are none too plentiful this season and
the three Moline nimrods did not have
the best of luck. Plenty of brush piles
were found-haunts of the Dummies on
cold days-but careful searching by
the prize ferret failed to scare up one.
Every fellow was getting desperate.
Even the ferret wasn't having any fun.
At last the hunters discovered brush
pile that looked promising. The fer
ret was sent on it's mission, while the
trio waited patients. The seconds
rolled by, but no rabbits appeared.
Suddenly something shot out of the
brush pile on the side where Palmgren
was standing. Bang went his trusty
shotgun and down went the game.
Did you get one?' shouted Carlson.

surfing reply.
Then Palmgren and Carlson ran 10
the spot where the game had dropped
to discover that the ferret was a vic
tim of Palmgrens uuerring aim.

Few dairygHen can afford to with

1t is claimed by good authorities
that III some cases an animal loses
more than a pint Of blood each day
and such losses and suffering mean
that they can return no profit at the

manner
In nearly every dairy section flies

ATTRACT BIRDS AND PROTECT FRUIT
By Planting Early Varieties of Wild Fruit, Birds May
be ToIIed Away From Cultivated Trees; TIE
Mulberry is Favorte
BY w. L. McATEE

the largest number of species Of birds,
namely. CT. Raspberries and black
berries are known to be eaten by 60
species, mul liberties by 48, dogwood
fruits by At, those of the on-poison-
Gus sumachs by "A the various wild
cherries by 80 and blue berries by 81.
This com pletes the list Of fruits known
to be chosen by more than 80 species
Of birds
A great many other varieties which
grow in localities where these are not
plentiful are also very attractive to
birds
aliuring birds away from the early
orchard fruits. Early bearing yarie-
ties should be planted in mum bers
and some should be selected for the
| length Of the fruiting season. The
Hicks and the Black Persian are nota-
bic in the latter respect, while the
Townsend is earliest for the South
and the Russian for the North.
Where 1t is desired to attract birds
and afford them a sanctuary at all
seasons, a large variety Of plants must
be used. For this purpose thicketS OF
shrubs and other low gTowths are bet
ter than trees, since tangieS OF bushes
I and vines afford a more secure retreat
. from bird enemies and are the IA
vorfte cover Of many species.
Where birds occur in large numbers
their enemies are sure to congregate.
Hence grounds especially designed to
attract birds should also be furnished
with devices to insure security from
cats and other predatory animals.
Fences made proof against climbing
invaders by overhanging wire netting
are essential, and inverted funnel
shaped metal guards or loose spirals
Of barbed wire should be placed
around the trunks of nest trees to pro
tect the occupants. Bird houses Of
various types add to the possibilities
of bird gardens. and a never-fafling
supply of water is an essential. The
basin should be shallow, SO as to
serve both for bathing and drinking,
and should be placed in an open lawn
or elevated so that birds resorting to
1t will not be at the mercy Of enemies.
Assured safety and q plentiful supply
of food and drink will work wonders
in attracting birds.

Birds play very important part
in the economy of nature and by their
destruction of insects lend material
aid in keeping the balance true, Both
the farmer and the orchardist are
greatly Indebted to birds for the des-
tructiOn of insects and weed seed .
Both for practical and esthetic rea-
sons, there is a demand for informa-
ton as to the best method Of in
creasing the bird population in re-
stricted areas, particularly on the
farms and about homes. There is d
demand also for the provisioning of
large preserves for both land and
water game birds and the protection
of crops by culuvating seed and
fruit bearing plants more useful to
birds than to man.
Various other factors may be made
to contribute to the success of efforts
to attract birds such as a supply Of
water for drinking and bathing, nest
ing boxes, protection from enemies.
and winter feeding: but the main pur-
pose is to call attention to the plants
which best serve to provide food for
birds and to draw their attention
away from cultivated crops
Our native shrubs should be utl~

many of them are not exceeded in
beauty or interest by foreign plants.
attractive to birds than exotics. It
should be borne in mind also that
SIN oothly trimmed hedges and the
stiff trees Of formal garden are not
nearly SO attractive to birds as un-
trained bushes and tangled thickets.
Shrubs of sterile varieties or those
closely pruned after blooming are
not sought by birds, while those al
lowed to ripen fruit are often crowded
with feathered visitors Moreover.
plants clustered with fruit Of vary
ing color are more beautiful and in
teresting than those which exhaust
their energy in one burst Of bloom
and are of monotonous appearance
thereafter.
The best shrubs and trees for at
tracing birds are those most resorted
to for food, and the extensive records
of bird food in the Biological Survey
make their selection an easy task
The berries OF elders are eaten by
