64 PIGEONS AND ALL ABOUT TEIEM. 



As a matter of fact, a pair of young faus lost their young- 

 ster a short time ago, just after it got through the shelL 



Unfortunately, I did not have another of just the right age, 

 so I threw the dead one away, thinking that would end it. 

 But the parents stayed right on the vacant nest and I found 

 the heii still there, on the third morning after her young 

 died. I knew this would never do, so in despair I went to the 

 swallow lott and brought over a young bird at least a week 

 old, and clipped it under her. To my surprise, she cuddled 

 over it and began feeding at once, and it is strong and hearty 

 to-day, while the old birds are contented and building again.
