Migrants and tramps who are plumber

In the first days Of reconstruction work
was hampered owing TO the uncertain
quality Of labor. Workmen. accustomed
all their lives to follow a certain line of
work, when suddenly changed to some
thing altogether different, find themselves
at a disadvantage, and the employers OF
such labor sometimes give way to sud
den fits Of pyrotechnical nature. So 1t
was with the Jamaican artisan who had
to face a sudden transition from bricks
and mortar to steel and concrete. Owing
to the defective system Of training, for
in Jamaica the apprenticeship system has
fallen into disuse and there are no In
dustriaI or technical scholars, the supply
of trst-class artisans was, at the best of
times, deficient and unreliable.

change his farm from low production
of hay to that of nearly three tons an

succeed. Perhaps we make a little by
trying, but the hay question hasn't

OUR USEFUL SONGBIRDS

One item in the wealth of the coun-
try that is seldom considered is the
value of song birds. Some may say
this is purely sentimental and that
the pleasure their songs and bright
colors give, cannot be reckoned in
dollars and cents. Nevertheless, it
is not difficult to show that the birds
have an actual money value.
In his war against insects mans
most valuable ally is the bird. The
greater number OF birds live on in
sects. Even those which live on
seeds when fully grown, are fed on in
sects while in the nest. AS young
birds grow fast, it takes many a
worm to satisfy their hearty appe-

A feature of the warfare of bird on

carried on. Nothing Is haphazard, but
each species of bird has its own field

winter, when there seems to be no &C
tivity on the part of the insects, one
might expect the birds to take a rest
but there is no cessation in the work
of those which live on insects found
on the bark Of the trees.
Watch a flock of chickadees. They
alight in a tree and examine each
twig for grubs or eggs, the little black
eyes rarely missing a mouthful of

side may not escape inspection. Nut
matches and brown creepers explore
the trunk and with their long, sharp
bills dig many an insect from its win

sentative of his family. His bill is

that only few species of hawk touch
