Brokers said that they had received orders for oth- CT bonds in varying amounts from many parts of the country, mostly by wire, indicating that numerous per sons had made up their minds that the bond market had taken long step forward and that they did not think they could get them any cheaper The market for temporary notes was also better, as reflected in the demand for Erie per cent. notes on the curb which sold up to 96 S-S by midday A development which undoubtedly help ed bonds was the easing rates for both time money and commercial paper Bankers were predicting still lower rates for the latter within a few weeks unWilIingness to keep money idle, or drawing two or three per cent. was al the back of much of this weeks buying of bonds.

TREE PRESERVATION
Orchards Are Saved from Raw ages of Insects by Small
 Native Birds.
EXPERIMENTS IN GERMANY
Audubon Society Now Introducing Nesting Boxes to Attract the
 Native Birds.

Tn explaining how the birds preserve the trees Edward Howe Forbush, New England agent of the National Associa- ton of Audubon societies, says;
 Now and again some entcrprising newspaper man oxpatlating on the work of the Audubon societies dishes up remarkable symposium regarding some undertaking of the National as- sooiation or mekes extraordinary claims In respect 10 the usefulness of birds. Then some 'doubting Thomas very properly discounts the tale and even expresses doubt as to whether the birds are, after all, SO necessary to mans welfare as the protectionists would have us believe But the practi- cal beneficial results of the work of the birds have now been so long observed and so concluslvely proven that there is no longer any room for doubt re- gardng their usefulness. Destruction of trees and crops always follows ex- treme depletion of the numbers of the smaller native birds More over con servation of birds produces the oppo- site effect
 "In 1s94-5 I made experiments to at tract birds into an old orchard in Med ford. Mass Food and nesting boxes brought the birds te the orchard in considerable numbers, The succeeding summer appletree insects such as the

cankerworms and the tent caterpillars were very abundant and stripped the foliage from most of the apple trees in the town but mine remained in good foliage and bore almost the only full crop of fruit in town that year. De- tails of this experiment are given in a bulletin entitled Birds As Protectors Of Orchards" which Is published and distributed free by the Massachusetts state board of agriculture Similar ex- periments year by year have demon strated clearly the dollars-and-cen value of the birds in orchard and wood land But while my observations were under way the German Baron Hans von Berlepsch was carrying out, un- known to me, Q number of more ex- tenslve and nainstaking experiments in bird conservation on his great estate at seebach. He secured results there far more striking than any modest eff forts produced here He studied tho methods of attracting and feeding birds and those of constructing nesting boxes and preparing bird shelters. Hc carried UuL lflF EdIllt IlIFftlNF llilIlIllF Nllll birds until he had breeding on his home park of 12 acres about 1000 small birds, pairs of wild ducks one pair Of Moor hens and one of grcbcs Three hundred nesting boxes hung up in his grounds are all inhabited by birds, Tn his 400 acres of woodland there are two thous- and nesting boxes md everywhere shrubbery ls SO trimmed as to make dense and safe nesting places for tho birds while tho enemies of birds are destroyed by tho keeper of the estate.
 "The results of this work are that the estates of the Baron von Berlcpach are free from Insect injury when oth- ers suffer Tn 1905 tho woods in the country round about were stripped by caterpillars of Tortrix vrdana. The wood of von Rcrlepsch was untouched and stood out among the surrounding woods like a green oasis Al distance of a little more than a quarter of a mile from 1t the first traces Of the plague were apparent and 2 quarter of q mile further on fl appeared in full force. This Is Just about the distance that small birds carry food to their young The Prusslan government for esters have now adopted similar meas ures with like results And the Ma tional Association of Audubon societies Is now Introducing Into thls country for experimental purposes some very successful, scientifically constructed nesting boxes and feeding appliances now in use by Baron von Berlespch with tho expectation of producing slmi- lar results here"
