Fortunate is the man whose hospitality the Martins accept. Their cheery
notes and sociability make them the best kind of guests. The Audubon
Society will send one plans for a Martin house, and tell one where to
place it. Martins nest in May and lay white eggs.

Cliff Swallow it is in the West, but "Eave" Swallow it should be in the
East where the rows of flask-shaped mud nests cluster thick beneath
projecting roofs. They prefer unpainted buildings and the modern barn
rarely knows them. The white, brown-spotted eggs are laid in the latter
half of May.

Chestnut underparts and a forked tail are the
chief characters of this beautiful Swallow. L. 7.

Barn Swallows are far more beautiful, more graceful and more
companionable than Purple Martins. But while we are erecting special
dwellings for the Martins we are making our barns Swallow-proof. A pair
of Barn Swallows are not only cheerful neighbors but good investments.
Let us make it possible for them to enter the hay-mow. We may even
supply shelves as foundations
