hardens look these days and for many people much of the hard labour involved in cutting a big lawn has been lightened with the use of a power mower power mow ers hava made lawn culling so easy that even the ladies of the household who formerly bowed out of that lit tle chore have got in on the act which brings us to the point thst power mowers are even more power ful than most women and we sus pect some men loo realise- they sort of lake you along with them some- timesnsymu of vice versa and when thst happens at uneipected moments a toe or a hand can become a casual ly there are at least a half dozen such cases of power lawn mowenles in town right now so a word to the wise a rf minds li that we oilen hear the expression wise guy but over the weekend we saw and beard about some wise birds we happanad to be taking the morning train in to toronto the oth er saturday and while we waited on the platform we noticed about six large crates of pigeons inspecting thrm a little more closely we saw the pigeons all had bands on their legs and then we ssw the big black letters on the crates telling the hour at which the birds should be released could they be homing pigeons vie wondered and so we enquired 0 mo thiv wirint exactly homing pigeons they were racing pigeons so cnk express agent pete uanmng told us and he should know for it s his job to re lease the birds nesrly every morning at the hour specified on the box so that they can fly a race back home the exact hour and minute the pig eons are released is marked on the empty crate which u sent back to the owner by freight you see uiese pigeons belong to members of racing pigeon clubs it s s sport thst has become quite pop ulsr and is becoming more so all the time the different clubs ship the birds from windsor london sarma etc to etgivcn destination after the race home the fastest pigeons are pi eked from the different lots anil raced against the deal pigeons from olhc clubs 0 the canadian national acts as gobetween in these races this service is ofltnd gratis to the racing pigeon rnthus lasts for the business it creates f sometimes the owners request the express agent to send a wire if tht weather is unfsvoursble when the birds sre relessed usually the crstes of birds arne on the trsln thst gets in lrorgclown around 8 30 or 0 00 a m and thi pik eons arc released immrdiatt ly oltrfn the trains arc clear o the station thi agent simply opens the doors of the crates which usually contain 20 to jo birds and out they fly as a rule the pigeons circle ostr the provincial tapir ltd buildings first before getting their si nsi of dir ection and heading back home mr manning sas he has nesir sun one take the wrong direction it and when he was stationed at cobalt a crate of pigeons arrived from ltclle vllle a distance of approximately 400 miles by rail it took them five hour to arrive back home using the cross country route of course thc arc pretty wise birds arm i thi 0 we wondered it the birds would be trained to fly back to the owners house or club or just how the raco would be control led at the home base for timing purposes mr manning wasn t able to tell us that but hes going to give us the name of one of the men who ahip the pigeons so thst we can drop him a line and find out when we do well pass the information on to you 0 when she visited in englsnd last time mrs arthur
