For each of the main forms there are almost endless groups or divisions that have been developed on color peculiar itles. To obtain purebred birds constant care and supervision, and with any slackness of method a host of mongrels appear. Interbreeding between the vifrlous forms, differing so widely lu color, results In reversion to the original type, which was a spotted or striped greenish bird, certain proof of the common origin of all.

Turmeric, marigold flowers, saffron, cochineal, annatto, port wine, mustard seed and other agents rich lu natural color are often used for this puri ose. but It Is doubtful whethet they exert any real Influence. So far as known all successful color foods have red pepper as a base.

In rearing song canaries attemptlsinade to produce males with clear, soft, pleasing songs with long roils or trills, and no atten- - t eristics. These birds, therefore, are usually nondescript as regards , color and appearance, hut care is taken In mating to secure males that are good singers and females from good stock. Tlie young birds jvhen fledged are put ta- - room wfth bird snored for thelf'soft song, and here, through imitatiou, they develop their own vocal powers. Careful watch Is kept over them, and any bird developing harsh notes Is removed at once to prevent his corrupting, the purity of tone In the song of his brothers. A mechanical instrument known as a bird organ, that produces liquid trills. Is frequently utilized lu training. usually when the adult birds are silent during molt. Ordinarily the room where these birds are kept Is darkened, and frequently the cages the young birds are containing screened with cloth to lessen a tendency to objectionable loudness of song. In six months or less, their education completed, these songsters may be sold or in their turn utillzed in training others still younger. It Is to teach these birds some simple strain or air, through Its constant repetition by whistling or.by means of an Instrument. birds bring high prices, and a fair number of these nd their way each year Into this country. In the great class of exhibition birds perhaps none Is more striking than the Belgian canary. Formerly known as the "king of the fancy, It was reared extensively In Belgium, but of late years Its popularity has been on the decline. In 1911 It was said that few purebred .Belgians were to be found, and under present war conditions It may never recover Its own. The typical Belgian canary Is a large bird with a small head, long, slender neck, large shoulders, and a long, tapering body. It Is primarily a bird of position." When examined It hops upon a perch and throwing Its shoulders up brings the head down well below their level. The back and tall form a perpendlcu lar line and the feet are held close together. , Another bird of position Is the Scotch fancy canary.

The cinnamon Inheritance is transmitted only cinby the male ; young reared from a othnamon mother and a male of any er form lacking cinnamon blood never show signs of their cinnamon parent- a wild state these two forms similar In color and to a e are hardly distinguishable. , Variation among domesticated cans rtes began early, as Hernandez, in speaks of the canary as wholly In color save for the tips of the wings. The various forms have had their origin In distinct geograptilc teas, and though some are almost at present, all at. one time or no-ic- ex-tk- et another have had a devoted following f fanciers.

Lizard canaries are known as gold or silver according as the body color Is. and yellow or silvery gray. The wings back is the spangled and tall are black with numerous somewhat triangular black spots. The crown in purebred birds Is unspotted and light in color.
