(By w. L. M'ATEE.)

By W. L. M'ATEE)
Horned larks are small but hardy
birds which frequent the open country
aud never live In forests. They range
over practically the whole United
States, and are easily recognized by
the conspicuous black mark across the
breast and the small pointed tufts Of
dark-colored feathers behind the eyes.
These are often erected and cause the
appearance referred to In the common
name. These birds nest early, often be-
fore all the snow has disappeared, and
they have joyous fight song in the
mating season.
The food of horned larks consists Of
206 per cent Of animal and 1914 per
cent Of vegetable matter. Not quite
sixth of the vegetable food is grain,
mostly waste, though some sprouting
grain is pulled. This is the most seri-
Gus charge against the birds and Is sus-
tanned, but it must be admitted that
practically all the complaints were
