How the Birds Work for Us.

The current issue of Home Progress
Magazine tells of a very interesting
experiment by Mr.. f. II. Forbush,
State Ornithologist of Massachusetts,
showing how the birds will work for
us, if we will only let them. An old
neglected orchard was selected and
special efforts were made to attract
the birds during the winter months,
by preparing food that they partieu-
larry liked, and placing 1T where they
could readily find it; for instance, suet,
which was tied to the branches of the
treess5 AS a result of this effort, the
birds. instead of leaving when the
snow fell. remained; and chickadees,
nuthatches, woodpeckers, and creepers
spent the winter in this old orchard,
eating large numbers of eggs OF the
fall canker- worm moth and the larvae
Of other injurious insects. In the
spring, when the female canker worm
moths appeared, the chickadees FED on
these. other trees in the sneighbor-
hood were badly infested with worms.
while this orchard where the winter
birds had been at work was practical-
" free from them; the few which oiu
annear were easily disposed of by the
summer birds which came to the To-
cality. The other orchards were al
most stripped of their foliage, but TINS
one retained its leaves, and with one
exception was the only orchard in the
neighborhood to produce any lrui''
IT is interesting to note that the ex-
ception was the orchard nearest 'he

tried

A Former Shoe Workers Dinner.

etc.
The farmers wife was contented
and enjoyed almost living out OF
doors. The house was old, but she
soon made it clean and cosy Tn
sanitary conditions were done away
with-the well in the shed was dis
carded and water brought from a
spring in the field. An old sink
drain was filled with sand, as was Il
disease and pest breeding basin in the
barn yard.
The first year was a hard one and
little was left for pleasure and lux
uries in the second year; but the third
brought splendid returns in sweet
corn and potatoes. This year there
is peace plenty, and new baby in the
family, and the ex-shoe worker
OWNS the farm he leased less than
five years ago.

farm, but it is home and so far there

1t is reported that partridges are so
plenty in the Rangeley region that no
gun is necessary in order to secure the
birds, and that the boys frequently
kill them by throwing stones at them.
One of the West RangeIey boys. Clyde
Pillsbury, proved his craftsmanship
recently. He was on his way home
from Rangeley village when he scared
up partridge. He stopped his horse,
got out and picked up stone and
threw it, bringing down the bird.

to become personally familiar with the
