WAYS OF THE COWBlRDS.
They Think They Can Sing and Won't
Build Nests For Themselves.

Just as a man is known by the COM
pany he keeps, SO this bird is named
for the COWS which he follows all day.
Why the bird prefers the company Of
the cows has always been a mystery.
Once 1t was thought he ate flies which
followed the cows, but recent eXamfna-
lions show that the birds favorite
food consists of weed seeds and grass
hoppers. Yet he'll follow the animals
all day, sometimes p~erching on their
backs to steal a ride. You've guessed
his name, the cowbird.
Farmers have learned tt value this
bird very highly. He destroys millions
of harmful insects and quantities of
weed seeds. But then he should be
able to do a lot Of good work for the
farmer, because the bird has no family
cares.
Mrs. Cowbird, you see, instead of
building a nest of her own, lays her
egg in the nest of another bird, usually
picking out the nest of a bird much
smaller than herself. She always de
ponds, too, on the good n~aturedness
of the owner of the nest to hatch the
egg and rear the young bird.
Sometimes the owner of the home
will push the strange egg out ON the
ground. The yellow warbler often
goes to work and builds another nest
over the intruder. Other birds hatch
the strange egg. and then spend much
time and energy feeding the young
bird.
You'll know thecowbird by his brown
head and neck and glossy black coat
He thinks he can sing and tries very
hard, but you'll laugh at bis efforts
when you hear him. - Philadelphia

the case of Herbert w. Hands choice of a
profession. Mrs. Chris Hand and daughter Helen,
mother and sister of Herbert, visited him Sunday last
at the Philadelphia Navy Yard where he is receiving
naval marine training, preparatory to an active sea
cruise.
Herbert, as stated in the JOURNAL last week, is a
member of the Drexe1-Biddle Marine Militia, that has
been made a part of the United States Marine service.
The organization is being detailed to the several ships
of the navy for sea practise and young Hand has been
