in the ground with sheaf of grain at
tached to the top. This is a custom gen
orally observed in Norway during the
rigorous winter season that the fowls of
the air may not want for subsistence 1t
is beautiful custom and one which
from its Humanitarian standpoint, calls
for the emulation of all to do likewise.
The happy and hardy snow-bird, our
winter companion, is the real beneficiary
while cartridges and prairie chickens
must not be overlooked. Every farmer
ought to have pole with sheaf on the
end of it stuck securely in a snow drift
or any other convenient place, prefer.
ably some distance from the buildings.
