Birds appeal strongly to the Inter

only do they charm by their graceful
forms, harmonious colors, sprightly ac
tions, and usually pleasing notes, but
they have an even more important
claim upon our esteem because of their
great economic value.
Birds feed upon practically all in

granted by the Treasury department.
"It is the duty of the subscribers
to bonds on these partial-payment
plans to complete the contract into
which they have entered. If they
do not do so, both they and the gov
ernment suffer, as the bonds for
which they have contracted and for
which they do not pay in full must
usually be sold in the open market.
"It is, of course, recognized that
in case of necessity caused by sick
ness or other unavoidable circum-.
stances, cancellatiohs of subscrip

ed. In cases where employes have
made arrangements to purchase these
bonds on installment plans and then
sever their connection with the em
ployer with whom they have made
subscriptions, arrangements should be
made for the completion of the sub
scrintion or for having the subscrip
tion taken over, by the new employ

where the subscriber resides,, thus
avoiding the necessity for sale of the
bonds covered by the subscription.

made to attract and protect birds and
to Increase their numbers. Where prop
er measures of this kind have been
taken an Increase of several fold In
the bird population has resulted, with
decreased losses from depredations of
Injurious Insects.
The means of increasing the num
ber of birds about the home are fqw
and simple. They comprise adequate
protection and the provision of suit
able nesting places, food- and water.
Protection Is the prime requisite for
Increasing the number of birds in any
area, and the results of protection are
in direct proportion to Us thorough
ness. Pesldes being Insured against
every form of persecution by human
kind, birds must be defended from va
rious natural foes. The most effectual
single step is to" surround the proposed
bird sanctuary with a vermln-prooi
fence. Such a fence should prevent
entrance either by digging or by climb
ing, but will serve Its greatest use U
it cannot be climbed and Is therefore
cat-oroof. If it is impracticable te
build an Impenetrable fence, the next
device Is to put guards of sheet metal
on all nesting trees and on poles sup
porting bird houses. This should be
done in any case where squirrels oi
snakes are likely to Intrude, as it la
usually impossible to .fence out these
animals. Tree guards should be 6 feet
or more above ground. . Attacks by
hawks, owls, crows, Jays, or otherene
mles are best controlled by eliminating
the destructive individuals.
, Breeding Places. ,
Although a considerable number Oi
our native birds build their nests on
the ground, the majority place them
in trees or shrubs, either in holes ot
on the limbs or in- the crotches. Shruh
bery and trees for nesting sites, there
fore, are essential for making a place
attractive to birds, and a double pur-
nose is served If the kinds planted are
chosen from the list of fruIt-bearlnR
snecles given farther on. Shrubs should
be allowed to form thickets and should
be pruned back severely when yount;
so as to produce numerous crotches.
Constant removal of old trees, ana
modern tree-surgery, have resulted In
a great diminution In the number of
tree cavities, the natural homes oi
most of our hole-nesting birds. For
tunately, most of these birds will util
ize artificial nest cavities, or bird
houses.
Styles of bird houses' may be varied
almost endlessly. These structures
may be improvised by anyone, but they
may be purchased also irom numerous
dealers.
The most common errors in putting
out bird houses are chooulng poor loca
tions and supplying too1 many boxes.
A bird house needs only partial shade,
and houses on poles usually are taken.
Martins prefer a house standing apart
from trees.
Bird Seek Privacy.
As a rule birds do not like being
crowded? and if a place is studded.wlth
bird houses only a few of them will
be occupied. Birds not only do not
want bird neighbors too near, but are
Impatient of humau meddling, ana
therefore should have as much privacy
as Dosslble during the actual incubat-
Jng and brooding. Nests built In shrub
bery are especially liable to come to a
bad end If the birds are disturbed
freouently.
If ground-nesting: birds, as bobolinks,
meadowlarks, and bobwhltes, are to
be protected, grass. In the nesting fields
