There are two methods of i feeding the breeders and no doubt each has its strong points. 1 If the attendant can be with the birds often during the day, he can scatter feed where the birds ■ can pick it up two or three times a day. But for reasons ; which I will explain, I favor the hopper method of feeding. When using the hoppers, they can be filled in the morning, and then the feeding for the day is over with. The grain is before the birds all the time, and it is all ways clean, and does not have to be pickeq up out of the dirt on the floor. When there are eggs in the nest, the hen sits during the night, and usually until about nine o’clock in the morn ing, when she is relieved by the male bird, who has eaten his fill. He 3its until about four o’clock in the afternoon, when the hen, who has eaten, had her bath and a drink of water, is ready to return to the nest. Then the cock has his evening meal. The same program is carried out until the eggs hatch and the young are about two weeks old, when their growing demand for food make it nece ssary for both old birds to eat and carry food to the squabs. If there is food before them all the time, they will keep the squabs filled all the time, insur ing rapid growth, while if they are fed twice or three times during the day, the food will be picked up clean and a part of the time there will be nothing to feed the young. The males eat what is thrown down in the morning, and there is nothing for the hens when they come off the nests. Or if anything is left, it is the cull grain, for the pigeon is very careful what it eats, and will always pick out the choicest grains first. Wheat is the principal grain fed the pigeons. It should be clean bright grain always, for smut is a poison to pigeons. The red wheat is preferred by the birds. (Concluded next week.) NONSENSE.
