MISHNAH: One distances the ladder from a dovecote by four cubits lest a marten jump, and the wall four cubits from the leader so it can support the ladder. One distances the dovecote from town by fifty cubits. A person may not build a dovecote on his property unless he have fifty cubits in each direction. Rebbi Jehudah says, the area of four bet kor, the distance one sends a pigeon. But if he bought it even with the area of a quarter [qab], it is in his power.

HALAKHAH: “One distances the ladder,” etc., until “in his power.” Rebbi Eleazar said, that is, to the right hand side. But to the left he may put it up immediately.

Here, you say 50 cubits. But there, you say 30 stadia. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, they feed within fifty cubits; they fly even four mil.
