There are eight acres in this unique farm the largest pigeon farm in the world. Several houses like this give accommodations for the owner's enormous flocks. He began with about three thousand birds and in three years, besides selling each year near $10,000 worth of squabs, the number of breeding birds has increased to the present figure of sixteen thousand. That "hotel," with its gabled roof covered with gossipping boarders, has inside as well as outside rooms; light inner aisles give access to nesting compartments as popular with the tenants as those you see on the outside. The male chooses a nest before he takes a mate. The incubation period is eighteen days, and during that time he takes a turn on the nest for an hour or so twice a day, giving the female a recess. Squabs des tined for the market are sent off when they are about three weeks old; if kept after they have learned to fly, the exercise makes them lose bulk, turning their first plump baby flesh into tough muscle. The squabs that are kept for breeding take mates when about six months old. By culling out squabs of certain colors for the mar ket, it is of course possible to produce gradually a fairly uniform style of plumage in the perma nent flock The moulting season is September and October. Every week there is a thorough house-cleaning with carbolic acid, sulphur and insect powder, and the hotel guests are kept in prime condition. It costs $15 daily to feed this big family. Twelve sacks of screenings, eight of grain and generous allowances of stale bread and boiled meal satisfy their healthy appetites. They like it here and almost never stray from the home enclosure. Guano and waste feathers (used in upholstery) are valuable side products of this interesting enterprise. From Notes of Travel, No. 6, copyrighted, 1904, by Underwood & Underwood.
