A single big gun OF the many now be.

them is proporiionately large.
The report OF experts who have In

FOND OF DUST BATHS.

Some birds use water only. some wa

they preen ard dress their feathers in

rows battle often, both in water and in
DUST. They are not so particular about
the quality Of the dust. The eiiy spar
row must take water bath where he
can get il. Road dust. the driest and
finest possible. suits him best. Par
tridges prefer dry loan. They like TO
scratch out the soil from under the
grass. and fill their feathers with cool
earth. Most birds are foae of ashes.

a field where bonfires have burned. and
see the numbers OF winged creatures
that rise suddenly from the ash heaps.
