daughter together. But it is my 

 opinion the young ones they breed 

 are anything but strong with being 

 bred in this way. 



The Tippler has very broad flight 

 feathers, and this is a great help to 

 their flying qualities. They very 

 seldom tumble, and a good Tippler 

 should not show any signs of tum- 

 bling. The best food when training 

 for a match is as follows : one week 

 feed them on barley, second week 

 feed them on dried wheat, peas, and 

 Indian corn mixed together, linseed 

 tea to drink night and morning. 

 The last week's training, in addition 

 to their ordinary food, you must give 

 them seed cake made in the same 

 way as plum cake, but instead of 

 currants put canary and millet seed 

 in, also a small quantity of rape seed. 

 This will make them strong and 

 robust and make them fly longer.
