should be kept in the bottom of the
cage and the bird should always have
access to cutie bone. Hard boiled
eggs should be fed once in while, a
little raw beef and bacon rind are
also good for them. Lettuce, apple,
pepper grass and many leaves are
valuable for green food. All canaries
like sweet things, and also bread and
potato, but they should not be given,
if one wishes to have bird that will
sing all the time.
a There is difference of opinion in
regard to the temperature that agrees
with the house bird. One woman
hangs her bird out every day as long
as the temperature is above 40 degrees.
He sings, but his song is harsh and
shrill Another woman never hangs
hers in draught of cold air and
throws a turkish towel over the cage
at night during the winter and spring
months. She never hangs the cage
close to the window in the glaring
sunlight, as the eyes of canaries are
very sensitive. Anything that. affects
the little body will, of course, affect
the song. A bird we'll taken care OF
will have a voice that is far more
melodious, sweeter, rounder, more
LIQUID, with a greater number of
notes than one hung around anywhere.
1t is a good time now to pair the
birds for raising young. Make
place for a nest by taking a small
paste board box and putting in lin
ing of cotton cloth so it will be the
shape of a nest. The birds will do the
rest if they are given bits of cotton.
In due time four or five eggs will be
laid. In fourteen days the young
birds may be looked for. During the
incu baton the cage should not be
Jared suddenly. The young birds
are often killed in the eggs. Give
plenty of hard boiled eggs, light bread
or unsalted crackers soaked in milk,
and the parents will look after the
young. Don't fuss with them, they
will do better if left alone Some
mothers become excited when pers sons
approach the cage and often break
the eggs or kill the young.
Over growth of claws and mites are
usually the result of wrong diet and
dirty cages. The claws may be trim
med, but care must be taken to take
only little off or they will bleed as
finger nails do when cut too close.
For mites rut clean white cloth over

We make our own sorrows, the evils
of fate,
When we take in our hearts, malace,
envy and hate.
There is good in the world, and we
may be sure
That a heart full of love will make the
soul pure,
When we cross Deaths dark river,
and reach the bright shore
Beloved ones will greet us and welcome
us Ger,
And while it is given to dwell on this
earth,
No matter where may be the land of
our birth,
Our duty to God is to do all we can,
Be true to our country, and love our
fellow man.

Touching on the subject of prohbi-

does the advisability Of permitting a
community to decide what laws it will
obey and what ignore and nullify. The
doctrine of the state nullfication was
crushed by Andrew Jackson many
years ago, and the doctrine of city
