STRONG DRAFTS ARE
HARMFUL TO CANARY
Songsters Are Susceptible to
Changes in Temperature.

Prepared By the United states Department
of Agricuiture)
Canaries are susceptible to sudden
changes in temperature, and cold
drafts may soen prove fatal. says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. In choosing place for the cage,
direct exposure to strong draft Of
cold air must always be avoided. A
cage may be placed on small shelf
along the wall, or suspended from a
bracket attached to the wall or win
dow casing. Swinging brackets are in
expensive and are convenient for use
when it is impracticable to fasten
hooks in the ceiling.
When one or two canaries are kept
as pets, 1t Is usual to suspend their
cages before window, where the birds
may enjoy light and sunshine. This
is a good practice where the window
Is kept closed during cool or stormy
weather, and the joints are tight 1t
may be necessary to line the edges of
the window frame and the junction of
the upper and lower halves of the win
dow with weather-stripping to prevent
drafts, and 1t is best to suspend the
cage so that 1t will hang opposite or
below the junction OF the two halves
Of the window frame. The room must
remain at fairly even temperature
day and night, and in cold weather 1t
Is well to cover the cage with a towel
or other light cloth at night. A cage
should never be suspended directly
above radiator, and it is best to
avoid keeping birds in small kitchens,
as the fluctuations in heat are per-
haps more marked there than in any
other part of the house. Exposure to
damp air may prove fatal.
The cage must be kept scrupulously
clean If the canary is to remain in
good health and free from vermin. The
supply of water should be renewed
daily, and the seed cup replenished at
least every other day. The recepta-
cles for these necessities should he
cleaned and washed carefully at short
intervals. Cages that have removable
bases should have the tray in the bot
tom covered with several thicknesses
Of paper. or with heavy, coarse-grained
sandpaper, known as gravel paper,
that may be secured from dealers in
bird-cage supplies. This should be re-
newed whenever the cage is cleaned.
and, in addition, the pan should be
washed in hot water from time to time.
Lime on the perches may be removed
by means Of a scraper made of bit
of tin fastened to wire or tackled at
right angles to stick small enough to
pass easily between the wires Of the
cage Cages with bottom attached
should be provided with sand tray
that slides in and out through slot
In the front.

pushed home, making almost posi-
tive contact.
Another use made of the fasteners
is in mounting homemade honeycomb
or spider-web coils. Fasten one part
OF the fastener on both top and bottom
Of the coil form and solder the ends of
the coil to them. The other half is
soldeed to strip of copper or brass
that acts rs the arm to swing them on.
This form of mounting is very handy
II much changing of the coils is made
for 1t works so quickly. A good con-
nection to the end of the variocoupler
or variometer rotor shaft may be
made by soldering fastener on the
end and the other half to a flexible
wire.
No doubt other uses will occur to
the e1perinfenter. They are cheap and
make u good contact and provide
neat appearance.

MUssELs TO BE CULTIVATED
Adequate Supply Of Raw Material for
the Pearl-Button Industry 10
Object Sought.

An Important step toward insurins
an adequate supply Of raw material
for the pearl-button industry is being
made by the United States bureau Of
fisheries, which, for the first time In
history, Is cultivating fresh-water mus.
sells during the entire first year Of their
growth. The activity Of mussel cul.
turists heretofore has been confined. to
getting the young bivalves well start
ed In life, during the brief period when
they attach themselves to the gills and
fms of fish. Now, however, as check
upon the effectiveness of their work,
the fish will be kept In large wooden
troughs until the mussels drop OF. nf.
ter which the latter will be retained
in the wooden tanks for year, the
better to observe and facilitate theiH
growth. The mussels Will then be
planted In their natural environment
to complete their life cycle.-PopulaH

Use Telephone Jacks
for Contact Switches

Another evidence of the cleverness
of the radio amateur is the making Of
a compact and neat multiple contact
switch for panel mounting from or
dtnary telephone jacks. Such switches
possess the desirable feature of taking
up minimum Of panel space. are easy
Of installation and require but one
hole in the panel. Most Of the tele-
phone jacks are constructed with sill.

Bunny's relatives alone. ~
We rode on: The noise grew

eager.
Now we were almost upon him.

AS he said the words around

buffalo. I whipped out my gun

Then we rode up to the buffalo.
Bunny was just dbout to ask her

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
Seeds.
BY AIine Michaelis-

Seeds.
~~<HILE I'm working in my
W. garden on such Spring
time days as this, when
the sky, is blue and smiling and
the breeze Is like a kiss. there are
loye-notes, sweet and tender, in
the tunes the blue-birds sing, and
I see new grace and beauty in the
swallows lifted wing. There are
wonders spread before me in the
meadow, on the hill; things to stir
my vagrant fancy and to make my
pulses thrill. There are spells
that Spring can fashion with the
rapture of her mood, and they lure
me in my rambles by the. brook
side, through the wood. But,
above all other marvels of the
seasons lovely deeds, there is one
that never lessons, it's the mystery
of the seeds! How I wonder when
I'm planting, at the tiny seeds I
sow, how they quicken in the dark
ness, how they brave the clods
and grow! How. beneath the dust
they answer, down where it is
black as night, how they know the
sun awaits them, how they grope
to find the light! Strange. one
little sphere holds roses that will
nod with queenly grace, wooing
butterflies and breezes from some
sunny garden.place. One holds
pansies, one the daisies, gold as
sunset in the sky; but they all are
brown and dusty, all are wrinkled.
dull and dry. Who would dream
some lovely blossom. white as
moonlight, muskysweet, slunbers
In a globe embedded in the sod be-
meath our feet! So wonder as
I'm working when the Spring Is in
the air at the beauty that lies
hiden while old Earth is brown and
bare. Natures marvels wait US
daily, ready for all eyes to read;
but the one that most allures me
is the mystery Of the seed.
