Birds may be attracted about the
homestead by furnishing them with an
abundance of food. It is important to
note that an ample supply Of food
prior to and during the nesting season
tends to increase the number of eggs
laid and also the number Of broods
In a season. Bird food may be sup
piled in two ways-by planting trees,
shrubs and herbs which produce seeds
or fruits relished by birds, and by ex-
posing food in artificial devices. The
most familiar phase Of the latter
method is winter feeding.

QUESTIONS TO Determine BE-
FORE BUILDING HOUSES.

Before erecting birdhouses one
should first determine the kind of
birds to which his premises are adapt
ed. The question usually next aris-
ing is as to the number of birds that
can be accommodated. Unless grounds
are large, 1t is generally useless to ex-
pect as tenants more than a pair of
each species, except martins, accord
ing to the United States Biological
survey. However, the singular intol-
erance shown by most birds during the
breeding season to others of their
kind does not operate between those
of different species. A dozen differ
ent kinds Of birds will pursue their
several modes of hunting and raise
their families on the same lot, but
rarely two of the same sort. OF all
our native house birds, martins alone
are sociable.
Birds Are Tolerant.
The fact that birds are more tol-
Grant toward strangers than toward
relatives was well illustrated by an
observation made recently in New
Mexico. A one-story Toulouse ten
feet square had nailed to three cor
ners Of it's roof rough birdhouses made
from packing boxes. One was occu-
pied by violet-green swallows, another
by western bluebirds, and the third
by English sparrows. A still more re-

possible bird population on any given
tract must be taken into consideration.

decided upon, the selection of sites is
in order, for the lite often decides the

The methods Of making these sup
plies available to birds are as varied
as the dietary itself. A device very
commonly used is the food tray or
shelf Gig. u. This may be put on q
tree or pole by window or at some
other point about building, or strung
upon wire or other support on
which it may be run back and forth.
The last device is useful in accustom-
ing birds to feed nearer and nearer
q comfortable observation point. A
fault with food shelves is that wind
and rain may sweep them clean and
snow may cover the food. These de-
fects may be obviated in part by add
Ing raised edge about the margin
or by placing the shelf in the shelter
Of a wall or shielding it with evergreen
branches on one or more sides.
Feeding devices not affected by the
weather are preferable. An excellent
one is a coconut with hole bored

other food mixture, and the nut is
suspended by wire from a limb. The
stze Of the hole regulates the cfarac-

style OF house that is to occupy 1t. In
the final placing Of birdhouses, care
should be taken to have them face
away from the winds prevailing in
stormy weather. The strongly devel.
oped homing instincts of birds can be
relied on to attach them to the neigh
borhood where they first saw the light,
and the identical pairs which nest in
the house provided for them one year
will often return the next season to
enjoy the same bounty and protection.
Location Of Houses.
The location Of birdhouse or food
shelter has much to do with its sue
cess. for the reason that birds have
decided notions as to proper sur
roundings for dwelling. Martins
prefer to breed near houses, but not
within 20 feet Of trees or buildings.
Bluebirds are inclined to select or
chards or pastures having scattered
trees. Wrens, thrashers and catbirds
live in thick shrubbery. Robins like
trees with sturdy trunks and branches.
T1tmice, nuthatchso and most Of the
woodpeckers are woodland species, al
though fickers and red-headed wood
peckers are more 1T home among the
scattered trees a roadsides and pas
lures. Song spaIFows frequent weedy
swales and brush fences. Swallows
do not enter woods, so that a house
would be as attractive to them in ono
open place as another. The eastern
phoebe, the black phoebe and the
house finch, while not limited to the
haunts Of man, are not1ceably partial
to them. Crested fycatchers, screech
owls, barn owls and sparrow hawks
are governed more by convenience
than by taste; although normally in
clined to hold aloof from man, they
have In many instances reared their
broods In close proximity to dwellings.
Barn owls, true to their name, accept
without hesitation suitable quarters In
buildings.
