Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

For some years the Russian army has been experimenting with passenger pigeons, and has met with much success. Something like 2,500 trained birds are now at the disposal of the military staff. The principal depot is at Warsaw, and there are stations at all the fortresses. Each station consists of several dovecots fitted up separately, the number of them corresponding to the directions whence the pigeons will be flown. Each station is in charge of an experienced pigeon breeder, and some stations are imposing buildings.
