Catbird

Length, about nine inches. The
slaty gray plumage and black cap and

Range: Breeds throughout the
United States west to New Mexico,
Utah, Oregon, and Washington, and
in southern Canada; winters from the
gulf states to Panama.
Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird is one of
the commonest birds. Tangled
growths are its favorite nesting places
and retreats. but berry patches and
ornamental shrubbery are not dis
dained. Hence the bird is a familiar
dooryard visitor. The bird has a fine
song. unfortunately marred by occa.
sional cat calls. With habits similar
to those of the hooking bird and a
song almost as varied, the catbrd has
never secured a similar place in pop

proper place in food values they will
no doubt continue to be wasted in
cooking.
The failure of getting good results
from vegetable food may be with the
selection, for vegetables out of season
are neither economical nor satisfac-
tory; the flavor is usually in inverse
ratio to the cost. The best of cook
ing and seasoning cannot supply the
lack of flavor.
Vegetables may be crisp and fresh
when brought from the market, but
by careless handling are wilted and
spoiled.
In the cooking of vegetables there
are a few things to remember, first
to retain all the mineral matter and
nutriment possible. to soften the cellu-
lose and to develop the flavor, making
them more palatable.
Spinach cooked properly should be

addition of water or very little. This
vegetable being rich in iron which is
soluble in water, may by being cooked
in a large amount of water be nearly
valueless as a food. This is true of
satisfy. green peas and beans, or, in
fact, any OF the delicately favored,
succulent vegetables. The season
ing is another important item; the ia
vor should never be disguised by sea-
soning. Usually butter. pepper and
salt, not too much. is the best be-
cause 1t is the plainest.
To accomplish these results one
may use several methods; cook the
vegetable whole or in large pieces, to
cook with the skin on when possible,
to cook i'm as small an amount of wa
ter as possible without burning, to
serve the water in a sauce with the
vegetable whenever possible. and to
season after the vegetable has start
ed cooking so that the salt does not
draw out the flavor.

such is not the case The adults eat
fruit. but the nestlings, as usual, are
fed mostly upon insects. Beetles con-
stitute the largest item of animal food,
and ants come next. Many caterpil-
lars also are eaten. The great bulk
of vegetable food consists OF fruit. OF
which two-fifths is of cultivated yari-
cites. Where these birds live in or
near gardens or orchards, they may
do considerable damage, but they are
too valuable as insect destroyers to
be killed if the fruit can be protected

of fruit, and the cultivated crops most
often injured are cherries, strawber-

Beetles. ants. crickets. and grasshop-

of it's animal food. The bird is known
to attack a few pests, as cutworms,
leaf beetles. clover-root curculio, and
the periodical cicada, but the good it
does in this way probably does not
pay for the fruit it steals. The ex-
tent to which it should be protected
