gull became more miserable.
Bobby spoke of it again, but I

Just then Bunny. who had been

reason why that bird can't get
away. He can't fly from the

From a school girl have just
taken a lesson on canaries, and
have learned the following:
The parent birds raise three
broods per season, aoutb five
weeks apart. y
each time, and fifteen is the aver
age increase for the season.
Five to seven eggs are brooded
The male feeds the female
while she is sitting on the eggs
and he takes her place while she
goes out for exercise.
The mother bird feeds the
young, but she first chews the
food and makes a gum" of it.
When building her nest the
mother will pull feathers out OF
the wings and tails of her last
brood, If such are in reach.
It requires fourteen days to
hatch a brood and in six weeks
these are practically grown and
taking singing lessons from their
father.
The male bird is rather moro
attractive than the female, wears
brighter colors and does all the
singing.
The price Of a pair of canaries
may be $40 and up to any sum,
depending on the quality. Breed
ing these pets may be made a
