50 AVIARIES, BIRD-ROOMS AND CAGES. 



There are many breeders of high-class Canaries 

 who use no artificial heat whatever, beyond just what the 

 room derives from the warmth in the house; exhibitors 

 of some varieties, how r ever, tell us that it is impossible 

 to get good results without it. Anyway, it is a matter 

 in which a fancier must use his own judgment. But 

 for an outside building it is necessary to have the means 

 of warming it if occasion should require. Our climate 

 is so fickle that we may get cold cutting winds in the 

 early summer, just when our hopes are highest, or we 

 may get damp raw weather when our best birds are full 

 in the moult; a little heat to turn on at occasions like 

 these saves us a good deal of anxiety, and possibly loss.
