Naturalists do not know as much about
the mating habits Of birds as they would
like to know. They are certain that the
eagles, the hawks and the owls remain
mated for life, and it is probable that many
other birds do also. The study OF the
mating Of birds and their nesting habits
10 Of great interest,
u n is the nest building month for most
birds. A few. those that rear more than
ons brood in a season, begin to nest in
April and May. while the goldfnch and the
oedarbtrd are lazy and wait until July
before they begin their domestic duties.
The nesting season is at It's height in
June. and all the songsters are In full voice.
In July most Of them stop singing, and
people are apt to suppose that the orioles
and the bobolinks, for instance, have gone
South, because they do not hear them
singing.
Most birds rear only one brood in a season,
but the song sparrow, the vesper sparrow,
the chipping sparrow. the blueblrd. the
robin, the phoebe, the house wren and the
catbiTd raise two. three and sometimes
as many as four broods during the summer,
building q new nest for each brood. This
seems to be natures method Of keeping
these birds from becoming extinct. for they
are the species that are most prosecuted by
cats. youthful egg collectors and many
other enemies.
Usually only the female bird constructs
the nest and inoubates the egg. after which
her mate assists in feeding and caring for
their young. But with the house wren,
the robin, the rose breasted grosbeak and
some species Of vireos, the male bird Is a
willing helper in these duties. that is, pro-
vided his wife does not object.
Often you will see q male rose breasted
grosbeak or a solitary or a yellow throated
vireo covering the eggs Of his mate and
singing as though it were a real pleasure
to relieve her Of the task and to give her a
chance to stretch her wings and seek her
food. Johnny House Wren is another
bird who does not believe In making his
wife do all the homework. yet it would be
difficult 10 find in the whole bird world a
husband more henpecked than he.

The pure food commissioners of
Minnesota descended upon a shipment
of groceries from Chicago firm which
sent supplies direct to the consumer.
They found coffee under weight and
adulterated, spices badly adulterated
and flavorings extracts wrongly label
ed and artificial. If the law seeks to
protect all people from the effects of
their own folly it will have the job
cut out for it. Education is a slow,
laborious process, and sometimes we
are apt to feel as though efforts in
this direction were thrown away.
Some of the seed may fall on good
ground though, so we shall keep on

The organization of the bank at

agriculturlsts of today. 1t indicates
the rapid growth of the thought that
every community is responsible for the
progress made by its people. 1t de-
monstrates that there is more truth
than poetry in the old story about one
man being his brothers. keeper. The
wheat kings of the Palouse are able
to establish and maintain such bank
as they propose. In doing so they
hold up the farmers of that country
far above the plane of gamblers in

faith in nature and her powers of
production, and bid the agriculturists
