FANTAIL PIGEONS 
A garden without birds loses much of its charm. Unfor¬ 
tunately wild birds are not always in evidence when we 
have a few minutes to enjoy our gardens. Therefore, 
nature-lovers all over the country are coming more and 
more to realize the pleasure that can be derived from a few 
pairs of really good pigeons. 
An artistically built dove-cot placed agiainst a building or 
set atop a post is an ornament to any garden- Great care 
should be taken, however, that the house is out of reach of 
cats and dogs. Pigeons seem to be impervious to cold but 
must have a perfectly dry home. They eat practically no 
green feed and do not scratch or dust in the ground a* 
chickens do and -so are not harmful to the garden. 
Of all the fancy pigeons, Fantails are the true aristocrats. 
They are dainty little birds with huge tails of which they 
are very proud. They hold their heads very high and fairly 
quiver with excitement as they strut about and their soft 
cooing is a delight to hear. The weight of their large 
tails keep them from being great fliers and so they do not 
get far from their home at any time. They are gentle and 
easily tamed and can be trained to eat out of ones hand 
and come when called or whistled for if pains are taken 
to feed them only in this way for a short time. 
We are very proud of our birds as they have been a 
hobby of the owners since childhood and only exception¬ 
ally fine specimens are used for breeding purposes. There 
is no gift that the children appreciate more than a pair 
or two of these beautiful birds. We can supply mated
