Its nest Is found la trees and bushes and Is made of horsehair and dry grass, plastered Inside with mud. It is shsped like a bow It isys from three to six eggs in the bowl-shaped nett and in about eleven days the young birds are hatched out- Then the old birds get busy hunting insects to throw down the throats of the young birda In about six days the little birds wings are strong enough and the little birds learn to fly. Robins are fond of cherries, small fruit and worms. Farmers kill a great many each year because they eat their cherries, but they eat many harmful insects thst might destroy their crops more than the robin. Robins are easily known by their song.

They sing as cheerful in the rain as in the sunshine. AB the world Is bright and gay When robin comes to town. Robin In his vest of red. And sober ruit of brown. THE COUNTRY R.

It 1b also a city of residences, having sixty-five thousand Inhabitants. It has large public schools, and is well governed and well policed. York has hut one large stream, called the Codorus creek, named by the Indians.

Any traveler coming to this city cannot help being attracted by the natural 'beauty of this stream, but it is so full of filth that the I stream and its vicinity la no longer a desirable place for recreation, or for homes, although no other stream for miles around Is so beautiful in natural scenery. For many years. the city authorities have talked about cleaning the stream, and of stopping the putting of filth into it, but nothing has been done, as this would require' a skilled engineer and great deal of money. A beautiful park could be made and Yorks waterway would available for recreation. The benefits to be derived from it would be canoeing, swimming and skating.

Citizens would be no jnoro annoyed by unpleasant odors and the health of the public would be protected. The beautification of Yorks waterway would add to the progress of the city. HERE IS A BUSY FARMER LAD "George E. Shenborger, Red Lion R. 1.
