Nhlp* HIh Output Weekly for Hotel*) and IlodpitaU. (Abbeville Press and Banner) C. I). Brown, Jr.,. is one of the few pigeon farmers in this section of tho state. There aro only about 12 in the whole state. For tho last two years Mr. Brown, helped and encour aged by his father, has built up this business until now ho haH a substan tial start of seven pens with an av erage of 50 pairs of birds to each pen with a fino record of whipping Tuesday of evory week. Few people in Abbeville know of Mr. Brown's birds and it watt a pleas ure and a revelation to a Press and Banner reporter to bo shown over thtmi ono day last week. Tho bird cages are on the back of the lot at the Mairt street residence of Mr. Brown. The cagos are weather boarded rooms about 16 by 15, the walla of which are lined with sholvos Kuitnble for tho nests;** The nests are separated by a partition and each con tains two nesting bowls, made of earthen ware and about the sixo of an old fashioned tin washpan. To tho front of the nesting room is a runway and joining this is a wire eage with rests where the birds como for fresh air and sunshine. Mr. Brown raises only two varie ties of birds, tho Carneaux, both the fancy and the utility bird, and the white Mondane, which produces a large squab but not so many as the A snuffy cold ? MENTHOLATUM clears the noee passages other variety. The Carneaux are a beautiful buff color with all the shades of peacock leathers on neck and breast, while the MuruUnea are put white with pink tinted feet. The birds average 50 to a cage and cach bird is numbered, carrying his number on a small band around hi* l0g. The life history of a bird in inter esting. The birds are mated when six months old and the mutiny is for life. Should a bird die its compan ion is taken from tho pen and birds in any way related are never mated. When the noats are built the \traw, which is baled tobacco stems, is car ried by the male bird and is arranged in the nest by the female. Two eggs are usually laid and the hatch is made in 17 days. Doth birds take turns on the nest, the male going on at nine in the morning and coming off at 5. in the afternoon, the female occupy ing tho nest over night. Mr, Brown aays there is no deviation from this program- and that a man can set his watch by the movement of the male birds. A squab will stay in the nest until it is a month old, when it is ready for market. The male bird feeds the young. Should, a squab fall from the nest or leave it, It is frequently peck ed and abused by, other birds until it dies. What Mr. Brown calls a good work ing bird will average nine pairs of squabs in a year. The birds are fed, a mixed grain of small corn, alfalfa seed, peas, all of which is grown in the West and Canada, especially milled and cleaned and shipped over the United States. No cracked grain is given and no mash. A bird will average two nounds of grain a month. . A few lettuce leaves will be sufficient green food. The average life of a bird is four years, after which, according to Mr. Brown, they are "good only for soup." Mr. Brown started Wnh only 20 birds. He found it a profitable enter prise and in two years he has accu mulated until he now has over 600 birds. He sells his squabs to commis sion merchants in New York, who in turn supply the hospitals and high class hotels. These merchants are very particular as to the grade of birds bought and require a small lot of feathers left on the neck to show that the bird is according to specifi cations. Should a bird show dark in ?the meat it is not worth as much on the market as a bird with only white meat. Mr. Brown makes a shipment every Tuesday. Tho birds are packed in lard cans, which are, in turn, packed in ice and arc sent by express to New York. The price of squabs as quoted in New York for January was: squabs which would average 12 pounds to the dozen would bring $11.50; 11 pounds to the dozen, $10.50; 10 pounds to the dozen, $9.00; nine pounds to the doz en, $8.50; eight pounds to the dozen, LONG TERM FARM LOANS & "The Mortg-ag-e That Never Comes Due" Farm Owners of Kershaw County Can Secure Loans on Easy Payment THROUGH THK Atlantic Joint Stock Land Bank of Raleigh ORGANIZED AND OPERATING UNDER THE SUPERVIS ION OF THE U.

The "cull?" are worth about $1 a dozen and are not worth the shipping. At such price* tho supply does not begin to equal the demand. Mr. llrown has had inquiries from Chica? go and San Francisco, but he preters Ni v. York as a market. Hp has np birds fur the local market, which is not Surprising, considering tho price they bring in New York. To buy at this rate, an Abbeville family could date things from "the day that we bought a squab from \Jr. Brown." The birds require constant care arid attention and Mr. Drown does not ad vise a person to go into the business uh a pastime, though so far the ex periment ha i been successful wi.h him.
