them on with great enthusiasm, study
ing the peculiarities of their favorites
assiduously, listening critically to their
songs and discussing them with all the
seriousness that is given to criticism
of the opera.
Such clubs are to be found in all
cities with n large German population
in Chicago, St. Louis and New York
for instance, and in many of the small
err Pennsylvania towns. The Green
witch street dealer says the keystone
State is fairly speckled with them, the
number of bird clubs within its bound
aries being greater than in any other
state. Contests between canary birds
or at least the holding of comparative
exhibitions of their power as singers
are not at all uncommon wherever
there are German canary. enthusiasts,
and it is from the members of such
clubs that the importers and the breed
ers get fancy prices for fancy birds.
Americans sometimes work up de-
gree of enthusiasm for canaries, but
their devotion to the melodious birds
never compares with that shown by
the Germans, either in degree, persist
intelligence. The Americans interest
in the canary, to put the case fatty, is
always faddish and feeting, while the
Germans is serious, lasting, and, with
regard to the birds song. of the nature
of true music worship.-New York

German breed, but, and for an equally
little understood reason. their song,
though loud and vociferous enough, is
not nearly so melodious as the German
birds song.
A famous English variety is the
Manchester topknot. a canary with
crest or topknot. The feather foot ca
nary is another variety and those who
fancy any of these will pay a high
price for a good specimen-the range
being from So to $40 for ordinary birds
of any of these types up to 500 for
unusual examples, while the German
singers are worth much less - to
$3.50 being a fair price for a fairly
good Harz mountain canary, and $50
q top notch price for a first class st.
Andreasberg roller.
The Belgians produce canaries with
what is called the Belgian shoulder"
whose necks are unduly developed. as
most bird lovers think, but TO the great
admiration of the Belgians. The Scotch
fancy canaries develop graceful
curve between the tip of the tail and
the top of the head that has almost
the exact sweep of the crescent. There
are other fancy varieties of canaries,
none of which are bred in great num-
bers or valued much except by a few
specialists, but all of which are held
at higher figures by those who like
them than the singing birds generally
are by anybody.
Nobody else loves the canary as the
German does; nobody else rears or
teaches the bird so skillfully and low
ingly as he, and a very large proper
ton of the canaries imported to this
country are bought by German-Ameri-
cans.
Both here and in the old world the
Germans form bird clubs and carry

r efndp5 tnere Is q climatic reason Tor
HarZ mountain birds TO be stronger
and more melodious than others; per-
haps the breeders there learned the
business better than other breeders
250 years ago when the birds were
first taken to Europe; perhaps it just
happened 50. At all events, there are
not only more Harz mountain ca
naries than any others, but they are
the best in everything but SIZE color
and freakishness; st. Andreasberg,
whence came the famous full roller
songsters, is in the Harz mountains.
Inasmuch as the HarZ mountain
breeders have to supply the demand
for canaries in all parts of Germany
and some other European countries as
well as the chief part of the American
demand, it is probable that nearly a
million birds are bred there every
year. Oddly enough, while the raising
of canaries is one of the leading indus
tries of the region, no one is under
stood to be devoted exclusively to
canary breeding. Nearly all classes of
people breed canaries-the butcher, the
baker and the candIestick maker; the
farmer, the blacksmith, the miller and
all. The most extensive breeder
known to the Greenwich street i'm
porter breeds only 700 or 800 a year.
while many breed only a few each, so
there must be thousands and thou
sands of breeders.
The German canaries begin to reach
this country early in August, and the
shipments continue all through the fall
and winter, the heaviest of them COM
ing in November and December, just
in time for the birds to be useful as
holiday presents. Importation stops in
March for the year.
The birds reach this country at ages
ranging from a few months to O year.

THE GERMAN CANARY
STRONGER AND MORE MELODIOUS
THAN ANY OTHER VARIETY.

Nearly n Million of the Birds Bred
In the Harz Mountains Every Year.
Almost All Glasses of People There
Are In the Business.
Nearly all the caparies imported into
America are from Germany A Green
witch street bird dealer of New York
imports from 10000 to 10000 canarieS
a year, and estimates the total Ameri-
can importat1ons of the melodious lit
tie creatures at about 10000 annually.
Everything considered the German
canary birds are more satisfactory to
most people than those bred anywhere
else. They are not so hardy in this
country, perhaps. as the American
bred; they are not so large and good
looking as the English or Scotch va
rieties, nor so freakiIy snowy as those
raised in Belgium. But of all canaries
the German bred sing most satisfacto-
rily, and as ninety-nine in n hundred
buyers of birds want them for their
songs, the bulk of the business is in
German birds.
The canary was first found wild in
the islands of the same name, though
whether the islands were named from
the bird or the bird from the islands
nobody knows. Today, though canary
birds still fly about in freedom among
the tree branches of the Canary and
the Madeira islands, many thousands
more are bred in Germany than any
where, probably than everywhere, else.
And for some reason most German
canaries are bred in that part of Ger
many known as the Harz mountains.

Inc younger ones have not been taught
to sing of course. and really are not
wanted by American dealers as a rule
for teaching them to sing is a tedious
operation. No importer likes to refuse a
consignment of young birds with the
demand as great as it is. however, for
fear some other dealer will get them.
AS practically every bird breeder in
the HarZ mountains has some other
way of making a living besides hatch
ing, rearing and selling canaries.
which are thus a byproduct, they are
generally bred just under the roofs, in
the attics, and there kept till they have
learned to sing. Different breeders
adopt different methods of teaching the
birds.
Many a breeder keeps in his posses
sion as long as it lives one especially
good singing bird; the young birds hear
his song and initiate 1t. Others prefer
the canary organ. a queer whistling
instrument whose motive power is a
stream of water from a pipe acting
on a little water wheel. This mechan-
ical melody producer is kept going con-
tinuously when birds are being taught
to sing, and the fact that it never gets
tired or falls asleep gives it one value
not possessed by the living bird.
Some breeders use both the living
bird and the canary organ, only run
ming the latter when the former refuses
to sing.
Canaries are bred in every country of
Europe, but mostly for domestic con-
sumption. English canaries are much
larger than the German birds. one rich
