The Bird Table.

In the old countries Of Europe the
bird table may still be seen in the
rural districts a bird table IS made
by driving short stake into the
ground and firmly mailing sha!lo"
wooden box on top Of it. The box
generally measures two by three feet
and has number Of holes in the
bottom to drain it Of rain or snow
water. 1t is always high enough to
be beyond reach Of any cat that might
try to leap TO it from the ground Care
also is taken TO select spot far enough
from fences, trees or buildings TO pre-
vent cats from bouncing down on it
when the birds are feeding. Into the
bird table go scraps from the house
table and kitchen, pieces Of stale
bread and cake, strips of fat meat,
potato parings, carrot ends. bits OF
any kind of table green's. apple skins
and cores and cabbage leaves. All
kinds Of nonmigratory birds come
to feed ut the bird table, and many
song bird has been saved by it from
starvation when deep snow has Gov
cred the ground and seed grasses. An
English naturalist counted twenty
seven species of birds ut the bird table
in his garden in single morning
after heavy fall OF snow.
