the sight of no other bird. The swal.
low is a countryman No student of
sociology will ever be called upon to
suggest means to turn back a city,
ward flight of the swallow. It might
not be a waste of energy, however, to
devise a method to turn a few of the
swallows to the city, for a glimpse or
TWO OF them. with the engenderer
yearning for the old home and things
bucolic, might solve the deserted farm
problem.
The swallow found it's way into the
hearts and the homes of the people as
long ago as Aristotle's time. This
much we know, for the philosopher
speaks of it, and there is no reason to
doubt that the swallow held his place
in mans affection during the years of
the life of some philosopher who was
as much earlier than Aristotle as Arts
totle is earlier than the philosopher Of
today, if there be any philosopher of
today who may be mentioned properly
in the same sentence with Alexander's
tutor.
The Hermit Thrush.
1t is possible that an adequate trib-
ute to the song of the hermit thrush
is beyond the range of human poetic
endeavor. The poets have not dared.
The song is hymnlike and it has GER
tain purity and .sanctity of tone that
mark the singer as the fit soloist of
the temple in the wilderness.
It is the wild places far removed
from man and his works that the bird
loves. He seeks no audience for his
sinking. We must go to the northern
woods and there wait until the shad-
ows lengthen and the hush of the eve
ming has come down to hear the her
NIT thrush break the silence with his
vesper hymn.
The voice is pure music No other
bird singer in America and probably
no bird singer in the world can ap-
proach the hermit thrush in the melo-
dious quality Of it's notes. The song
would be declared sad were it not 80
uplifting. It is a prayer and song in
one and it seems to hallow the wilder
ness.
The hermit thrush loves equally the
low-lying woods and the forested
mountain tops. It chooses one or the
other for its summer home. The coun-
try folk of the North who have heard
the sorg at dusk coming from where
the wei DIS meet the marsh call the
bird tho swamp angel" The country

roadside. however, is the prevention
OF dust. Dust is the cementing ma
terial in macadam roads, and il it is
loosened and blown away the breaking
up Of the road is fastened.
What the trees do for the roads they
also do for the forested hillsides.
Wherever there are no forests on the
hills and mountains the rain and melt
ed snow rushes off in a torrent, dig
ging out great gullies and carrying
away the fertile SOIL
Where there is a forest, the trees
protect the soil from the beating of the
rain. The roots lead the water deep
into the ground to be stored up there
and gradually fed out by springs all
the year round. The leaf litter absorbs
and holds the water like a sponge.
The trunks and roots prevent the
rapid runoff OF the water and bind the
soil together. The forest is of ire
mendous benefit in preventing beth
floods and drought 1t is in reality a
natural gatherer and storer of water.
1t is imperative, therefore, that the
watersheds of navigable streams and
those upon which towns, cities. irriga-
ton projects and water-power plants
depend for their supply should be for
ested.
The greatest value Of Arbor day lies
in its effect upon our attitude toward
the trees that are already growing, for
manifestly there are thousands of
trees of natural origin to every one
planted by man. The average citizen
is only now beginning to care for these
trees, having never before considered
that they needed any care. Farmers
have been in the habit of turning their
cattle in to Craze on their woodlands,
where they break off and destroy the
young growth, trample and injure the
roots OF the larger trees and pack tho
ground hard, thus not only destroying
the future forest but shortening the
life of the trees that are already grow.
ing. The Arbor day student who has
been taught to plant and care for trees
will, in after years, no more think Of
turning cattle into his woodlot than
into his cornfield.

Shady Street in Washington, o. c.

Importance. In Minnesota the white
pine forests were being destroyed
with alarming rapidity and no provi-
sion was being made for replacing
them. After 1875 there was for some
years a check in the spread of the
Arbor day idea, and it was not until
1882 that two more states began to
celebrate the day, North Dakota and
Ohio.
Two new elements were introduced
into the ArbOr day plan when Ohio
cook it up: the way was made a school
festival and the practice of planting
memorial trees and groves was inau-
gurated. These new developments
were largely responsible for tho ex-
tension of Arbor day over the rest OF
the United States. Tree planting be-
came a festival combining pleasure,
utility, and instruction, and one of the
greatest benefits of the observance of
Arbor day has been it's effect in i'm
pressing upon the minds of the young
people the value of trees and the
necessity of conserving all the nat
uSal resources Of the country.
AS school festival the observance
of Arbor day has spread not only
throughout the whole United States
but far beyond its borders. In 1887
the education department of Ontario
set aside the first Friday in May as
tree and f1ower-planting day In 1896
the plan was adopted officially in
Spain. 1t reached Hawaii in 1905, and
is now in vogue in all the dependen-
cies of the United States and in Great
Britain, Australia, the English West
Indies, South Africa, New Zealand,
France, Norway, Russia and Japan.
They Know the Value.
The time of the observance of Arbor
day varies greatly in different states
and countries, being determined some
what by climatic conditions.
A clean and beautiful town Is a
source Of pride to its citizens and a
constant incentive to them to go on
and do better.
The celebration Of Arbor day by the
lplnnting Of trees is the assumption of
an all-the-year-round responsibility.

CPR1NG brings our bird friends
back from the South. Not all of
them, however, deserted us when
the winds began to blow cold and
the clouds to shake out their first bur
den OF snow. A few of our feathered
friends stay in the North country the
whole winter through. They are the
harder ones of their tribe Stay-at-
home and traveller alike are becoming
more and more beloved Of our people
as time goes on.
There are certain ones among our
feathered neighbors which, because of
the sweetness of their song, the beauty
OF their plumage, or the friendliness
of their natures, appeal to us more
than their brethren. or some of these
better known and better-loved birds it
is the purpose to write.
The Swallow.
st. Thomas Aquinas said: Where
the birds are, there are the angels"
st. Thomas, it is true, said it in Latin,
ana the rendering given is bit free,
but it expresses what the good man
meant. The saint is credited with be-
ing a home lover, and there isn't much
doubt that he had the swallows In
mind when he spoke of birds and an
gels in the same breath.
Most of US who have reached middle
life lived boyhood's days in the coun-
try. A surplus of sentiment isn't nee
essary to make one connect angels
with the old home where the trees
were, the river ran and the swallows
nested. The country-bred boy knows
the swallows better than he knows
other birds.

Only about one-sixth az much
ground was devoted to the raising of
tobacco in the Sogn district of Nor

reason for this is that the farmers

land as possible for the production OF
foodstuffs.

folk have paid the hermit higher trib-
ute than any poet.
/ The 7luebird.
When the English settlers in Amer.
| lea saw the loose flocks of bluebirds
drifting over the March fields, the
spring sunshine making redder the
birds red breasts, they called them
| English robins. The red of the breasts
| was responsible for the name, the
sight of it being reminder of the
other red-breasted bird in the home
fields over the sea.
In a few remote places in New Eng
land the bluebird still bears the name
which the Pilgrims gave, but every
where else throughout the American
continent it is the bluebird and moth
ing else. It is one Of the few of the
American feathered species which
manage to keep one name in nearly
every community in which they dwell.
The bluebird is bird Of the heart
and Of the home. 1t loves the COM
partnership OF man and it will build
its nest and dwell through the sum-
mer wherever it is made welcome The
bluebird is sweet creature, for If
there are any vices among it's multi
tude of virtues man has yet to turn
them to the light.
Alfred Tennyson did not know the
bluebird, but it would seem that he
must have heard an echo of it's April
note when he wrote:
And in my breast
Spring wakens, too; and my regret
Becomes an April violet,
And buds and blossoms like the rest.
The Bobolink.
The bobolink is summer reveler;
the bee is drunk with bloom, and why
not he, this bacchanalian bobolink?
There is a sort of delirium in the
summertime joy Of this meadow bird.
His song has been called rapturous,
