Nice Racing Pigeon Book

I am amazed at how many good pigeon books there are on Archive.org. Of course, they are from the 19th century - but then, again, I am amazed at the quality of the information. The information on housing, feeding, etc. would still all work. Even more amazing, the racing pigeon training information is usable as well. For example, one of my favorites is the 1879 volume called The Practical Pigeon Keeper. It has a lot of nice illustrations and chapter XIX (19) on page 221 is about racing homers. Check it out and tell me: Is there any advice given here that would be considered wrong? It doesn't appear so to me.  There are about a dozen more. I think I'll review them on the off days (if I get a chance) and post links here.
