usually established in a low tree
or briar about 4 feet from the

of bark and small sticks are used
for the outside walls, finer grasses
for the inner walls and mattress.
Three to five greenish blue eggs
are laid. Father stands on guard
while mother goes for a bit of ex-
ercise and food. He brings to her
all the neighborhood gossip as she
broods the eggs. You should listen
to the clucks and soft notes as the
two exchange their own views upon
such serious matters as bringing
up the family and finding food for
them.
When the children arrive there
Is little time to spare, for the hun
CRY babies must be fed every hour.
Flying at the rate of 16 miles an
hour enables the parents to cover
many acres of ground In their
search for juicy insects, most of
them placidly consuming our food.
The catbirds soon clean up a plant
and leave it free to grow without
the hazard of an insect colony.
Ants, caterpillars, bugs, spiders, all
tender, juicy morsels. are dropped
down the open mouths of baby
birds. They eat their weight in
insects many times over before they
are capable of finding their own
food. Now figure out what we owe
catbirds. OF course we have heard
on many occasions how much fruit
catbirds steal. 1t has also been
established that If mulberries are
to be found cultivated fruits will
be left alone. Here is our cue.
Plant Russian mulberry trees, which
are prime favorites with catbirds,
and then we have 100 per cent
cooperation.
Lest we overlook credit due this
excellent though noisy neighbor, we
would like to remind you that cat
birds love to feast on the berries of
poison Ivy. A. What . real friend to
