Why there should be such a “flush” of birds this year is known only to the people who make something of a stud; of them. They manage to survive all the guns, traps, and telegraph wires that are laid for them. And they come put ahead, The fact that they are pro- lifle is one of God's compensations for the fact that mankind wars against them.

But the men who went out Into the Harta mountains to capture canaries have given to their children by heredity the inatinet of cap uring birds, If every one who has a home that he con call his own would put a box either on his house top or in a tree near hia use, and would use bis best endeavor to get rid of the English sparrow pest, he would find that the native birds would not only come to him but would come to him so gladly and with such a voice that he would feel repaid for the five cents which It cost him to nalla box either on his roof or on the shade trea The birds have evidently come to stay, They need a little encouragement iste way of food and in the way of hos ity.
