40 THE ROLLER > CANARY 
DISCORD AMIDST HARMONY 
When they are regularly fed, they get to know the 
time when the welcome light will be vouchsafed to them, 
as they fidget about from perch to perch, chirping and 
twittering the while. When they have filled their needs 
the little ne’er-do-wells begin with joy to warble forth 
their thanksgiving; the signal is given, the band starts 
and away they go in full strength, sharp flutes, sharp bell, 
Aufzug, Schnetter, and all the rest, and the performance 
is so loud and penetrating that the breeder hears it at 
the other end of his dwelling, and hurries off to darken 
them down again, so that his good birds may no longer 
hear this questionable music. 
HOW TO OBTAIN GREAT PLEASURE 
The best way is to place these throw-outs in a 
distant room, and let them enjoy life. The breeder, 
then, has his pleasure in his better songsters far less 
hindered than when his room contained the blunderers, 
whose faults even darkening down would not completely 
silence. Having dealt with the development of bad 
faults, we turn our thoughts to those tours which bring 
joy to the trainer. 
THE FIRST AND FINEST TOUR 
We will suppose that all the birds in the room are 
bred from first prize parents, and the breeder prides 
himself in the belief that the offspring will be as good 
as their ancestors in quality. 
The birds are healthy, and they make fast progress
