Excerpt from The Feather's Practical Pigeon Boo Those who are interested in pigeons will appreciate fully this contribution to pigeon literature by the eminent author, J. C. Long, who has for a life-time devoted himself to the study of these dainty and attractive pets. Mr. Long's experience as a breeder and judge of pigeons admirably fitted him for the task, and the publisher is pleased to recommend this book to everyone who cares for the pleasures of pigeon keeping. In this connection he desires to acknowledge the meritorious work of illustrating by R. Clements. The plates shown in this book are from brush-drawings portraying artistic skill and are fine portraitures of the specimens they represent, and can but prove of untold value to every fancier and breeder.
