THE ROOT 31 imitates the burying-beetle; for he covers the manure with soil, and thus prevents the sun from drying it up. He sends to lonely islands where bird-droppings have accumulated for ages, and brings home the guano for his fields. He buys bones from the butcher, and grinds them into dust, and scatters the bone-dust on his ground. 9. How Nature seeks fresh soil for her plants.

When the bird is very heavily infested, gas bubbles are observed in the droppings, and remain visible for some time. Segments of tapeworms may be found in the feces by careful search, and microscopic examination may be utilized for detecting the presence of tapeworm eggs. Tapeworm infestation in geese has been reported in Germany as causing very marked nervous symptoms. The birds walk very lit- tle and assume an upright position like that of the penguin.

Its depredations are more serious in warmer countries because of favor- able climatic conditions. Habits. During the daytime the mites collect in cracks, or under droppings and rubbish. They make their.way at night to the birds on the roost where they cause annoyance while engorging with blood. Occasion- ally mites will attack hens on the nest during the daytime. When engorged, the mite leaves the bird. Some mites that fail to become engorged the same night Stock Photo

This little Hornbill is generally seen in small parties about open jungle, groves of trees, and gardens, but not in thick forest. It lives chiefly on fruit, but occasionally eats insects also. It has a harsh cry, and an undulating flight, with alternate flappings and sailings. An excellent account of the nidification at Mainpuri is given by Mr. Home, who watched the female bird shut up, with her own droppings, the opening of the nest-hole in a sissoo tree, except the slit Stock Photo

If there is doubt as to whether a flock is suffering from worms, give a suspected bird a strong purgative and keep it up so that the feces may be examined for worms.
