Mhat the Robin Eats,

In the northern and southern parts
of the west the robin is among the
most cherished of native birds. 1t is
an omnivorous feeder. and its food
includes many orders of insects as well
as earth worms, but IS per cent of its
food is derived from vegetable matter,
the principal item being fruit. The
general usefulness of the bird is such,
however, that protecting orchards and
fruit should be tried before the policy
of killing them is determined on.

the suo-soil is dry, the recent rains

thoroughly moisten the surface and the
ground is in excellent condition for
