sf.ekbsrds Curious Nesting Place.

After building five nests in a line
on the head of a drag rake in farm
building at Devices, a pair of black
birds have just reared brood Of four
in the fifth nest, the only one actual

nests may be accounted for by the po-

sloping downward, the nesting ma.

four failures, the birds at length sue

hold together. A somewhat similar
incident was reported some time ago
FROM Cambrfdgeshire, but in that case
the nests were placed between the
rungs of a ladder which hung hori.

SAYS TREES WILL THRIVE =
IF GIVEN PROPER CARE

Fargo, Sept. 1.-Because nature
did not scatter trees generously over
the North Dakota prairies is no proof
that the plains cannot be relieved by
cultivation, A. F. Yeager, horticul-
turist at the Agricultural college,
points out, speaking from expert
ments. .@@s,. e.
Trees do well in all parts of the
state if given proper care, Yeager
has discovered. LII -
Because of the comparatively
light moisture the proper care Of
trees dates back two years before
planting, at which time the soil
should be broken. Willow wind
breaks on the north and west are
advisable, and cultivation in early
stages essential, in order that weeds
and grasses do not steal the mois,
ture, all of which is needed by the
young trees.

Postmaster SURPRISED

A woman called at the post office
in a Maine town the other day and
surprised the postmaster with this
announcement: II am going away
and don't know how long I shall be

And from that we would judge
that the post office in that town
