effectual than series of houses suit
ed to the needs and habits of the va
rious kinds of house birds.
A few years ago only four species
were commonly regarded as house
birds-the house wren, the bluebird,
the tree swallow. and the martin.
Since the movement to protect birds
and make neighbors of them began,
however. their natures and needs
have become better understood. and it
is now known that many other species
will avail themselves of houses
constructed for them by their human
friends. The practice of erecting bird
houses in this country, while now ma
tion-wide, is not so common and
uniformly distributed as it should be,
nature cannot fail to result in
largely increased number of house
birds.
The habit of nesting in bird houses
has been adopted by individuals of
many species which would not ordi-
narily be expected to make use of
such homes and this may be taken as
an indication that it will become more
general from year to year as facilities
are afforded and as the number of
birds Matched in houses increases.
That western wrens and bluebirds
should take as naturally TO artificial
shelters as did their eastern relatives
was to be expected. On the other
hand, the use of houses by birds
which until recently had persistently
ignored them is surprising and must
be considered victory for those who
have studiously attempted to enlarge
their circle of feathered neighbors.
Woodpeckers. nuthatches. and tit
mice excavate their own houses,
usually new ones each year leaving
the old homes to less capable archi-
tects. Builders of artificial houses
generally go to the woodpecker for
designs, and by varying styles to suit
the tastes of different kinds of birds.

| woodpeckers are willing occupants Of

woodpecker, that sturdy little car
penter. has. in one instance at least,
deemed such a home a satisfactory
abode in which to raise family. Shell
ters having one or more sides open
are used by birds which would never
venture into dark houses suited to
woodpeckers. They have been occu-

when obtainable, are perhaps the
best attraction that can be offered
most house birds in tls breeding sea-
son. BY carefully fitting such a
branch to a 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. IL it is fitted with 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
a 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 a gouge. The exca-
vations in the two halves can be
made to match exactly by means Of a
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 a simple shelf under
the roof of porch or shed is all they
require.

to Pole.
The front gable is open, entrance to
the room below being through the
redr of the upper floor. This house
can be opened for cleaning by lifting
out the upper floor.
Martin houses are built on the
apartment plan to satisfy the social
instinct SO marked in martins but
so conspicuously lacking in most other
birds. They usually contain not less
than 10 to IL rooms and for this rea
son are relatively complicated. espe
cially If they are miniatures of elabor
ate buildings, as is often the case.
Like the single-room houses. they
should be easy to inspect and clean
from top to bottom and, If possible,
should be made proof against the
English sparrow. When a martin
house is exposed to strong winds it
may be advisable to attach guy wires
to corners of the roof. The pole may
be made of a single piece of four-inch
galvanized pipe, set in a concrete base.
In this case the house should be
cylinder and the roof cone.
Each spring before birds return
from the South all filth and litter
should be carefully removed from bird
houses. In addition to the relics Of
previous occupancy. houses are likely
to contain cocoons of insects, and
nests of bees or squirrels. Attention
to this one item Of spring cleaning is
a substantial factor in attaching birds
permanently to their houses. A little
sulphur scattered about house is a
good remedy for parasites. When
bluebirds or swallows take possession
of a martin house 1t is a good plan to
put up a one-room house in the vicin-
ity and remove the nest from the mar
tin house. Interlopers, thus evicted,
often transfer their housekeeping to
the small house. Houses designed for
woodpeckers should always have an
inch or so of sawdust in the bottom,
for the reception of eggs, as wood
peckers do not gather nest materials.
Due attention should be given to re-
pairs. 1t is easier to keep houses in,
good order than to build new ones.
Birds have numerous enemies from
which a careful landlord will try to
guard them. Among ,hese is the
English sparrow, whose persistent at
tacks too often drive more desirable
birds away from their nests and from
the neighborhood. European star
liugs, which at present are not dis
tributed beyond a narrow strip of the
Atlantic coast region centering about
New York, are to be condemned for
their pernicious interference with na-
tive house birds.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1915-05-28
and. in one instance, by a song spar

and, in one instance, by a song spar
row.
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,
and few Of the wild ducks, as the
golden-eye. The wood duck is already
known to use nesting boxes. Houses
set close to streams in the western
mountains will probably be occupied
by ousels 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 a 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.
Bluebfrds and wrens, for example. are
content to build in tomato cans, al
though chickadees and nuthatches
disdain them. Wood is better build
ing material than metal or earthen-
ware. Entrance holes should be coun-
tersunk from the outside to exclude
rain. Heads OF nails and screws
should be set rather deeply and COW
cred with putty. All houses should
be easy to open for cleaning. A
perch at the entrance is unnecessary
and may even be an objection, as 1t
is frequently used by English spar
rows while they twitter exasperating-
ly to more desirable occupants. To
provide for proper ventilation a row
of small holes is sometimes bored
Just beneath the caves, but there
should never be q ventilating hole
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, a small drainage hole, which
will be covered by the nest. may be
made in the middle of the floor.
The appearance and durability Of
houses are improved by a coat OF
paint. A neutral shade of green or
gray is suitable for houses mounted
in trees, while those on poles. being
conspicuously placed. lend them
selves harmoniously 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 tenantcd 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
drain hole in the bottom. as shown In
figure 4. A piece of wire through the
neck for mounting 1t 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.
Ordinary wooden boxes, IL clean,
can be made into bird houses by
merely mailing on a cover and cutting
out an entrance hole. Such make
shifts are rarely weatherproof and are

A NUISANCE THAT
SHOULD BE- ABATED

A good deal Of complaint reaches
the Star Office over the rowdy meth-
DDS pursued by the porters of hotels
in this city, when meeting trains.
Why does not the police committee of
the council compel these men to be-
have in an orderly manner, as in
other cities2
One is no longer drawn and quar-
tered by hackmen and hotel porters
when passed through the union sta
ton in Jacksonville. Timid people are
sometimes frightened almost to death
by these porters and hackmen and
given but little option as to where
they are to go or how they shall get
there, but are subject solely to the
might and power of the husky port
ers or hackmen.
This reminds US of an incident we
noticed some time ago, when a bunch
of noisy jehus and porters were nom
plussed by little old gentleman from
the north, well dressed and as fiercy
in his appearance as Captain Kettle.
Being exasperated by their annoying
manner, he stopped before them, and
making a certain sign known the
world over by placing the thumb of
the right hand against the nose, ETC.,
blating "ya, va, ya," at them. Those
porters let him alone and he leisurely
decided where he wanted to go, while
the crowd gave the bunch the horse
laugh.

OF COURTS WE HAVE ENOUGH

Ocala, Fla, March 27, 1915.
Editor STAR understand that
there will be an effort made to get one
of our legislators-elect to introduce a
bill in the next legislature to create a
county court or criminal of record for
Marion county. This county cannot
possibly stand any more useless ex-
penditures of money and it most GER
tainly can do without any more
courts.
1t has too much court already. The
two terms of the circuit court are
needlessly prolonged and money vast
ed as it is. To create another court
to spend more money, in the present
financial condition of this county
would be criminal, and hope that the
people of Marion county will hold any
man to strict accountability who may
undertake it. Common Sense.

A BIG IMPROVEMENT

Visitors to Eastlake last night were
most gratified, to find that the road
from the main county highway down
to the station has been hardened with
clay, making fine road where there
was formerly very deep sand and a
steep and dangerous hill to climb.
Along the lake side of the hill, where
a short curve is made, the citizens of
Eastlake have placed a solid wooden
railing of heavy timber, capable of
supporting the weight of any vehicle
that might be inclined to skid off of
the road.
