Your Garden
By MARY A. JAMISON
Did you ever stop to think what
an important part the birds play in
our everyday life?
Nearly every farmer delights in
the lusty whistle of bobwhite from a
nearby post, the cheerful song of
the meadowlark from the hay
meadow, scolding calls of the kill-
deer as it swings overhead. No
group of people more enjoy contact
with living things than do farmers,
but how many of us try to entice
them into our gardens?
How I longed for our feathered
friends when we first came to this
sagebrush country. The occasional
caw, caw of a raven as he flew by
on his way to the nearest corn
field was like music to me for it

| meant th at as soon as we had our
I land in cultivation the birds would
come. The next spring some Eng
lish sparrows came and that fall we
we would occasionally see a phea
sant! Now there are lots of birds
but we must make provision and
protection for them.
The English sparrow is not con
sidered a desirable bird but only last
week I heard a wild commotion out
side in one of the trees. There they
were, about 30 of them, eating the
caterpillars which had denuded the
upper half of a Chinese elm!
First, and surest of all devices in
attracting birds, is providing bushy
shelter; without that you will have
few birds about, tho you blanket
your lawn with birdseed and put
a nesting box in every tree.
Second is growing plants which
furnish edible fruit or seed. Few
birds feel secure on stretches of
open lawn or among spare branches.
Dense shrubs and low trees Inter
laced with vines supply the most
cordial sanctuary. Hawthorn, cot-
toneaster, pink and white bush
honeysuckle, bittersweet, all afford
twiggy shelter and a measure of
food for birds.
Bird boxes range all the way from
the elegant martin castles to the
gourd or cocoanut shell for the
wren.
Many bird boxes are never occu
pied because they are placed in
trees. Wrens, chickadees, bluebirds,
and swallows seem to feel safe in
boxes mounted on bare poles from
5 to 10 feet high. Face your boxes
away from the prevailing winds and
set them at a slight angle toward
the ground so that the rain won’t
beat in so freely.
Above all else, when birds come
about and go peering into your
boxes in search of fitting nurseries,
make sure they are not molested
by pets, or receive too much hu
man attention. Keep cats away, or
put guards on the houses for their
stealthy depredations have come to
be the direst foe of American bird-
kind.
A gesture of goodwill toward the
birds as nesting time approaches is
to put out short lengths of string
or yarn and bits of cotton. Make

Place a bird bath in your garden,
it is ornamental and the birds will
enjoy It.
When the winter days draw near
and food for the birds is on the
wane, throy out some apple peel
ings, waste lettuce leaves, bones
with scraps of meat left on, and of
course teh hard bread crusts. With
in a short while the birds will dis
cover the food and soon you can
have whole flocks feasting by your

Other feed for wild birds is coarse

COW HOLLOW
By The Happy Farmer
The second cutting of hay in Cow
Hollow is nearing the end. By the
time this gets to print all will be
finished except Elza Niccum and
Chuck Share and possibly Doc Raf-
fington. Doc already has about two-
thirds of his hay up. Owing to part
of it being just watered he never cut
it all at first.
Upper Cow Hollow's portable hay
derrick has been working just fine.
Several of the neighbors have been
watching to see if it would be a
success. Last week Mr. Cline of the
Farm Security Loan association was
out and watching it work. He sort
of threw cold water in our proud
faces when he ginned and asked
"whose improvised hay derrick is
this?”
Well it gets a good job done any
how.
Chet Sage hauled a load of sage
brush for fuel Monday. We don't
particularly love sage brush for fuel
but we should at least be thankful
for it. The other day a neighbor
boy happened to be over when we
were chopping wood (sage brush)
and we were discussing our love for
cutting that kind of wood.
The boy remarked "If I had as
much busted up boards around as
you do, I would be chopping them
up for wood.” We answered “those
boards cost money and are hard to
get and they come in handy once in
a while.” He says, “that's what dad
says too. But his boards keeps dis
appearing every once in a while.”
The Idaho Power company has
had a crew run a survey through
Cow Hollow to see what it would
cost to run a power line through
We hope to have electricity in the
Hollow soon and that will relieve
the wood chopping some. Electricity
is a little expensive for us to cook
with but at that it is cheaper than
boards and a whole lot better.
The county road grading crew is
grading our roads again. In fact
they have finished the mail route
in Cow Hollow and have gone on
south over into Sunset Valley. We
have hopes that they will have the
gravel on it before the winter mud
sets in.
We have never been able to get
a combine into Cow Hollow yet this
season. Russell Howell has red clov
er in his barley and he has been
holding his breath and waiting so
the other day he went to see them
again and was told that they could
not get to him for a week yet and
said, “you just as well forget it then
for the clover is as high as the bar
ley now." He plans not to let the
clover ripen and try to get a seed
crop and save what barley he can.
Chet Sage and Jim Trummel are
quite anxious to get a combine in
to for when the grain ripens the
thistles soon comes up through it
until a combine can't get through
it.
Earl Heaton is getting his hay
derrick set up to stack his second
cutting. With our portable derrick
that makes five derricks in Cow
Hollow now.
It is reported that Mr. and Mrs.
Dale Limbaugh are the parents of
a son, born last Thursday.
Mrs. Dude Parker says she has
the first water pressure system in
Cow Hollow.
Several of the Cow Hollow farm
ers are leaving a little patch of al
falfa to try to raise seed.
The clover huller pulled into the
Jim Trummell place Monday eve
ning to see what kind of seed Jim
has raised.
Clarence Niccum is rather en
thused about his prosepts for a
Ladino seed crop.
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Parker gave an
ice cream social Wednesday eve
ning. Those present were Mr. and
Mrs. Chet Sage, Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Heaton and family, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Parker and son,
Mr. and Mrs. Dude Parker and
sons and Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Share
and Don returned Tuesday from the
hill with a load of poles.
The Wahine club met with Mrs.
C. Niccum Thursday with eight
members and one guest present. It
was decided to have the annual pic
nic August 27 and also to celebrate
the birthdays of two of the mem
bers.
The picnic will be held at the
Vale park.
The Wahine club will meet with
Mrs. Mort Wixon August 10.
Mrs. Earl Heaton took her baby
to Emmett Sunday for medical
treatment.
Jack Marshall is visiting with his
cousin Donnie Share this week
