This department is in charge of Mr. Wheel, opera¬ 
tor of Pet Haven on West Seneca Turnpike, who is 
an authority on Birds and Pets. Consult him on the 
care of pets. 
Breeding of Canaries is a very fascinating pastime. 
German families in the Hartz Mountains have enjoyed 
this work for generations. Birds are conditioned and 
equipment repaired, everything is gotten in shape, 
and on Saint Valentine’s Day, the male and female 
are put together—for their patron saint is thought 
to bring about a happy mating. Two weeks is re¬ 
quired to prepare the nest. Five eggs are, as a rule, 
laid. Fourteen days are required to bring forth feath¬ 
erless infants. In four weeks they are out of the 
nest and mother and daddy are building a new nest 
for the next family. 
We supply all necessary breeding equipment, foods 
and accessories. Also practical books on the subject.

Calling All Bird Lovers — Calling All Bird Lovers — Attention! 
DEAR PATRONS: 
Every home owner should encourage the birds of the wild to make your home their home. 
A few inexpensive bird houses tucked away in odd corners—under eaves, a bird bath to 
provide a morning splash, possibly a winter feeding station for grains and bread crumbs 
and pieces of suet to tide them over during the winter months, our thoughtfulness will 
be well repaid by our feathered friends in double measure.
