It is not always easy to toll why
woodpeckers select one tree, rather
than others the kind in the
forest to begin their operations upon,
I or why they attack one side of a tree
; and leave the other untouched. Com-
it will be no doubt, that
worms or ants are concealed beneath
the point selected, and that the wood-
I pecker is guided in his search by the
sense of hearing.
But there arc circumstances which
go to show Hint the woodpecker is not
always searching for food or guided
by sound. In the winter, when worms
ants arc dormant and silent, ho
will wake every echo for a long dis-
around by tapping on a dead,
dry branch, or on the hollow trunk of
tree. He docs not then apply his
ear to the to listen for the noise
of the worm beneath, but his object
seems lo to make all the noise he
can himself.
The yellow hammer, or golden
winged woodpecker, is most easily
studied, because ho is most fearless
and most nearly domestic in his
Where hollow trunks of trees are cosily
found, ho usually confines his
to them; but in prairie regions
ho bores holes through pillars,
j steeples of churches, and other
which promise an opening into
I interior.
But there must be other motive
times, for the writer has watched
I of these birds working with
usual racket upon one side of an oak
board, where by moving six inches
he was at perfect liberty to look over
upon tho other side of tho board and
investigate whatever ho could hon-
; to reach by boring a hole through
i it. Indeed, it was perfectly
; upon which side of it he should
begin operations.
One year the writer occupied a house
which had large, hollow pillars in
front. Rome smooth, round holes in
them, about two inches in diameter,
indicated what freedom tho yellow
hammers had used and would use
again. In the early spring they began
and it was impossible to

The birds would not have ban

necessary to remove the house

roads and and that
most of these arc lawyers who have

arc canvassed openly, and railway
legislation is very costly. Parliament-
expenses have varied from
a mile, most of which has
gone into the pockets of parliament-
lawyers. Mr. Spencer expresses
