by keeping them hungry, and I soon got them accustomed to get tbelr feed on tbe ground qnlto a distance from the loft and tbelr w ater In the op posite direction as fa r from loft. In this w ay I got them to exercise consid erable nnd soon commenced to Increase tbelr feed gradually, until at last g a v * them a full meal at night, and soon “ pouters commenced to point and fnus to fan,” etc. I got them through molt nicely and tbe next season brad a lot of One healthy yonng from them. I do not wish to leave the Imprcaalon that this Is the dnly w ay to bring birds np to condition. Imt consider this w ay easy and simple for birds that are run dow n on account o f overfeeding and lack o f exercise.—II. A. Maithea.
