Wrens and Catbirds
Had Nests Together

A very interesting and rather un-
usual incident, showing how neighbour
iy birds may be. happened last spring,
writes Elizabeth Frederick in Our
Dumb Animals. A friend of mine has
a cottage, and there is a certain vine
growing close to a window, which is
fayorlte nesting place with birds
This year two different families, pair
OF wrens and pair of catbirds, de-
c1ded to nest here, and so they set
about building their homes. Strange
to say, there was no quarreling over
this, but each pair minded its own
business, and when their homes were
finished, 10 and behold there, perched
upon the edge of the good-sized nest of
the catbird, was the dainty little nest
of the wren.
Never were two families more So
cable. Together the mothers sat on
their eggs, and perhaps they ehatted
about different things to make the
long hours Of waiting less lonesome.
Together the wrens and the catbirds
fought the cat and bravely defended
their homes, when the babies were
Matched. and side by side they raised
their families and taught them how
10 ny. Now there is nothing left but
the two nests to show this unusual
friendship between two bird families.

BLACK WALNUT PLANTING
In VIRGINIA is SUGGESTED

The planting of black walnuts in Vir
ginia's waste lands is suggested by the
United States Department of Agricul.
T ture as solution for one of the prob.
lens for disposal of the lands now
gaining no profits on them.
Because of the high quality and
beauty of its timber and its resistance
TO decay, the food value and popu-
larity of its nuts, and the charm of the
tree from an ornamental standpoint,
the black walnut challenges attention
as tree worthy of extensive planting
in waste places, the bulletin declared.
1T is not recommended TO grow the
black walnut as major farm crop on
extensive areas of good land, because
it is not a good competitor in
profits with other farm crops. But it
is urged to plant this tree in these
neglected or waste areas of good soil.
In fence corners, along fence rows
or stream banks, on billy or rough
places, in rayines and in rocky outcrop.
ing in fields aud pastures where weeds
or inferior species now grow are good
places. In such places the black wal
nut in the regions where it thrives
should be 4 good investment.
