The Canary Household.

To insure the Matching Of canaries'
eggs more nearly at one time the first
eggs are sometimes taken away by
the fanciers and replaced by artificial
ones, all being put back in the nest
when the bird ceases to lay. While she
is sitting the prospective father lives
up to his responsibilities and devotes
his time to seeing that his mate does
her duty, and when she leaves her
nest, if she shows an inclination to
daily, sharp pecks drive her back.

trenches round the bushes.

enough to pull them up by the roots"
"Oh, yes, sir" replied the gardener.

offered as factory sites, Noble sinking
