Bird club
= N otes

If YOU have the brown thrush in
your yards watch them closely fol-
they are a rare bird and are never
plentiful in this latitude. The
brown thrush is a beautiful singer
and a beautiful bird. He is more
shy than the catbird but like the
catbird spends his time in thickets
and underground. He likes brushy
pastures and wayside hedges. The
nest is built on the ground or in
the brush above it. Mounting to
the topmost limb of a tree the cat
bird pours forth his voice in song
for several minutes without inter
ruption. The notes, loud and
clear, can be heard at least a third
of a mile ringing out above the
medley of voices that form the
bird chorus of a May morning.
The nest of the brown thrush is
exposed to many dangers as it is so
near the ground that cats can east
lv get at them and it is cat nature
to eat birds whenever the oppor-
tunity offers. A cat may be very
meek and mild through the dav
but when night falls her nature
changes and it goes forth to kill.
A cat will 90 a mile from home at
night searching for birds along the
hedge rows. She goes back to the
wild nature then and seeks only to
kill.
Thrushes, hooking birds, mea-
dow larks, catbirds and many
others build their nests 50. low that
they are easily accessible to cats.
Robins, too, are not safe for al
though they build in the trees they
do not get so far out on the limb
but what a cat can easily reach
them, for cats can run up a tree al
most as easily as a squirrel.
The time is coming when almost
every farm will have few acres of
land set aside for a bird sanctuary
where trees, shrubs and under
brush are allowed to grow natur-
ally forming safe retreats for all
Kinds OF song and useful birds.

that Uriah Devon had contrived to

sharply around. At last he was COM

all she cared about.
Uriah Devon slowly walked up the
gangplank in silence.

forced herself to say. But instead Of
replying, he demanded:
"Where's 'Tonnibel?"
II Dunno" was the answer. "A min.

Senator Morrill, solved the problem

are thus today, and will always be, if

elared Senator Morrill,. What did he

if not that which we today speak of
as mining engineering? Obviously,
he could have meant nothing else;
and in the new type of college pro-

No other conclusion is possible.

agriculture and the mechanic
arts" If any one does not see the
connection between agriculture and
the mechanic arts, let him consider
what sort of agriculture we would
have today if we have no mines metal
mines, particularly. We should have
no metal plows indeed, no modern
agricultural implements of any kind.
There would be no railroads. Amer
lea would be a widely scattered CON
glomerate of unacquainted and prac-
tically unrelated and independent
communities on the seacoast and on
natural waterways. That is,agricul-
ture would not be agriculture, in to-
days sense of the term, and Amer
lea would not be America.
That is why Senator Morrill, be-
lieved that American mines should be
operated and controlled by American
made engineers. Also, that is why
