NOTES ON BUILDING
HOUSES FOR BIRDS

Now is the time for all Boy Scouts
to have in mind the birds that are al
ready beginning to make their appear
ance and will soon be here in great
numbers. Boy Scouts, it is your duty
to protect and care for your feathered
friends and now is just the right time
to be thinking about building birds
houses for your little friends, which
help to make Scouting really worth
while. There is another reason why
you should be thinking about building
bird houses just now, and that is,
there is soon to be a bird house build
ing contest between the different
troops in the city. Last year when the
Boy Scouts asked permission to put
up a tent in the Farmount Park, to
guide the tourists who came to our
city, the caretakerS said they did not
want the Boys Scouts to bring their
sling shots and stones, because the
boys of the city We're killing off the
birds fast enough, but when the care
takers learned that Boy Scouts do
not kill birds, but protect them and
build houses for them, they were very
much pleased with the Scouts and said
that they admired the Boy Scouts for
this splendid principle and hoped that
they would help them to keep other
boys from killing the birds. This the
Scouts were very glad to do and now
the Park officials and the Boy Scouts
are very good friends. Here are some
suggestions for constructing Bird
Houses: Bird Houses differ decidedly
| in their requirements. For those that
usually eScavate homes for themselves,
| the diameter of the entrance and depth
and diameter of the cavity must be in
accord with their specific standards.
Some birds arc satisfied with almost t
any sort of lodging. Bluebirds and
wrens for example, are content to build
! in old tomato cans, altho chickadees
and nuthatches disdain them. Wood
| Is a better building material than metal
| or earthenwarc. Entrance holes should
| be countersunk from the outside to
/ exclude tho rain. Heads of nails and
screws should bo set rather deeply
and covered with putty. All houses
| should be easy to open for cleaning.
! 4 perch at the entrance is unnecessary
| and may be an objection. as 1t is fire.
| Guently used by English Sparrows
while they twittcr exasperatingly to
more desirable occupants. To provide
for prcoer ventilation n row of small
| holes is sometimes bored Just beneath
| the caves, but there should never be a
ventilating hole lower than the en-
trance and joints should be made
| tight. as drafts of air are dangerous.
In case there is danger that rain may
4 be driven thru the door, small drain
ago hole that will be covered by the
| nest, be made in the middle of the
| floor. Tho appearance and durability
| of houses are improved by a coat of
paint. A neutral shade of green or
gray is suitable for houses mounted in
trees, while those on poles. being con-
spicuously placed. lend themselves har-
moniously to the landscape when paint

But Marion's lunch broke open, and

We found horse and COW tracks. auto

who wore hobnailed shoes.
Soon afterwards We came to a bridge

We found a dead coyote beside tho
road but as II had acquired a bad
odor we did not stay long to examine
1t. Then We found n sign that said /:

TO 1t that said, "Thrco miles to Pu-

have passed right thru Baxter If Mar
