THE CATb|RO
He News Life a Cat - Distant
Relative of the Mock
ing Bird

Eugene G. Ford in Sioux City
Tribune:
Have you ever, when walking in
the woods. thought you heard the
plaintive mewing of a cat coming
from the branches of a tree where
the leaves were thickestf If you
stopped to listen, you was probably
surprised the next instant to hear the
notes of the brown thrasher coming
from the same place, followed by the
songs of other birds, until you wonder
what kind of a creature is hiding
there, No. he isn't u knocking bird
though he is a distant relative Of
his, and has some of his powers of
imitation. 1t is only the catbird,
which, although common, is not as
we'll known as lie should be. After
you become better acquainted with him
he will not be able to fool you, for
whatever song he tries there Is always
that soft and mellow tone that gives
him away. His call and alarm note
ysu will never mistake for any other
bird, from it's close resemblance to that
oil the cat.
He arrives from his winter home
about May Three to four weeks Is

ample time for love making and house
building, and by June I you are pretty
sure to find the nest containing a set
of from three to FIVE greenish- blue
eggs. Unless you are accustomed TO
nest hunting, you may have some
trouble in finding HE home, for it is
usually placed where the foliage is
thickest and in just the place, SO it
often seems, where you are most sure
not to look. Seven feet from the
ground is the usual height. 1t will be
discovered that the nest is built on the
same general plan as the brown thrash
er, only smaller and more compact.
The catbird is considered one of
our most intelligent birds, and is very
friendly to man, often nesting near
a human home. He is of a lively,
restless temperament, always spread
ing his tail and Jerking his body
about. The female is a devoted little
mother; il anything goes wrong with
the home it is not her fault. If you
have fruit trees about your prem Uses.
it will pay you to cultivate his ac-
quaintance, for he eats many injuri-
Gus insects, though he may make you
pay him for his services by taking a
little of the fruit, but it is only fair
that he should have a little of that
which he does SO much to protect.
In the late summer you will not
hear much from him, for the melting
process seems to absorb all his energy,
and by the time this is over, about
September 10, he returns to the south
land.
Bird students will be interested in
the fact that Mrs. Sarah Bliven, S07
Jones street, has observed a ''white
robin" She describes it as being
white en- the head, back and wings,
but red on the breast, as the common
rotin. 1t has been seen in the vicin-
ity of Eighth and Jones streets for
several days.
White robins are very rare, but are
not unknown to o~rnithology, several
incidents having Deen reported in
magazines given over to the study of
birds. They appear to be a freak of
nature and lot forming another species
at all, inaslnuch as they fraternize
with the common robin and also mate
with them.

the enormous yields per acre
have been recognized by the de-

Farm management deals with
farming as a business. It's two
central features, from the stand
point of profitable farming, are
to determine, first, what crops
and what types of live stock are
best suited to the conditions pre-
vailing on given farm, and in
the region where the farm is To-
Gated: second, the organization
of the farm in such manner that
the farmer and the labor at his
disposal may find profitable work
for the greatest possible proper
ton of the year. 1t is fact
that only about a per cent of the
land devoted to crops in the west
and south is in fruit and truck
