voters the question of abolishing the

sors agreed to cooperate in the plan
through the circulation of similar pc.

In addition to the reports of the
committees on mine taxation and
lands and improvements. the assess
ors adopted the recommendations of
the livestock committee for the fixing
of valuations on stock. The report re.
commended the following valuations:

when obtainable. are perhaps the
best attraction that can be offered
most house birds in tn breeding sea
son. BY carefully fitting such
branch to fruit or shade tree its
foreign origin will scarcely be noticed.
+. A good house may be made from
log or large branch, followed by de-
cay, II it is fitted with a top and bot
tom. The cover should be put on
after the log is fastened into place.
Either the top or bottom should be
removable. Another way of making
log house is to split a straight
grained log two feet or more in length
through the middle and then to cut
out cavity with gouge. The exca-
vations in the two halves can be
made to match exactly by means of n
pattern or template having the size
and shape desired for the proposed
cavity through the plane of cleavage.
The top of this house should be COW
cred with tin or zinc to keep out
moisture. The halves should be fas-
tened together to be taken apart and
cleaned. Phoebes like to nest about
buildings, and simple shelf under
the roof of IA porch or shed is all they
require.

The number of house birds may be
still further augmented as time goes
on. All of the commoner woodpeck-
ers are likely to be included. as are
several OF the small owls and wrens,
ana few of the wild ducks, as the
soiden-eye. The wood duck is already
hho"n to use nesting boxes. Houses
set close to streams in the western
mountains will probably be occupied
by ouse!s or dippers Florida grackles
sometimes breed in flicker holes and
may be expected to occupy houses
now and then. In every locality hav-
ing trees there is group of birds
ready to appropriate houses when
they have the opportunity.
House birds differ decidedly in their
requirements. For those which usu-
ally excavate homes for themselves,
the diameter for the entrance and the
depth and diameter of the cavity
must be in accord with their specific
standards. Some birds are satisfied
with almost any sort of lodging.
bluebirds and wrens, for example, are
content to build in tomato cans, al
though chickadees and nuthatches
disdain them. Wood is a better build.

ware. Entrance holes should be coun.

provide for proper ventilation a row

lower than the entrance, and Joints
should be made tight. as drafts of air
are dangerous. In case there is dan
ger that rain may be driven in through
the door. small drainage hole, which

made in the middle OF the floor.
The appearance and durability OF
houses are improved by coat OF
paint. neutral shade of green or
gray is suitable for houses mounted
in trees, while those on poles. being
conspicuously placed, lend them
selves tremendously to the landscape
when painted white.
Possibilities in the way of impro-
vising bird houses with very little work
are suggested in this article. Ordi-
nary tomato cans arranged as nests
will quickly be tenantod by wrens and
bluebirds. The cans ought always to
be placed in shaded places. as the
metal becomes very hot in the sun.
Bird houses in the southern states
have long been made from gourds.
The entrance is in the side and "A

figure 4. A piece of wire through the
neck for mounting it completes the
house. A number of gourds thus pre-
pared and strung on a pole seems to
make satisfactory tenement house
for a colony OF martins. Used singly
they are equally well adapted to
wrens and bluebirds. While gourds
are not durable when exposed to the
weather they are easily replaced.
