crickets. beetles, spiders, and snails make
up the daily bill of fare, interspersed
with raspberries, blueberries, cherries,
and strawberries, which also are fed to
the nestings. The old birds like ber-
ries and fruits and in this way do dam
age to horticulture. They can put more
cherries out of business than any other
known cause.
The White House grounds. though,
are without horticultural settings, and
consequently the robin, and the cat
bird, too. have nothing in this line to
prey upon. and must live from what they
are able to pick up about the premises
About the meanest of all tine White
House grounds birds is the purple
grackle or crow blackbrd He is a quar-
relsome chap, walking around with a
chip on his shoulder at all times. His
pompous, military walk and mean little
eye show the type or fellow he is. If
he is carefully watched at the fountains
in the White House grounds or i'm Laf-
ayette Square, it will be seen that when
he steps up to get a drink of water from
a small pool all other birds stand at
distance until he gets away,
which he does only after he has taken
his own time. If some other bird starts
toward a spot that the grackle does not
have any use for near the fountain, he
quickly stops still II the black rascal
raises his head in menacing sort of
way, as he generally does.
There is one place in the White House
grounds where the crow blackbird can
not occupy all the space, and where
water and bathing room are plentiful for

all birds. That is the large, beautiful
fountain 200 yards south of the rear of
the Executive Mansion. The pool is
large and the water supply fresh and
cool. From the center rises a pretty
stream that shoots up into the air TWEEN
ty feet, with a half dozen smaller ones
at its base. On the outer edges of the
pool are a circle of thirty-flve large
streams that discharge toward the CEN
ter. The birds flock there and bask in
the sunshine upon the stone edges. They
first drink and then dip their heads and
bodies, throwing the water over them
with every sembIance of delight The
blackbirds occupy q space all to them
selves, the sparrows. inveterate little
bathers congregate together, while there
is space for all other kinds without the
timid ones being frightened away by the
fighting chaps.
When it becomes warm enough to get
the water lilies to grow in the pools OF
the White House grounds, the sparrows
get under the leaves, which are lazily
at rest on top of the water, and do their
bathing, free from the naughty meddle-
someness of the grackle.
The birds in the Presidential grounds
are so well cared for that they rear two
to three breeds each year. and there are
from three to five birds in a breed. The
White House grounds are SO full of fancy
trees of the close kind that birds are nat
urally attracted there. Some of the
trees have been brought from various
parts of the world and their design is to
furnish luxuriant foliage and dark shade.
The majority Of the smaller trees have
wide spreading branches beginning at the
bottom. near the ground. and grow grad
ually shorter as they ascend. tapering to
a point at the top. The birds do not
want better homes than in these trees.
Those that like large trees find what they
want also.
