Mace (Hastings) the wellknown canary judge,. has 23 young Norwich on the perch, and from reports to hand there are some very fine. amongst them. He has two ■. buff heavily . variegated, which /should <rive a good accdtint of themselves on ; . the show bench. His. hens have comineuced the secqnd round. ■ ’/ ■ Mr. R. Forster is another Hastings fancier who has some very fine Budgerigars, including Colbarts and. Blue r . breds. With his two roupds lie has reared 23 youngsters, and there are some exceptionally ■ good 'specimens :. to be. seen amongst them and so far, he has . had - little hick with:, his . : . canaries, his hens having broken up ’ ; their nests. ; • '•// ’• _ From reports to hand canary fanciers, ■•//■ in the Wellington and Palmerston North - districts have, so far -had a very bad K season, having been troubled with clear eggs and dead in shell. No doubt much of the trouble has been due to .the inclement weather Experienced during the ■ breeding- season. . A PROMINENT BREEDER. / -■ A few days. ago-.I called on-Mr. Hal*» . /•/■ rison, Grey Lynn, and spent quite an interesting time inspecting his stock of Leghorns, Langshans and • White ; Run- . ners. During the past show season I had the pleasure of judging several of his exhibits and was so impressed with /. : them that I. decided to pay a. visit to ~ his yards. Needless to say. I was not disappointed, as everywhere I found' quality supreme. -Mr. Harrison -is a stickler for both type.and stamina. has- no weak Chickens; j immediately they are located: there isi iqurder. To those who arc tempted to persevere with a weak chick ,'his_a<dvice is . “don’t.** '. . That his birds are money-makers is , attested by their many successes in ths laying tests. Although Mr.' Harrison had finished breeding* operations hia . pens were still mated up and I had, . •. therefore an opportunity of inspecting ’ ' the breeders. It was plain to see that ■ •‘wasters” are not tolerated' in any of / the breeding pens. Judging from th® . appearance, of the chickens running / / about', .there is no doubt birds from the Grey Lynn yards vvill be. much-in evidence during the next 12 months.. Mr. -yi Harrison’s successes with White Ruq- '■ ners as with White Leghorns and. Langshans, are many: He,' however, does not believe in all runner and no duck. Space will not.permit. of my enumera- ■ tingj the. many championships; cups and special prizes- won by birds from these yards; they are legion. ‘ ■' ■•/ / • A \AIrMcwmianiiwiuui -n 1 iwt ■i—mi iiiwwfihiiiwm!— ——' sy /■'■-•.■T.'-ii
