th any one. I would like very much to
have some birds' eggs from the North. I send a list of eggs which
have all been found in the Georgia woods: jaybird, cat-bird,
sap-sucker, thrush (two kinds), redbird, bluebird, wren (different
kinds), mocking-bird, woodpecker, partridge, bee-martin, and
several kinds of sparrows. Any of these I would like to exchange
for other kinds.

I saw a letter in YOUNG PEOPLE No. 29 from Samuel P. Higgins, of
New Jersey, offering to exchange eggs. If he has any kinds not
mentioned in my list, I would be very glad to exchange with him.

ELWYN A. S.--The shells of your doves' eggs are soft because the doves
probably eat nothing from which the shell can be formed. A piece of
cuttle-fish hung in the cage might answer the purpose; or, still better,
the shells of hens' eggs broken in pieces and scattered in the cage. The
doves also need plenty of clean gravel to scratch in.--Your first favor
was acknowledged in YOUNG PEOPLE No. 19.
