New Brirp Books. 
Of special interest to bird lovers 
are two publications written by E. H. 
Forbush, state ornithologist, and re- 
cently published by the Mass. Board 
of Agriculture. “Food Plants to At- 
tract Birds and Protect Fruit” (Cir- 
cular No. 49) gives a comprehensive 
list of the best trees, shrubs and 
flowers for attracting birds and de- 
scribes methods of planting in order 
to protect cultivated fruit from birds. 
“The Natural Enemies of Birds” is 
wed. 
the third in the series of economic | 
biology bulletins which are published 
by the board of agriculture. It takes 
up in a thorough and interesting way 
the various animals that prey on bird 
life and the birds which prey on their 
own kind. 
Another publication of the board 
now ready for distribution is “The 
Manual of Agricultural Laws.” This 
is the first compilation of the agricul- 
tural laws and it should be useful for 
ready reference. The fifth edition of 
“Apple Growing” is just out. Any 
of the above books may be obtained 
by applying to the secretary of the 
state board of agriculture, State 
House, Boston. Postage, amounting 
to four cents, should be enclosed. 
“My ma don’t allow me to play 
with you,” said the boy with the 
freckles. “She says you’re a bad 
boy.” 
“My ma don’t allow me to play with 
you, neither,” retorted the red-headed 
one. “She says you’re the worst boy 
in the neighborhood. 
“Gee! We're both regular fellers, 
ain’t we?”—Chicago World.

3ut if he is resolved he should 
select a successful boarding house 
keeper.
