THE PIGEON-NET 



One of the necessary Implements of the 

 pigeon plant is a net for catching pigeons. 

 Take a stout broom-handle to a blacksmith and 

 get him to weld a thick iron hoop eighteen 

 inches in diameter and fit it into the handle. 

 Many people sew strong netting to this, but I 

 found netting injured the pigeons' wings and 

 two flour sacks sewed together and gathered at 

 the bottom was much better. The pigeon raiser 

 soon becomes very expert in catching pigeons 

 on the fly.
