Father Kingfisher. .sTime to think of

Father Kingfsher is a handsome fell
low. He is of dull blue back and breast
marked with black. His under parts
are white and he has black tail feath-
ers with curious white lines across
them. His pretty blue head is long
and adorned with tuft of feathers.
His nest is not little affair, woven
of sticks and grasses, like the majority
of birds.

a dry limb or a high post overlooking
the water When his sharp eyes spy a
fish swimming below him he darts
down and seldom misses striking his
prey. Then, with the fish in his beak,
he mounts again to his perch and beats
the fish against the tree or post until
its spine is broken.
Father Kingfsher does not look as
if he enjoyed his dinner. He swallows
it in great gulps, dislocating his neck
and jerking his body and wings during
the process. But he is a good pro-
wider. although it is to be hoped that
the little kingfshers do not tire of
fish diet. for they get little else.
The kingfishers are large, noisy and
assertive birds. They dash across the
water. looking like long blue streak
in their swift flight When they spy
the fish for which they have been
watching they dart down, plunging
into the water with sudden dash.
The little kingfshers lie warm and
snug in their dry. sandy hole. No
doubt they think il far pleasanter
than the most daintily woven nest in

the cocks are little smaller in pro-
portion to the lens than with the other
varieties The white Hamburg is but
little known
As egg producers the Hamburgs rank
with the Leghorns. Being small the
expense of keeping them is less than
with the larger breeds The penciled
varieties are somewhat delicate, but the
others are rather hardy They mature
early and can bear confinement 1t is,
however, essential that they be kept
clean, as they suffer more than aay
other breed from dirt and overcrowd-
ing The chief objection to them is
their tendency to fly and wander away
The eggs are white and of fair size.
