But our own niistrvntinus llnvt: fully cnlivitwctl us that
the average household cut is the tvnrst enemy the birds have
to denl with in cit . It is n wcllsllnowu Incl tllltt certain
species of birds sptnnlly ztllctl city, yarns .-ind hnrues. Some
of the tvlklc-r ones, of course, stick to the woods and the Fields,
where they enjoy a grnnt-r degree of safety and more alntndr 7
ant food supplies. But, mt nit otltcr hund, smile kinds
seem to enjoy runrriripnl life and lrnspirnhty even more thnu
they do the freer life nt the wnnrlr ztntl hsltls Tl e rnhins

the sltotgtttt nud the ztlntlltlrutct of food are, perhaps, the
principal causes oi this, unless we also nl:iLc an exception in
favor of the rul)in’s nppnrem Ilkl: Iur the sncir-ty of hurnnn
beings. They become almost fcnrluss in the yards and on
the lawns of the city homes.
The grant enemy they havu to (car and do Iear is the
cat. These they know Intllslittcllvuly tn be their greatest
eneutivss, and they are, ztccorrlingly, fearful of them. Every-
body must have sttn how nny by day nun by night the cat,
with crouched body and mi velvcl. cushions, stalks the birds
that seek their food on the ground or venture to take a drink
from n pm: of water set out for their special ncconnuorlation.
We have watched them trying to nsccntllloncystlckle and
other vines to reucll the young in tltcir nests and the old birds
while asleep. There is no doubt whatever that .1 great in-
crease of our conltnon birds would Iullotv the extinction of
fiity per ccnt of the trmnp and other Cats that are to be found
in all cities and towns.
UNOCCUPIED GOVERNMENT LAND.
In tlisvlissiissiniint the qttestiouof ovcrpopttlzttion in a
current lnngazine, the author Iztkcs occasion to point out that
the clays tvlltu the inducerucnts for the new settler to take up
land under the got-ernnicnt grunt made the trouble, expenses
and lnbor connected tltcrctvitlt wortlt while ztrc past, and that
theiorcigner coining tothcnu shares is content now to eke
out an existence in the Klutlskily populated districts of the
United States rather than take up it homestcnrl claim.
While the lunin fuels (if the articlc scorn to paint the
argtttttcltt with truth, nu cluiilclll not discussed, was the
characteristic of the foreign ilulnigrrtnt nutv coining to our
shorrs. Where ten years ngn we were receiving many of the
agricultural class of forcigtiersr snlllll farmers and settlers,
we are now receiving but one ill rt hnutlrcrl of that class,

the other ninctysnine being dncllvrs in the slums of the
most den-rely populated sections of Soutllern Europe.
Such iltitttlgmlits do not cure for nor do they have any
idea of takiltg up Il0lllL‘3l('2Ikl<.
A glance of the rccortls of the Lund ofhce of the
United States will reveal the fact thnt this government still
has in “public lItl1(l:4," opt-n forot-cllpmlt-y, excluding Alaska,
nearly one-tllirtl of the entire art of the United States.
There are473,S36,4o2 acres of lIllt)CCll1)IL’(I public lands situ-
ated in twenty-three States E!‘It1Itlll'CQ Territories, which the
government holds rcztdy to grant at a Holllllml Hgnrc to the
man who seeks a home.
This great area is nearly equal to 16 times the State of
Penitsylvanimgxl tinits thnlni New Jersey, rind nearly 351
times the st of Deltnvurtz
Of this land 3oo,ooo,noo acres are fine grazing country
and lunch of the bulalme tiinht-r land, Thcrc are, we know,
vast tracts unsuited to cultivzitimt in thc Rocky Mountains
and on the deserts of the Suulhwt-st, hut plcnly still rernztins
to provide the energetic Ii>rl:ignt>r who desires it home and
land. And in addition to this, the science of agriculture has
progressed to such an extctlt that regions heretofore classed
as waste and bnrrcu are yielding cxccllmll crops.
There is plenty of lmid,;tud plenty of room, herefor
the energetic foreigttcr who will nnrltrtrrkr agrlcttltttral pur-
suits and forltiln Alncriczt oiltrs a hand nf welconlc, but for
the foreigner of the inn-rst clsssrs in European cities there
is. and should he, no place.
The happiest man in the world is the common every
dzty chap who tltttkes his own living, pays his bills and has
a little as he goes along, but who dues not strive to get a
local output and is neither a slave to ambition
He loves his God and fcllntvntcn, thinks“there is
no place ltLe home,” the lt:n't'n of rest; prefers the company
oflliswife ndtliiltlrrn to Ilntlofauy one else, never has to
sit up at night to pottltice his conscience, believes in the
doctrine of live and let live and when he eitcotititt-rs oneoftlxe
needy he llocsn't stutter over his pockctlmolit. The plain man
is happy hecrtuse he is sirrislit-rl rind tlorswt spend the best
part of life yearning for sulnctlling four sizes too large for
him.
