LOW, CHIMNEY SWEEP AND KING BIRD
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.

When the King bird arrives in the
early spring with his bride from the
south, he guards her most jealousy,
and fights most pugnaciously all 9TH
ers of his kind who come near.
Noted for his fighting nature, the
King bird is entitled to his royal name,
and is also called the tyrant Fly Catch
er, and from his epicurean love of in
sects. he is known again as the Bee
Martin, although far removed from the
Martin family, being really one of the
Fly Catchers.
He possesses no noble qualities. as
without provocation he often allows
Ibis angry passions to rise, and
makes bold and aggressive attacks on
the crow. and often chases away
from his field the less offensive small
birds. Very like the Indians of the
western plains, the King bird never
likes to meet a foe In open warfare,
preferring to swoop down upon some
unofrending neighbor, giving him a

The under parts are white, washed
with gray on the breast. The tail is

built at the end of a branch of some

OF leaves, string, weeds, grass, fine

are creamy white, spotted with dark

If you hide away inside the barn, and

There were three nests under way,
and they were round ia form and the

These birds are very graceful, and

on the lookout for the insects on
which they feed.

very poor quality OF hay or pasture.
Drainage of such strips may be az
complished by offering an under
ground outlet for the excessive water
and the work will pay for itself in ap-
pearance and usefulness at least once
every two years. (4) The drainage OF
pot-holes because of the excessive
depth that is required to secure an
outlet sometimes would seem to be
more expensive than would be war
ranted but ease of cultivation of the
surrounding areas is accomplished by
their drainage and the soils of these
pot-holes is oftentimes most fertile
in character. 80 1t is poor system
of farming which does not justify the
thorough drainage of large marshes
The net profit of tame hay or corn on
these lands as compared with that
of marsh hay commonly pays for the
drainage in four years. Unfortunate
ly, the drainage which has been at
tempted on many marshes has been
enough to kill the marsh grass but not
enough to permit of growth Of cul-
l;vated crops. The results have dem

would not do. Make-believe drainage
