It's presence about the farm can often
be secured by erecting houses suit
able for nesting sites and protecting
them from usurpation by the English
sparrow, and every effort should be
made to increase the number Of colo
nies of this very useful bird. The
boxes should be at a reasonable
height, say Is feet from the ground,
and made inaccessible to cats. A colo
nv of these birds on farm makes
great inroads upon the insect popu-
lation. as the birds not only them
selves feed upon insects but rear their
young upon the same diet. Fifty years
ago in New England 1t was not uncom-
mon to see colonies of 80 pairs OF
martins, but most of them have now
vanished for no apparent reason ex-
cept that the martin houses have de-
cayed and have not been renewed
More than three-fourths of this bird
food consists of wasps, bugs, and
beetles, their importance being in the
order given. The beetles include sev
eral species of harmful weevils, AZ
the clover-leaf weevils and the nu'
weevils. Besides these are many crane
flies, moths, May flies, and dragon
flies.

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brlghterto-day
than generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's a grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make US wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy mer and women.
If your Children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not a patent medicine
simply a highly concentrated oil food
without alcohol or harmful drugs. 1t
cannot harm; it improves Blood it bene-
hts lungs and Strengthens the system.
