wheat will be found to have swollen
greatly. Spread it over the bottom OF

but be sure it does not scorch. Inc
sparrows will like wheat prepared IN
this way. There is no cruelty in their
killing. Death is swift and painless.
After having killed your sparrows
get ready to welcome your friends OF
the spring.
The purple martin (Progne subis) Is
a housebuilding bird and something
of his habits have been told before. IL
you have a good sized yard, put your
box on pole about % feet high. IL II

raise the house about four feet ABOVE
the roof. You may provide as many
apartments in your martin mouse as
you wish The birds live in colonies
and as a matter of fact with the mar
tin it seems to be case OF the more
the merrier Have each compartment
about seven inches from front TO rear
at least six inches high and fiVe lnches
in width. The entrance hole, prefer
ably, should be made midway between
the top and bottom of the front, and 1t
should be about the size of silver
half-dollar.
Persons who have yard room and
some shrubbery can get the wren ana
the bluebird as neighbors if they Will
make a little preparation for them.
The wren will nest in almost any KIND
of box, but of course he likes to have
things well arranged. A small keg
such as anchovies are sometimes
packed in makes a good wren home.
wren is a mite of a creature, but he
likes considerable room, and his apart
ment should be slightly larger than
that provided for the martin. Do not
expect, however,. two pairs of wrens
to live in the same box, even though
it be divided into compartments. They
won't, or if they do they'll be so busy
fighting that they'll forget to lay eggs.
Make the entrance hole into the
wren home midway between the top

and bottom of one end of the box or
key. Make it. exactly the size of
silver quarter. If you do this the wren
is safe from the attacks of the blue
bird and English sparrow.
1t is nothing short of cruelty per
haps to give the wren too big a box
for his home.
The bird doesn't need it, and the
perch affords a resting place for the
English sparrow, who can get his head
through the entrance and do some mis-.
chief. even though his body is too big
to follow. If you don't like music, in.
cessant music. don't invite the wren
to be a neighbor. He will sing from
a. m. to p. m. all through the nest
ing season, and his last note at night
is likely to have a touch of complaint
in it. that he's too sleepy to sing any
longer.
The bluebird will bring a bit of the
sky to you on his back if you will but
bid him welcome. The bluebird likes
an ordinary starch box for a dwelling
place. 1t is better however, to build
him a box of hard wood and make it
rain and storm proof. He needs
larger entrance than does the wren.

this beauty may be weaving his nest

Plant shrubbery in the corner of
your yard and don't keep It too well
trimmed. Heap a pile OF brush in one
corner. You can make the rest of your
yard SO attractive that people will for
give a bit of seeming neglect The
brush makes a good hiding place for
the birds. Sink pan into the turf in
the center Of the yard and fill Il with
fresh water twice a day. Do these
things and It makes little difference
where you live. the birds will find you
out and stay with you. and II the same
prevail, they will come back

the young of the food which their pa
tent and too timid parents had
brought them; have seen him tear to
pieces the laboriously built nests of
the robin and the wren. He deserves
no mercy and he should be shown
none. If you wish song birds about
your doorstep kill this murderous lit
tie thief with the rusty hinge creak in
his throat, and in the killing make the
world better by the loss of pest and
add to your lives the music of the
birds whose ways are loving and
whose companionship is sweet.
Arm yourself with a small rifle. and
use cartridges filed with a few bird
shot. You won't harm your neigh
bors with this kind of charge, Meth
er will you make noise enough TO
bring you into discredit. If you sim
ply wish to keep your own premises
free from sparrows kill four or five
of them a day for a week. and after
that for some time you can't get one
of the cunning rascals to come within
