| From one who has made a study of
| bird life comes this advice to the
boys who have placed so many bird
houses in the village. eff you wish
the song birds to build in those houses
be sure that the English sparrows
are not permitted to make their
| homes in the houses. They will be
sure to prevent the nesting of the
song birds" This may seem cruel to
the sparrows but it is said they are
robbers, are not the farmers friends
as are those who destroy insects and
worms, and that they destroy the
song birds eggs.
