FEEDING Wild Animals.

Of the animals that We can Goa
about our houses the gray squirrels
become most friendly. Put nuts IN
convenient places and they will make
frequent trips for supplies, but only
on comparatively mild days will they
remain long outside their comfort
able winter quarters, where they
usually have plenty of food stored
In Central Park, New York, the gray
squirrels have become SO accustomed
to being fed that they have, to a great
extent, given up storing food and rely
chiefly on what they CA pick up eacf
day. Red squirrels can be coaxed by
means of food, but they are very
questionable fellows; in fact the gen
eral opinion is decidedly against
them, owing to their partially fol
eggs and young birds. Chipmunks
hibernate in their underground homes
so we cannot count on them for win
