The moulting season begins in September and continues about six weeks. Birds that moult out of season do so from weakness or from having caught cold by COMFORT. MISERY, being kept in an Uneven temper- ature or the cage is placed in a draft. The engravings numbered i and 2 will furnish an ocular demonstration of how easy it is to inflict constant punish- ment on a bird bone by having a cage which is fitted up with unsuitable BREEDING CANARIES. Canaries may be mated during the months of January, February, March, April, and May. The breeding cage shown in the engraving is a most excellent style. It is made of walnut, with tinned wires; and the price with nests, hair, and everything ready for breeding, is The long breeds of Canaries require a somewhat higher cage, which is worth In mating a pair of Canaries all that is necessary is to put the male and female together in a breed- ing cage and hang it in some quiet corner, about five feet from the floor. At first the male may fight with the female, or vice versa, but this quarreling isusually of shortdurat on, and they will soon settle quietly down to the routine of bird housekeeping. There should always be placed in the mating-cage a piece of cuttle-bone for the formation of shell, or the hen may lay soft-shell eggs. There is also required deer's or cow's hair for the construction of the nest. To the seed diet of the mated birds, should be added hard-boiled egg and cracker, rolled fine; or our Nestling Food, a little each day. If the birds have access to Bird Manna, they will feed it to their nestlings, and a more rapid growth will result, and a wonderful decrease in the number ol deaths will be noticed. Please note tha
