attend the shows in person. In the show room many experiences 

 are related and many good points concerning breeding, mating, 

 culling, etc., are learned. Not only this but you are brought in

 on various subjects and above all you join in a good fellowship 

 that cannot be surpassed.

 the shows. In a great many cases you can see the judges at

 to fathom it the judge will, if he be the right sort, tell you his 

 reason for placing the awards as he did. 



Pigeon shows go a long way toward building up the business. 

 These shows attract a great many visitors who invariably con- 

 tract a very severe case of "pigeon-fever" on the spot. Invaria- 

 bly this means another beginner added to our list and some one 

 will have an opportunity of supplying breeding stock to him.
