insect Eating Birds.

Fifty years ago every farm in the
eastern, middle and southern states
had from 5 to 20 acres of woodland.
These lands not only served many
other good purposes, but were nat
ural resting places for birds, and
served them as safe shelter during
the heat of the day. These primitive.
forests were the house of many spec
les of birds. The writer well remem-
.bers the delight experienced in going,
to the woods in the spring of the
year, and listening to the songs of
the native warblers as they returned
from their winter quarters at the
south. The shrill whistle of the quail
was as familiar to the ears of the
farmer as household words. The
scream of the blue jay rang through
the forest clear and loud. The many
species of woodpecker were watched
with intense interest as they glided
up and down the trunks of the trees.
