Rufous Hummingbird
(Selasphorus rufus).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

TN THE western part OF North
America, this hummer is most
welcome visitor. He is slightly
Il over three inches long, his mate
being fraction longer. His prevail
ing color is red; his mate wears bronze
green. Both have whitish under parts.
AS you can see by his name. rufous
Is the predoninating shade. There is
a dull metallic bronze-g green hue on
his crown and his lores, eyes, ear re-
gions and most of his perky tail are
rufous or cinnamon color. There are
areas of bronze, green, brilliant scar
let, purple and white that catch the
rays of the sun, and when the hummer
falls from the sky like a plummet,
you are confident jewel has mate
fialized before your eyes.
When courting, like all hummers, he
puffs out his gorget. This feathered
arrangement under his chin CLEANS
like precious gems. The little fellow
Is friendly and does not object to your
seeing some of his flying stunts, that
Is If your eyes can follow his swift
movements.

tries to discover the wee cup and its
dainty contents of two tiny eggs.
After the honeymoon there is little
seen or heard from the happy couple.
In fact, / must report here that after
the wife has completed the nest, the
once devoted lover and bridegroom
deserts his mate. As far as she is
concerned, she is widow with twins
to feed.
She does not NOPE or waste time
trying to find the fickle spouse, but
races madly back and forth to pick
up tender little insects in her slender
beak. Her children must have fresh
meat and later on they will become
nectar slippers like their parents.
Lest you have poor opinion of the
handsome husband, give him the benz
ent Of the doubt. For, as one bird
lover has said, ne may know that
his brilliant uniform will betray the
location of the nursery, and his little
wife and babies, too, thus be DESTROYED.
1t would be so comforting If we knew
the truth, and this is your golden
chance to find out this summer. for
there are several kinds of hummers
who have this habit. and we of all
people dislike to Judge our bird neigh
bors unfairly.

the wind rushes through his wings so
fast there is definite sound you can
distinguish from the whir of his wings
that you hear when he is slipping nee

Courting days, of course, would be
the ideal time for you to meet this
brilliantly-clad hummer His mind is
then very much on his own affairs and
his actions very entertaining. He is
what is termed in the South an
ardent suitor" There is decided
twinkle in those beautiful dark brown
eyes of his, though to catch such an
intimate view of him you must be
ready with your field glasses and train
them upon him when he is catching
his breath before another dash into
the sky.
The exquisite nursery is located in
trees. bushes or vines, as close to a

tall. It springs from . bulbous root
stock composed Of many fleshy white
scales. The blossom is yellow to
orange-red, Of . deeper shade within,
and Is we'll freckled with dark, reddish
brown dots. There are several, rarely
one, bell-shaped blossoms nodding
from the stalk. The perianth is bell
shaped, with six spreading segments,
2 to inches in length, and their
dainty tips curl backward almost to
the center. There are six stamens,
with reddish brown, linear anthers,
and one pistil which Is club-shaped.
The stigma Is three-lobed.
After the blossom has been visited
by insects and the pollen has been
given and received, the lily natures
her fruit. It Is an erect, oblong, three
celled capsule. Within are the fiat,
horizontal seeds. beautifully packed
tn two rows In each cavity.
Though there are so many different
lilies in the family, and their colors
as varied as can be, many being pure
white. yet they have one thing in
common. They hide their nectar in q
groove at the base Of each Of the six
partitions of the flower. Though they
have different insect guests. each
visitor who comes to sip Of the sweet
nectar accomplishes what the hostess
desired-namely, to come in contact
with anthers and stigma as 1t goes
from lily to lily. carrying the precious
cargo Of golden dust. This lily and
her cousin, the Turks cap, are in
need of the services Of specialized bees,
the upholsterers or leaf cutters who
are famous for the satin-lined cradles
in which their babies sleep. These
bees enjoy the refreshing nectar, but
it is the nourishing pollen they desire
most, and they mix it with nectar to
make small loaf of bread on which
their children thrive.

EARMER BROWNS BOY had
spread = lot Of pellets before
Neishbor Jones and the latter was
looking at them curiously. He asked
for an explanation.
."As I said before they are Owl pei
lets and they are from three kinds
Of Owls, began Farmer Browns Boy
"How do you know that they are
from three kinds Of Owls?" was the
immediate demand In q tone Of skep-
ticism.
Farmer Browns Boy smiled. "That
is easy" said he. II happen to know
the roosting places Of = Screech Owl,
. Long -eared Owl and the Horned
Owl. AS each sticks to his own
roost the pellets found there are his.
Now, these
wait q minute" interrupted Mr..
Jones. IT want to know q little more
about these pellets, Is you call them. +"
He picked one up and began to
examine it with some curiosity. "Of
course. I've seen them before, but
never was interested enough to exam
Inc one. You say that these are
evidence. Evidence of what?"
"Of the feeding habits OF the Owl,
replied Farmer Browns Boy. "They
are proof of what the birds have
been feeding on. Now look at this
one!"
He picked up a pellet and broke 1t
open. do you see what that is made
OFF" he continued 1T Is mostly fur
and bones and the fur is from a
Mouse. Here inside Is part of a
skull and it Is q Mouse skull. That
proves that that Owl had caught
and eaten a Mouse. But that isn't
all. Here is a part of the lower jaw
of another Mouse skull, and I guess
there Is no doubt that these bits OF
bone came from a Mouse. There
isn't another thing in this pellet,
nothing but Mouse fur and bones.
Here is another pellet from that
same Owl and you can see for your
self all it contains are the indigest-

in the crop like this" replied Farmer
Browns Boy. THE fur and feathers
and bones can't be digested in the
stomach 80 somehow the crop keeps
them there, and rolls them up into
these oval pellets. The bird brings
these up into the mouth and then
drops them out. Every particle that Is
digestible goes on to the stomach.
All that is indigestible Is spit out. It
is something like the way we eat
cherries, swallowing the meat and
splitting the seeds out. Do you know.
I think that to be healthy Owls have
to have fur and feathers and bones
for the crop to make into pellets"
Mr.. Jones laughed. do you mean
to say, Tommy" said he, that you
think he needs to swallow q lot Of
stun he can't use for food?"
