SLATE-GOLORED JUNGO

With the possible exception
of the Chickadees and Tree
Sparrows probably few birds
have put more grins on the
faces of those who must stay
indoors in winter than have
the Juncos. Even husky hik-
ers enjoy the birds as they
come into a wind) and snow
swept clearing and see the
birds gaily gathering break-
fast of weed seeds when a I
other animals seem to be
elsewhere.
During the spring and fall
migrations north andsi outh,
the birds seem to be most
abundant. Then their flocks
are easily identified not only
by their slaty color but by
the flashing, white outer-tail
feathers is completed by a
light-colored bill that con-
trasts1 with the darkness of

TELEPHONE
■ TIP
by Emily Post
A correspondent says: “The other day, I was work-
ing in the garden. Three times within an hour, my
telephone rang and, each time, the person calling
hung up before I could get to the phone. Will you
please remind your readers how annoying this is?”
I’ll be very glad to. One of the fundamental cour-
tesies, yet one of the most neglected, is giving the
person you call ample time to answer the tele-
phone. It so happens, that person is busy and can-
not reach the telephone immediately. Always wait
at least a full minute before you hang up.

the head!. In the male the
head is more conspicuously
dark than in the female.
Juncos measure about 6V2
inches and have a wingspread
of to 101 inches. They weigh
about 7-10 of an ounce, may
fly as fast as 17 miles' an
hour andi have a body tem-
perature of over 108 degrees
F. Their light weight per-
mits them to land on fluffy
snow without sinking in as
would larger birds like phea-
sants and crows. As a result,
when deep snows' come the
Juncos continue their merry
existence while the larger
birds become bogged! down
Hunger means little to a, bird
than can get a shower of
breakfast food by merely
pecking almst any dead weed
top that thrusts its head'
above the snow.
There are eight species of
Juncos to be found in North
America with the total rising
to twice that number if we
recognize both species and
subspecies. Collectively they
practically cover the conti-
nent except for the extreme
northern barrens' and' the
lowlands of Mexico. They are
also to be found in Siberia.
The common Slate-colorec
•Junco nests in the northern
part of the United Staes and
into Canada. The nest is usu-
ally on the ground under
some sort of cover and' is
made of grass with a finer
lining. The 4 to 6 eggs are
bluish, greenish or grayish,
thickly spotted with f ine pur-
ple, brown or lilac marks. The
eggs are about 4-5 of an inch
long and are incubated for 11
or 12 days. There may be one
or two broods a year.
A third of the winter food
is probably the seeds and
fruits os such noxious weeds
as ragweed and smart^eed.
The remainder is probably
the fruits and seeds of such
other common weeds- as ama-
ranth, lamb’s quarters, Rus-
sian thistle and! sunflower:
While it might seem that the
great flocks of Juncos feed-
ing on enormous quantities
of the fruits and seeds of
these noxious plants might be
helping in weed control it is
doubtful if this service is ap-
preciable. As in many other
kinds of wildlife, whether
plants or animals* there is
usually a harve,stable surplus
of wed seeds. It might be
better to recognize that the
weeds that feed these birds

With my electric home freezer,
"stormy weather” is nothing but a
song title. You see, I have my own
well-stocked "super-market” right
in the kitchen. No running to the
grocer’s for me! Everything I need
is always right there in the electric
home freezer ... fresh meat, poul-
try, out-of-season fruits and vege-
tables you couldn’t even get at the
stores now. What’s more, by buy-
ing in large quantities and at the
right time, I saved money. Why
don’t you, too, enjoy the luxury of
shopping in your own kitchen—
with an electric home freezer. See
them at your electrical dealer’s
store.

Baby, chicks are a lot like ydungsters. They get
more energy from wholesome, nutritious oatmeal
than from any other cereal grain. And that’s why
oatmeal is the base for Ful-O-Pep Chick Starter
. . . because it gives chicks the extra food values
they need to grow strong bones and sound bodies
for a faster start. Two lbs. per chick’s all you need.
