PREFACE. 



A knowledge of Pigeon training is 

 necessary to all who enjoy the sport 

 of long and high-flying 



This book is a thoroughly prac- 

 tical one, it being the direct outcome 

 of my own experience and investi- 

 gation. You will find it contains all 

 the information that is required for 

 the feeding, breeding, rearing, and 

 training of the high-flying Tumbler, 

 which is so important in this sport 

 and pastime. 



All previous works have been void 

 of instructions on the important 

 points. I have here attempted to 

 supply these deficiencies, and trust 

 that I have not failed to do so. 



It has been owing to many re- 

 quests that I ha.ve determined to 

 bring all private information to light. 



Pigeon-flying chiefly depends on 

 the health, cleanliness, and right kind 

 of food.
