THE PHOEBE.

When the phoebe does not seek the
sheltering roof of q house, it often
builds on a rafter Of an old shed or
barn, where it may be seen peTching
on the ridge pole with crest raised and
wings and tail hanging. It may also
be found nesting under bridges and on
rocks or cliffs. When seen, now and
then it cries out hip. hip, or with jerk
of the tail calls phoebe. phoebe. 1t
sits turning its head and looking over
its shoulder this way and that, till spy
ing an insect, it suddenly darts into
the air. snaps its bill conclusively, and
then settles back on a perch, for it is
a fiycatcher and makes its living from
our insect pests. Not only does it
help to clear the air of the flies and
wasps that annoy cattle. but it eats
MAY beetles and click beetles, both of
which injure the crops; and also helps
free the trees of elm leaf beetles, and
the vegetable gardens Of squash
beetles, bugs, caterpillars, grasshop-
pers. and the bean and pea weevils.
When it is seen perched on mullen
stalks after its arrival in the spring, it
is lying in wait for the moth of the cut
worm. In fact, rs Professor Beal
SAYS. cit is evident that a pair of
phoebes must materially reduce the
number of insects near garden or
field. as the birds often if not always,
raise two broods a year, and each
brood Numbers from four 10 six
young" He concludes: There is
hardly a more useful species about
the farm and it should receive every
encouragement and be protected from
cats and other marauders, for it will
repay such care a hundred fold.
