Further Bird Notes
I have been requested to write a bit
about increasing the birds mound our
homes. (3ood observers testify that
they have lucre ised visibly since the
early days. There can bo no doubt
about It. The two causes that have
contributed to this end are shelter and
food. The trees and shrubs that adorn
our yards in city and country make
the shelter without which shy birds
like tho Hrown Thru-dier, Cat ltird
aud Chewink cannot be content and
without which tho bolder birds like the.
llobiu, Kingbird, Orioles, (Jiuckles
aud Blue Jays cannot find nesting
places Tho Cardinal, Hose-breasted
Grosbeak and Black headed (iiosbeah
are beginning to nest in this city.
These arc charming songsters aud of
gay plumage. They Hud a hearty wel
come and will doubtless stay among
us.
The fruit that is now cultivated so
commonly they will share with us, in
return for the Injurious iusects they
destroy And who shall begrudge
thorn .their shaio of what they have
saved for us!
A few suggestions as to increasing
their number and at the same time
saving our fruit will be In order.
1. Plant Russian Mulberry trees
wherever the ground can be spared for
them, especially along the roadsides.
They usually bear a heavy crop lasting
six weeks. It is a strange faot that all
the fruit eating birds will leave the
cherries, currants, raspberries aud
other small fruits and spend their
time in the Mulberry trees. It may
be partly because they are undisturb
ed there, but they seem perfectly satis
tied with them.
2. Put a shallow, broad pan of two
to three inches of clean water on sup
ports '.) to 0 feet high, where tho birds
can drink aud bathe without having to
look behind them every : seconds to
see if a cat is ready to spring upon
them. They must be able to roost on
the odge and drink easily. It must be
kept fil can and so should be fastened
against wind, but not immovable. Set
it out in the open, not too near the
house or walks where they will be
constantly disturbed. Birds love to
drink often iu hot weather and will
live near good water t they can
H. Put up bird houses for Wrens
aud Blue birds and Martins. For our
tiny wren a very tame bird and sweet
singer, culled the "Western House
Wren" a hole II to 4 Inches from the
bottom and not more than an inch aud
a half in diameter is needed to keep
out the English sparrow. If lie fights
oil' the Blue bltd and Martins which
must have larger holes, simply shoot
him.
1. Kill tho stray Tom cuts that arc
always preying on tamo birds and
chickens. They are u constant terror
to our bird neighbors, and have no
rights that we uoud respect.

Any intelligent man who looks at
the wastes of which tho people of this

ought to be able to devise numerous
methods of maMug a living from the
utilization of the yearly refuse. 'On
this tteeless prairie the brush consum
ed In bonll res should support the man
who will use it up to advantage la
this county devoid of minerals, there
Is enough old iron rusting, in some
body's road and an offense to most of
us, tlrere is enough tin plate In old tin
cans that are a nuisance, to furnish
profitable employment to men who
will take pains vo collect It at the right
time and preserve it in proper shape
for handling. What we need Is intelli

of the opportunities about us.
An Italian gardener would take the
