Leg Weakness. 



Sometimes this is due to injury of the spine, but more fre- 

 quently to rheumatism. Injury to the spinal cord does not give 

 much encouragement of effecting a cure, for in many cases the 

 paralysis will become complete. For leg weakness caused by 

 rheumatism remove the bird to dry, qomfortab!« quarters, feed 

 sparingly of strong food and the bird will usually come around 

 alright 



Prevent Rather Than Cure, 



As an old saying goes, *'An oune^ of prevention is worth a 

 pound of cure," This is certainly a true saying so far as the 

 pigeon business is concerned. If birds ^r€ given the proper ca|re 

 and attention and such necessities in the way of lime, sand, grit, 

 .salt, charcoal, a proper place to bathe in, and common sens^ 

 used in making the building comfortable and sanitary you wiq 

 have no more trouble in raising pigeons than you will have with 

 poultry.
