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 arls-
ing is as to the number of birds that
can be accommodated. Unless grounds
are large, it 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 to!-
Grant toward strangers than toward
relatives was well illustrated by an
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-
markable association of different spe-
cies has been reported by a resident
Of st. Louis, Mo-. who once had
pair each of fiekers, martins, house
wrens and English sparrows nesting
In the same house.
The fact that there is limit to the
possible bird population on any given
tract must be taken into consideration.
When the probable tenants have been
decided upon, the selection of sites is

Birds are desirable about premises
not only on account of their beauty
and song, but because of their eco
nomic worth, according to the United
States bureau of biological survey.
They are especially useful as insect
destroyers during the breeding period,
when they have to work early and late
to obtain sufficient food for their
nestlings, and their movements at this
time are more interesting than during
any other season. There is, therefore.

CATERING TO THEIR NEEDS

Birds may be gathered about us In
nil seasons OF the year with ease and
certainty merely by offering what they
desire. In winter they are often
pushed for food, and if we supply this
need they will report daily at the
lunch counter and help to relieve the
tedium of our indoor life. In sum-
mer they care less for food provided
by their human friends, and other

style Of house that is TO occupy 1t. In
the final placing of blrdhouses, 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 a birdhouse or food
shelter has much TO do with It's sue
cess. for the reason that birds have
decided notions as to proper sur
roundings for a 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.
woodpeckers are woodland species, al
though flickers and red-headed wood
peckers are more at home among the
scattered trees of roadsides and pas
lures. Song sparrows frequent weedy
swales and brush fences. Swallows
do not enter woods, so that a house
would be as attractive to them In one
open place as another. The eastern
phoebe, The black phoebe and the
house finch, while not limited to the
haunts of man, are notlceably 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.

Why do restaurants keep up the pre-.

In the first place the stuff they
serve would be an insult to any self

A pat of restaurant butter these days
is about as big as a germ and almost

it can stand in the middle of its chip

The High Cost of Growing Cotton.

The boil weevil has been cutting
high jinks during the last ten
DAYS.
1t is doing more harm in re,
gion hitherto not infested than in
the region south of Vicksburg.
What with the boil weevil and
the deterioration of the cotton the
crop is not as good as it was six
weeks ago.
The Commercial Appeal has ney,
er advised planters to hold cotton
or to sell cotton, but The CONNER.
cial Appeal believes that when cot
ton this year is sold under 20 cents
per pound it will be marketed at
less than the average cost of pro,
duction.
With wheat at $500 a bushel
and rough bacon around two bits
q pound, cotton ought to be worth
o minimum of 20 conts per pound.
Some time ago a statistician
showed that with wheat at $500
per bushel, corn at 81. 30 and bacon
at % cents, cotton ought to fetch
30 cents a pound to be in line with
these prices,
