Perhaps the most interesting nest OF
this sort is made by the oven bird OF
Buenos Ayres. The accompanying
picture shows g female oven bird and
its nest. !. TIE peculiar home OF this
queer bird Is usually foot in diane

dried leaves, and its walls are about
an inch thick. You will notice that
the nest has two compartments. In
one the eggs are laid and Matched,
and 1t is said that the other is used
as roosting place by the bird whose
mate is covering the eggs. The birds
build their odd nests In most conspic-
uous places. often on the top OF a
post, and usually they will construct
an entire nest within "a hours.

possession of the Stafford family, de-
scendants of the Lieutenant Stafford

70 TEACH FILIPINO FARMERS

The recent appointment OF Frederic
w. Taylor as director OF agriculture
for the Philippine Islands. recalls the
career OF one of the most interesting
personalities associated with the de-
velopment Of agriculture. For this Is
the same Mr.. Taylor who made a
worldwide reputation as superintend-
ent of agriculture at the st, Louis ex-
position, and who has been prominent
ly identified with the agricultural ex-
hibitions at nearly every American
exposition of any importance, from
the irrigation of arid lands to the
reclamation OF the swamp lands OF the
south.
Mr.. Taylor's appointment to his new
post is especially merited, for few
phases of agricultural development
are unknown TO him. A horny-tisted
farmer himself, born in Iowa. he long
ago established an enviable reputation
as a most capable student and writer
in the advancement of practical agri-
culture.

eggs and cocoons hidden away in the

ant hill that furnishes the ant popu-
lation of the following summer. The

PORTUGAL'S NEW PRESIDENT

The new constitutional president or
Portugal, Dr. Manuel Arriaga. has a
hard task before him. When the re-
public was proclaimed in October.
1910, a provisional government was
established and. beset by reactionary
tendencies on every side, It found diff
ficulties in maintaining itself. The
monarchists were active In undermin-
ing it's stability and many of the re-
publicans who aided in the overthrow
of the monarchy became lukewarm In
their support of the republic because
disappointed In obtaining the sweets
of political office.
Not long since the National Assem-
bly, chose a new president and adopted
a constitution. The choice for presi-
dent, DIR. Arriaga. is popular. but
whether this popularity will remain
after he is In Office long enough to
make enemies Is another question.
Meantime the supporters of the exiled
King Manuel are active both in Por-
