BIRD HOUSES. 



Field sports undoubtedly tend to keep 

 people in the country and to make coun- 

 try places attractive. Since the laws 

 have been amended making it legal to 

 have game birds for sport and for food 

 many rural owners have taken an interest 



in producing and protecting the game on 

 their places and many people have cre- 

 ated country estates where game always 

 is plentiful. 



The practical protection given to the 



game causes a rapid increase in the num- 

 bers of song and insectivorous birds and 

 we have been pleased to observe that 

 sportsmen who have country places have 

 begun to take a great interest in the 

 smaller birds. Many readers of The 

 Game Breeder provide special shelters, 

 nest boxes and foods for the birds and 

 all, we feel sure, will be glad to learn 

 that a new and attractive bird house has 

 been placed on the market, for fifteen 

 cents, postpaid. 



It is not often that we become suf- 

 ficiently enthusiastic about anything to 

 write any special notice of it. This bird 

 house, however, appealed to us at once as 

 something which our readers should 

 have for their country places. It is well 

 made, watertight and in color and tex- 

 ture closely resembles the gray tones of 

 the back of a tree. 



We had an idea when we first read the 

 copy that the price, 15 cents, must be a 

 mistake. A few minutes after a sample 

 box was sent to us. One of our readers 

 who owns a country place came in and 

 when we observed he was. interested in 

 the box we asked him what he thought 

 the price was. He said he would guess 

 $2.00. When we told him the price he 

 said he had many small birds on his 

 place and they certainly could have 

 houses at that price. 



We think it likely the price of the 

 bird boxes like the price of other things 

 will go up and we advise our readers to 

 read the advertisement on another page 

 and to send their orders for bird houses 

 promptly.
