TOR a companion to bring comfort at
all times no pet can compare to the
CHEEKY little canary. This, at least,
is what all bird lovers contend, and
their argument is a good one, be-
cause long years of friendship with
these tiny songsters has proved the JOY in
the possession of such a pet Nor could
any one. girl or boy, small child or grown
mp person, have n canary for his or her
very own to feed and care for and not
grow more than fond of the pretty, bright
little bird which is so quick to show ap-
probation of what is done for him by the
glad song which he pours out in a constant
stream of melody.
That a canary is happy in his gilded
cage is true. without a doubt For gen
erations he has been accustomed TO cap
uyity, to the restrictions of civilization.
and were he suddenly set free he would
find it difficult to care properly for him
self and would miss the good meals of
rape and hemp and the frequent desserts of
bits of fruit which he does not now have to
make any effort to find. but obtains daily
for mere song. When girl has grown
to love her canary and has taught him to
know her we'll she can often let him out
of his cage to play about the room and
to perhaps come and perch upon her
shoulder while she studies, but if she
leaves the door of his house open she will
see that he soon returns gladly to his own
little domicile.
A canary can indeed be companion,
but before he learns to look upon his
mistress as his friend he must first be
treated as being of intelligence and not
simply as a bird that eats all the seed
his owner can feed him and in return
sings continually the song for which he
was bought.

F. OR the bottom of the cage gravel
paper is better than loose gravel
while the white washed silver gravel
is better than the fine red sand. There
must always be piece of cutie in the
cage, for the bird requires the salt. A
bit of fruit and lettuce should be given
each day and song restorer two or three
times week. To make bird tanner
and to become on intimate terms with
his mistress, two or three hemp seeds
may be fed from the finger once or twice
a week.
Not every day, but two or three times
a week, canary must be given his tepid
bath. The preparations for this bath are

he will remain in normal healthy condi-

flesh and blood and subject to numerous

FOR an aviary the number of birds is

cage for which space can be given

and for this pet there must be no econ
omy practised, but his food should be
bought always at a reliable bird store,
The bird must not be allowed to eat
only the canary seed, which quickly in
jures the tone of his song, so if neces-
sary as much as four-ffths of canary
with but one-ifth of rape may be the
proportion.
