ALL ABOUT THE BIRDS.—The WATCH- MAN will begin publication next week of an authentic description of the common American birds, with an accurate pic- ture of .the bird accompanying the de- scription.

Take yourself, for instance, how many birds can you accurately describe as to size, contour and color; their nesting habits, favorite food, etc.? We will venture the asser- tion that your knowledge is quite limited. Hence we adjure you to be sure and read and study this feature as it appears in ‘the WATCHMAN. You will be surprised to find what an interesting study it is, and how it will create a desire for more nature studies.
