B ttm p e r t e n d t p t r t tire ex t r e .) Meet the Boys THE new Ford is a great car to drive because of the way it holds the road even at high speeds. This roadability is due to the low center of gravity, the semi-elliptic transverse springs, the Houdaille hy draulic two-way shock absorbers, and the low ratio of unsprung weight to sprung weight. Come in and arrange for a demonstration. You’ll find this roadability feature of the new Ford as outstanding as its beauty, speed, comfort, safety, reliability and economy. Perfect balance is a great thing in a motor car. They are always on band each year tf meet the gardener for thev k t ow , that he is the man who prev'des their daily rations.

(BY ARMISTEAD CARTER) bird it is somewhat decadent. I thing fanciers are getting lazy, or otherwise, they are not as patient as the old timers that brought the breed to perfection. The great trouble with the Lizard as a show bird 1 b , that it is only a showblrd for one year. After its first complete moult, that is after it is a year old, it loses its beautiful spangles, and each successive moult it becomes lighter in color. This makes everybody on an equal foot ing at the bird shows, as all alike must breed new champions each year. In some of the other breeds the men with the long purses can purchase champions and show them year after year, but with the izard this cannot be done. For this rea son a true sportsman loves a Lizard canary. Great care has to be taken to see that the young do not damage their first plumage, as this is the plum age they must wear at the shows. If they lose a feather or two they are ruined as show birds, the replacing feathers coming lighter, and thus mar the perfection of the spangling and lacing, as the stripes are called, in England Lizard fanciers always put cloth round the perches of the ages they are moulting their show birds in to protect the plumage fnyn coming In contact with anything at all rough. In purchasing Lizards It is neces sary to get young birds so as to be sure you have pure lizards. When the birds are 3 or 4 years old, yoi- cannot tell what kind of spangling they had. At the present time good Lizards can be had in England at 17.50 per pair, but I doubt if they could be bought from dealers in this country for less than $25.00 per pair. I stated above we are going to use the Lizard esnary to evolve the American, whose colors will be red. white and blue. This counds like a fish story to the uninitiated, but it can be done, bigger things have already been accomplished in esnary breeding. It will no doubt be news to many that canaries are now being bred and exhibited In pure white, lawn and white, blues and blue and white, red and black. These In ad dition to all the shades of green, yel low and cinnamon. Blue fawn and yellow has already been bred in one bird. In my book on canaries 1 have explained fully the procedure to follow to produce the red, white and blue. Mr«. Harry Davis, Grandview. Washington, asks: Could I take the male bird away from his mate, she la now setting three eggs, and mate him with another hen. 2. Will the hen raise the young herself? 3. Is there any way to tell the sex of the young birds whilst they are small? 1. Yes. That is the way I always do. 2. Yes. The hen is fully capa ble of raising her family without the help of any mere male. 3. It is not possible for a novice to distinguish sexes in young canaries. When you have handled hundreds of them you get to be able to distinguish cocks by their carriage and perky appear ance, but you can get mistaken at any time. The only sure way is to wait until they begin practicing their song, though young hens will also try to sing occasionally, they do not fully inflate their throat like the cocks. By the time the young are 8 weeks old, the cocks will be trying to sing, and can then be separated from the hens. This week I will discuss the Lizard canary. The Lizard Is one of the most beautiful of all our exhibition breeds. We are going to convert it into the American canary. It already has the stars and stripes, all we need to do Is to change the colors. In the Bible wc are asked the ques tion, "Can the leopard change his epots?” We naturally say no. But with a canary we cannot be so posi tive. The original canary was all green, having spreckles of a darker shade. By patient selective breeding by Lizard fanciers, they have con verted the green into golden yellow, and the darker shade of green to jet black. The head above the lower man dible. and the eye line, is clear gold as the yellow is called, or silver in the buffs. The backs and sides run ning down almost to the breast are striped and spangled, in almost per fect lines. The wing covert and flight feathers and the tail are jet black. The breast is the same color as the cap. The en semble makes one of the lovliest of the canary fam ily. As singers they are very desirable to those that like lots of sound. They are free singers of the chopping style. This style of song Is getting to be the most popular in America. Dealers are asking bigger prices for choppers than for rollers, but the roller will never lose Its popularity, especially among those that go In for EH THE COUHTY COURT OF THE contest singing.
