FEEDING THE BRIDES.
Made Friends by Hanging Fat Meat
Out for Them in Winter.

-
Out for I he m in Winter.
Bird Lore, in it's notes on winter
feeding Of wild birds gives a number
Of methods for such feeding that may
be easily employed by any kindly per-
son with the greatest satisfaction. At
this time Of year birds, like domestic
fowls, appreciate fat food. Soup bones,
after they have served their purpose
in the kettle, may be hung in a tree
or elsewhere SO that cats may not get
at the feathered visitors. Here the
birds will pick away every bit of meat
and gristle. Suet may be put in the
trees this way or the carcass Of a
fowl, and blue jays, nuthatches, wood
peckers and chicadees, not to mention
the English sparrows, will visit this
luncheon with delight.
A correspondent writing from Jack
sonville, ILL.,, says: Ever since 1 be-
gan bird study, six years ago, have
kept winter bird table; and it has
been never-failing source OF pleasure
and instruction to me as well as
help to my bird guests during the bad
weather. We have an acre of ground
around our home, and fine trees, but
there are streets on all but the north
side, so I chose that side for the bird
table, as it is the most sheltered and
at the same time affords us the best
chance TO watch the birds from the
house. / BEGAN by tying Jumps Of suet
up in small trees near the windows
and very soon my guests began to
arrive. Later I devised a plan for
bringing the suet eaters within closer
range. fastened a rough stick, two
or three inches in diameter, to the
window shutters, across the window a
little below the middle sash and upon
this stick tied my lump Of suet.
From that time we have had the
pleasure all winter long Of watching
our bird neigtt~~s at their luncheon
while sitting at our own dining table.
I also fastened wooden tray to the
sill into which we put cracked nuts
and chopped suet. The most constant
visitors were the chiclIadees and wood.

SEVERAL NEW

Several new records were hung up during
