smaller birds to return to their old hannts
about the fields, and for this purpose are setting
out boxes and other artificial devices to serve

the old copses which they haunted, and both
of which are prolific in insects. together with
the stagnant pools which yielded them food in
abundance, are all disappearing before the
closer cultivation of the present time.
