a great success and he took some
very interesting pictures OF domestic
scene sin birddom.
During the early summer a pair OF
blue birds nested in n of Mr.. Buck
ley's bird houses. In due time they
took their young out on the lawn TO
learn to fly. While they were alb
sorbed in this interesting pastime a
pair of woodpeekers reconnoitered
near the temporarily empty house.
Mr.. Woodpeeker was for taking it,
and his mate acquiseed. 1t was
theirs. In a few days a pair of blue
birds returned to their erstwhile
home. A red head was stuck saucily
out at them and they flew away,
%chattering solemnly over the catas-
trophe, but acknowledging defeat.
Now Mr.. Buckley is hurrying to
make another bluebird house so that
his friends will not go elsewhere to
live. 1t is often a good deal OF trou-
Bile, keeping ones tenants satisfied.

The interior of the cabin showed that
Bin Tubbs had apparently been merely
camping out in his new quarters with
out regard to the decencies. But Drake
was not squeamish after his long trip
and shared a drink with his host. A
few words served to put the situation
before him.

resolved TO shift the burden to Wilker

were In no humor for words. They
demanded food and wages.
At last he saw that he must do
something Immediately. He called
some of the leaders into the Office and
with apparent ~frankness told them he
had known nothing Of the situation
and that he felt sure Wilkerson vas
unaware of 1t.
What are yon going to do?" came
the demand.

bird boxes are of paramount impor-
lance in attracting birds to any par
ticular region. There is too often
danger in the exposed, or inadequate
ly protected, nest-danger to the
mother bird while she is sitting, and
danger to the birdlings when they
come.
Mr.. Nichols experienced such in
slant success with his cigar box wren
houses and starch box bluebird
houses that he decided to try some
thing more artistic than these, and
perhaps more sanitary. So he wrote
to eastern concerns that make bird
houses. He had them send samples,
which he placed about his own lawn
and in the sales office of the district.
In a year a thousand of these pretty
bird houses have been purchased by
residents of the district at the price
paid for them by the management,
not counting the freight. The trou-
BILE and slight expense have been
much more than compensated for by
the returns in song birds. For today
there are fifty birds where last year
there were ten.
The entire addition is musical. The
gladness of the glad %Pollyanna pales
before the gladness OF the dawn
hereabouts. Mr.. Wren steps forth
from his small doorway, size of a
quarter and begins to bubble forth
his greeting of the day. Cousin Blue
bird appears at his doorway, pattern
ed precisely to the size of a 50-cent
piece, and sings so sweetly that you
gaze and wonder how anything so
like a blue flower can make a sound
so sweet. Almost rs pleasing to the
eye is the purple martin, who bursts
forth his 2-inch doorway with a ring
ing challenge to the day. The song
of the purple martin is the most mus
zeal of all the bird pets that seek
sanctuary in the little houses. He
vies with the brown thrush and rob-
in, who are not afraid to nest in the
trees, and not one of all of these but
earns it's keep every day in the in
sects they destroy.
Coax the birds into the yards and
the trees will bless you. The cut
worms will disappear and for that
the cucumber vines will give back
rich returns. The melon beetle will
take wing down the throat of some
flicker or martin, and your hybrid
melons Will take the place Of empty
hills
