How to Attract the Birds 



entrance to the cavity on one side ot the log, is a 

 pattern that any village carpenter or schoolboy can 

 adapt to the tiny wren and the large woodpecker. 

 \\ ooden starch boxes, provided with sloping roots 

 and covered with bits of bark, niav be divided into 

 two compartments with an entrance and perches at 

 either end, although a one-room cabin is preferable, 

 tor birds love privacy at the nesting season, however 

 large may be their liocks at other times. The ten- 

 ement for twenty families is a modern citv attain- 

 ment for humans to which few birds aspire. There- 

 fore, do not make many-roomed houses or put more 

 than one log cabin, can, gourd or box in one tree. 

 Lodgings should be in readiness very early in the 

 spring, lest a pair oi hopetul teathered house-hunters 

 slip by, unable to rind a home.
