Queen Nesting Places.

NO bird selects stranger places for a

Eighty, yidgety, fussy little midget OF

fight turkey buZzard or any other
thing that flies. The biological sur
vey of the Department of Agriculture
says: Probably no bird displays
greater eccentricity in the selection OF
a nesting place than the house wren.
A hollow branch or a knothole in a
post or stump is his more prosaic
choice When more esthetically in
clined he affects old boots and hats
hung up to scare robins from the
cherries, or takes an old copper pot or
tomato can lying on the roof of 4
back shed: or IL the gardener hangs
his coat on the fence when warm
weather begins and forgets it for a
few days he may find when he re-
turns that an enterprising wren has
pre-empted one ST his pockets and
has his domestic affairs under fun
Roadway. The empty skull of a horse
or COW when set up on post by the
frolicsome schoolboy makes an ex-
cellent nesting place for the wren,
who is never troubled by the ghost
Of the former occupant. Whatever
place~he chooses. his ambition is 10
occupy the whole of 1t. This he ac-
complishes by carrying sticks. straws
and other rubbish until all available
space is filled. only just room enough
