FOR THE BIRDS.
How to Build Nesting Boxes Fo
Feathered Visitors.

How to Build Nesting Boxes For
Feathered Visitors.
For the benefit of bird lovers the
state ornithologist Of Massachusetts,
DR.. Edward Howe Forbush. publishes
in Our Dumb Animals directions for
the proper building and placing of nest
ing boxes for the feathered visitors Of
the spring. Within the last ten years
more. than 10000 bird houses have been
put up in Massachusetts at Dr. For
bush's recommendation, but many Of
these have not proved acceptable tC
the tenants for whom they We're in
tended and have remained vacant. In
his latest bulletin DR.. Forbush is par
ticular to warn against faults Of con-
struction.
One reason for the failure Of nesting
boxes in cities to attract song birds, he
says. is the presence Of cats, English
sparrows and squirrels. Against cats
the bulletin offers no plan of campaign.
although other experts have recon-.
mended placing bird houses on posts
culN lutu Will CIIlIiSoII tHt
briers of which are calculated to dis
courage pussy from climbing.
To prevent squirrels from entering
and eating the eggs DR.. FOrbush sug-
gests making the entrances to the box
es too small to admit these vOraciOus
little nest robbers. A similar plan Is
recommended in the case Of sparrOws.
although few birds that one desires to
attract are smaller than sparrOws. The
latter may be discouraged from build.
ing in the larger boxes. Of course, by
the removal Of their nests. but bet:
ter plan Is to keep the boxes closed
until the sparrows have begun their
housekeeping elsewhere and to open
them about May l, when the, native
birds have mated.
The entrance holes of the nesting box.
es should be one and quarter inches
In diameter for chickadees. one and a
half inches for bluebirds or swallows
and two inches or more for martins.
Pine wood Is the best material for Il
bird house, as it is light. but strong
and durable enough. Metal or pottery
may be used II put up in the shade.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1914-07-24

The inside measurements Of box for
wrens may be 312 by 3h by 6; for
chickadees. 49, by 31a by Ok; for blue
birds, Az by Az by on; for swallows.
5 by 5 by 6k. The longer dimension is
always the vertical one. These meas
urements are not arbitrary. The boxes
may be larger. but not much smaller.
The swallow box may have perch,
but that is not absolutely essential.
The back board should project two
or three inches below the box. so that
1t may be nailed or screwed to pole,
building or tree. The roof may be
horizontal or sloping toward the 'front.'
and it should project at least two
inches over the entrance hole, which
should be near the top.
Most people put up too many bird
boxes Mt the start. The birds quarrel
for them and sometimes do not nest
mt all. They should be placed ut least
100 feet apart ut first: 200 feet or even
more is better. After the first corners
have settled and have eggs or young
few other boxes may be put up.
Though this hint for the bird lover
may he too late for this year. it is Of
sufficient importance to be cut out and
placed in the scrap book until another
spring.

How to Make a Palm Thrive.

Almost every housewife complains
that 1t is impossible to keep palm in
the ordinary steam heated apartment.
The remedy all lies in its watering.
Once a week the leaves should be
spOnged off with lukewarm water. to
which Il little milk has been added.
Once week also the plant should
be placed for two hours in enough
lukewarm water to cover the pot en-
tirely. This is the right way to water
palms, and 1t will be found that they
thrive under the treatment.

Vitality Of Seed.

Assuming that every care has been
taken to get seed well adapted to the
conditions Of culture. 1t is still impor.
tant to see that the seed is Of good
vitality and capable Of producing
strong. vigorous plants. Great waste
Of land and labor results every year
from the use Of seed Of low vitality.
Poor seed cannot produce good
plants. and poor plants give poor re-
turns or none Mt all. Seed should al
ways be tested before planting and
seed Of low vitality rejected. Some Of
this poor seed is introduced to blend
with good seed so that it can be sold
at lower price. Some of the worst
weeds have been introduced and
spread in this way. The loss from
weeds and the cost Of fighting them
il great and Is so we'll understood as
to need no discussion.
Farmers often buy cheap seed think
ing that they are saving money. when
as matter Of fact they are paying
two or three times as much for the
small amount OF good seed obtained
us they would pay had they bought
good seed in the first place at twice
the rate per pound paid for the poor
seed.-A + Woods. Dean Department

The above instructions on the proper
methods of killing poultry were issued
by the department of agriculture. At
least 30 per cent Of all the poultry
coming into the New York market Is
incompletely bled. Much Of it is so
badly bled that 1t results In a loss Of
from to 5 cents pound, MS compared
with the corresponding poultry which
is well bled and in good order. con-
tinues the department. Aside from
the bad appearance of incompletely
bled chickens. their keeping properties
are very inferior. The flesh loses Its
frmness sooner; its flavor is not so
good: the odor of stale flesh and finally
Of putrefaction comes sooner. and in
every way the product is more perish
able.
A very large proportion of the I'M
slightly poultry in our markets, aside
from the rubbing and tearing Of the
skins, Is caused by an incomplete re-
moval Of the blood. This Is evidenced
by red dots which frequently occur
where the feathers have been removed.
especially over the thighs and wings.
or by the small veins. which mar the
appearance Of the neck. Generally It
Is the neck which shows most plainly
