Much rain is reported in the
vicinity of Encino and Duran
during the past week, but there
has been none at Estancia worth
mentioning, although there has
been rain in other parts of the
valley.
Mr.. Staley of Progresso is one
of the unfortunate ones whom
the rains SHE'D around this sea-
son, but he is not one of the
faint hearted ones whoquit when
the rains fail to come just at the
proper moment. He kept at
work, and last week harvested
three hundred pounds of beans
to the acre. Rain fell on the
field three or four days before
the beans were harvested when
they were fully ripe and ready to
harvest. The date of this rain
was ninety-three days after the
last previous rain on the field,
and from planting to ripening
there was not drop of rain on
the field. This is a feat worth
talking about. And by the way.
we are told that Mr.. Staley rails
es buckwheat every year, and
has good success with it. Con-
ditions in this valley ought to be
very favorable to buckwheat.

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

just as q man IS known by the com
pany be 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 It was thought he ate flies which
followed the cows, but recent eXamina
lions show that the birds favOrite
food consists OF weed seeds and grass
hoppers Yet he'll follow the animals
all day, sometimes perching on their
backs to steal ride. You've guessed
his name, the cowbird.
Farmers have learned TO 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 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 naturedness
or the owner of the nest TO hatch the
egg and rear the young bird.
Sometimes the owner Of the home
viii 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 the cowbird by his brown
head and neck and glossy black coat
He thinks he can sing and tries very
hard, but you'll laugh at his efforts
when you hear him. Philadelphia
