The itsm of expense is what keeps
many men of small means out of the
breeding business, and there should
be some way, says the American
Sportsman, to remedy the conditions
that prevail 1t can be done, but not
without some radical changes in vari-
Gus lines. Developing a trotter is to
most breeders an expensive PROPOSE
ton, made so by certain conditions
that have grown up with the business.
Very little thought has been given
this phase of the business, but now
is the time to, consider such questions.
No one need think that should more
equity rule along these lines 1t
would cheaper the trotter, for 1t
would not do SO. 1t would only serve
to create more activity in every de-
partment of the business. 1t would
encourage breeding-one of the
things absolutely essential to the fu-
ture welfare and success of the busi-
ness.

 Early last spring a canary owned by 8 Valdez woman made Its escape from the cage in which 1t was confined and flew away toward the timber east of the town. For several days thereaftec it returned each morning to the place o' it's captivity and was fed by its owner, who put out a quantity of seed, but all efforts to recapture it failed.
 One morning, the canary coming back for its usual ration of seed, brought with him little brown bird of the female persuasion, with which it shared It's meal. This continued

 For about three months the owner Of Che bird mourned its loss, when a few days ago, she was surprised to hear him outside the house, where he had been accustomed to feed and, going out, captured him without diff ficulty. A few days later the little brown female, accompanied by several others, probably her offspring, made her appearance and called to her form CT mate, who made frantic efforts to escape from his prison. So violent were his struggles to secure freedom that his owner took the cage into the house, when the bird, overcome by the loss of his mate, dashed himself against the bars of his cage, breaking his neck.
