THE ROBIN.

The robin is one of the dearest Of
birds, not only to the children who
remember how tenderly it covered up
the babes in the woods but to the
grown people as we'll
Its cheerful looks and voice are
always welcome when it comes back
to it's summer home from the milder
climate in the south.
The robin is very fond of man and
his home, and will follow the plowman
over the field picking up the worms
which are turned over with the pillow
share.
Not long ago read in new paper
where two men, who, on examination
OF two robins crops, found ITS small
caterpillars in ones crop, and 100
potato bugs in the other. They were
supposed to have destroyed the whole
in one day.
Every year robin builds its nest in
a large tree on our lawn.
The first thing we hear in the morn
ing and the last thing at night 10 the
warbling of the robin.
