In the crops of both parents there is prepared a cheesy substance which they pump into the mouth of the yoimg. On this nourishing " pigeon milk " they grow with great rapidity, and in about five days it is replaced by grain which is softened in the parents' stomachs; this method of feed- ing is continued until the squabs are old enough to feed themselves. The wonderful control of the passage of food to the crop and back again shown in the feeding of the young, is also illustrated in the way pigeons take water. They are the only bird that can drink like a horse, that is, with the head downward. Guinea Fowls. — These birds were originally found in the wUd state in Africa, but have been reared by man since the days of the early Greeks and Romans, who kept them as table poultry. We often find a few of them on the farm, where they help to enliven the otherwise quiet situation with their pene- trating cries. They are very watchful and are pretty sure to sound the alarm if the poultry yard is invaded by hawks or other intruders. Although domesticated so long ago, they are still very wild and insist on mak- ing their nests in secret places. Nor do they like to have eggs taken from it, and they are apt to desert the nest if a hand has touched it. Guinea hens lay a good number of eggs that aire about two thirds as large as an ordinary hen's egg and are more suitable for use in cooking than for the table. The meat is very wholesome and palatable, and the broilers are considered most excellent eating. Guinea fowls thrive on the same food as chickens and generally eat with them. But they are great foragers, and if there are plenty of insects and seeds to be found, they will almost support themselves during the entire summer.. Guinea Fowl.
