What Has Become of the Birds?

Editor Journal: As one walks through the
forests and fields OF our country he cannot help
noticing the scarcity Of native and migratory
birds. In ramble but very few are to be
seen compared TO the many that our older peo-
pie remember seeing, when younger, that the
observer cannot help but wOnder-with sadness,
tOO-where they have gone.
I well remember, when a boy. how the shade
trees around the old homestead used to ring
morning light TO the last rays OF the setting
sun.
These birds were not confined TO one variety.
for there were many different kinds that took
up their abodes near 70 peoples dwellings, where
suppose they more readily found food from
the refuse Of the occupants larder. perhaps
their instinct taught them that they were more
secure from toe hawks owls or other birds OF
prey In the forests.
But all this seems TO be changed and one rare
u sees near his home. or IN the fields or
woods any bird-life excepting the destructive
little English sparrow which has neither beauty
nor song. Who can tell what has become Of
the frisky little wren, and, why do we no longer
hear the warbllngs OF the blue bird, the native
sparrow. and the JoesWink? But few catbirds
are ever seen and the little pew-wee has be-
come entirely extinct. What has become OF the
