DREER'S BIRD HOUSES 



To the garden lover Bird Houses should appeal strongly, if for no other reason than the economic value of their inhabitants, to 

 explain, birds feed upon practically all insect pests, they are voracious, able to move freely from place to place and exert a steady in- 

 fluence in keeping down the swelling tide of insect life. Where proper measure is taken to attract and protect the birds an increase of 

 several fold in the bird population has resulted with a corresponding decreased loss from the depredations of injurious insects. 



The houses illustrated^ are durably constructed of cedar. We suggest their being located in the autumn, or during the winter. 

 Birds seem to prefeTf a house that is weather beaten.
