first. but his breast must help to melt
away the lingering snow before it can
be in keeping with the rich, brown
earth.
Returning together, the bluebird
and his mate soon SET about looking
over available nesting places. The
English sparrow is, at this time their
only competitor; but a severe compet-
ltor ne is. AS cold weather an
preached in the fall, ne appropriated
for winter quarters every Bfrd-box in
TO which he could squeeze: more than
that, he began carrying i'm new nest
ing materials on any mild sunny day
in February. Now he feels that the
box is his both by right of discovery
ana possession and possession is nine
points of the law witt birds as with
higher animals. Unless some one
comes TO the aid of the Bluebirds
they must leave their last years home |
ih the hands of the enemy.
II the bluebirds find a box ready for |
them. they will sometimes begin
building as soon as they arrive. Thew

the box, try the door way by turns. sit |
Oh the front porch if there is one. or |
up on the ridge-pole for while, then |
go off for week or more, returning
for brief visits at intervals to try the |
fit of the sitting room once more.
If all goes well, they begin building
in earnest about the middle of April. |
Sometimes, however. things do not go
well. In their absence, the tree
swallows RETURN take possession of
the box and go to building Then
there is trouble indeed. Tile blue
birds insist that they had the house

possession. They fight ffercely; one
is surprised to see that the mild. tim

progress made upon the nest If it

likely to regain possession. if it is.

another home for they cannot dislodge
the swallows
After their own nest is begun the
bluebirds attend strictly to their Ia

but return occasionally for brief in,
spections of the old quarters. About
the middle Of October they pay fina4
visit then leave for the winter.
This inspection of the box so late
in the fall makes one wonder if it has
any thing to do with the next springs
location. The fact that they do not
50 readily take up with a new box as
an OLD one leads one to think that
the box may be chosen in the fall.
In his habits the bluebird is very
praiseworthy. Three-fourths of his
food are composed of injurious in
sects. While he appreciates many
wild fruits, he does not harm the cul-
tivated ones

AGRICULTURAL COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

Educators are watching with consid-
erable interest the introduction OF count Y
agricultural high schools where farmers
boys and girls can receive training that
will have a more direct bearing on agri-
cultural pursuits. Delaware has not
started one yet but over in Cecil County,
Maryland, the first experimentshas been
tried. This school is situated at Calvert
and has the endorsement of leading edu-
Gators of all parts of tlie-counsy and state.
The success of this school will be watched
from many parts Of the country. Wis
consin has three successful comfy agri-
cultural high schools. New York re-
quires agriculture taught in the State
normal schools. Missouri also requires
agriculture to be taught in the pnblic
schools. Georgia spends $1,000 year in
each congressional district to help IN the
teaching Of agriculture in its common
schools. Maryland is not slow in realiz.
