Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem more
severe than any others. But when a
man is unable to eat even a light
breakfast, for years, without severe
distress, he has trouble enough.
1t is small wonder he likes to tell Of
food which cleared away the troubles.

HI o WAxWINe.

~ Looking as though little balls of wax
hung to the feathers of the wing, n
the WaKwing has come by its name,
but, like many other things In life, this
is an illusion. But this popularity, al
ded to the soft delicate coioring OF the
bird. makes a beautiful picture. THESE
birds are often to be seen in the puble
parks of large cities, searching among
the trees and shrubs for insects which
form their principal diet. =,
They are also called Cherry birds"
possibly from the resemblance OF the
red on the tips Of their feathers to little
cherries. but more probably because OF
their fOndness for that fruit. 1t can
not be denied but that on certain oc-
casions, they do considerable harm 70
this fruit, Tut on the other hand, the
good they do to orchards and gardens
are beyond computation. Cases have
been known where an orchard was
overrun with some injurious insect and
q flock of these birds, CHANGING to ar
rive on the scene, cleared the orchard
In a very short time Of all its enemies.
They are sociable birds, travelling in
fiocks of from five to so, though occa-
sionally one may be seen alone, but in
such cases others will probably be
found at NJ great distance. ..,. -.
After the cherries are gone, the Wax
wing will begin to think about settling
down to housekeeping. They Will pair
off, separate from the flock and hunt a
suitable location for their nest. The
nest Is rather bulky and made Of grass
stems and wool, usually built in the
crotch Of a tree. An apple tree seems
to be preferred for this purpose, and
about Is feet from the ground about the
right height. The eggs, five in number,
are blush slate colored, generally
specked with black.
They are probably resident through
he year in the vicinity of Sioux City.

BIRDS THAT NEST
IN THIS VICINITY .
THE RED TAILED HAw

Some people have. a better reputation
than they deserve; others deserve q
better reputation than they have. The
red tailed hawk belongs to the lat
ter class. He is often called the
chicken hawk and accused OF being
an enemy of the farmers hens, and
we must confess that this reputation is
not altogether ~unfounded. He has been
seen more times than one pursuing
these fowls, This reputation led the
United States department. OF agricul-
ture TO send specialists to make a study
OF lis habits; and these. after long and
careful investigation, decided that he
was not nearly az bad as he had been
pictured. He does take q chicken oc-
~casionally, but by, far the greater part
OF his food Is made up of small and in
furious Quadrupeds, such al gophers,
moles and the like. The good that he
does in this way far out balances the
injury Of taking an occasional chicken
when other food supply runs short. In
some places q bounty a been set on
his head, but il would be more to the
point If he was put in the list OF pro-
tected birds. If that is too much to
expect, then the farmer will do we'll
to shoot at him only when he sees him
In pursuit of a chicken.
The fayoTtte nesting places for this
species Is in h deep woods as far
from the haunts of MAJ as possible.
The nests are large and bulky, though
shallow. Sticks and twigs mixed to-
gether form the material OF which the
nest is composed, while grass, moss n
a few feathers are used for lining. IT
10 said that sometimes q deserted
crows nest is fitted UP and used. Cases
have been known where wis n these
hawks have occupied the same nest
during the same season. The s
height OF the nest from the ground Is
between 80 and 10 feet. Two or three
eggs are the usual number, though oc-
c~asionally four may be found. The
eggs vary much both in size and in
markings, some are white or blush
white, while others are heavily blotch-
ed and splashed with many shades OF
red or brown.
This hawk is with US all the year

WALKER VISITED BY CHILD.

-clasped in his arms his seven-year-oh
