TosIncrsase Useful Birds.
From the Boston Transcript.


The; decrease OF bird life in various
countries. and our own in particular. has
long ceased to be a question OF negligible
Importance. but measures to check 1t
have for the most part been confined TO
voluntary and none too well supported
societies that realize the danger to cur
economic interests. The governments or
various countries are, however. taking the
matter up. and even In the United states
1t is receiving more attention than usual.
Germany has a government commission
to carry out fa-reaching plans for the In
crease Of useful birds, and most OF the
other countries of Europe are acting to a
greater or less extent along similar lines.
The pioneer In this movement Is said to
be Baron Won Berlepsch OF Germany. He
has given his mature years to a study OF
ways and means. and on 400 woodland
acres of his estate he has maintained
about 1900 nesting boxes, 90 per cent OF
which have heen occupied bp he feath-

"There-over in the grass!" she

hair on his bare head bristling like
a startled animals.
He turned squarely about toward
