A bird garden is rather novel idea.
but one which, if faithfully exploited,
will prove as real delight as any gar

the subject has set apaFta spot of per-

ground for cats and small boys, and
the birds have become very tame Ber-

a harbor for bugs and worms, covers
the ground. Hydrantsa are left drip
