park visiting public and the Herald devotes
an editorial to the subject. What MI Hall
says of the squirrels in Central Park no
doubt applies equally well to the squirrels
which inha0it some of the shade trees of
our city, and we quote from his letter as
follows.
| An examination of several of them re-
! Gently has Convinced me that an appeal is
| necessary to those who feed them to choose
rather hickory, pecan and hazel nuts than
| the chestnutS and peanuts upon which they
usually fed. The teeth of the squirrel grow
very rapidly and they need hard nuts In
! some cases the teeth have grown so that the
| little fellows are likely actually TO die of
| starvation unless they are promptly helped.
| Moreover the fur of many of them shows
| that they are not getting sufficient salt A
| little meat, d chicken bone or little salt
will save many of them from the loss of fur
and will moreover protect the birds eggs
and the birds, to which otherwise, in their
| hunger for salt, squirrels will inStinCtively
