The National Association OF Audubon
societies is she pioneer OF bird protection
/ in this country. Though its efforts Atty
two national bird reserves have been set
aside and maintained. and many places
hayes been supplied with wardeus 10 pro-
tect the birds curing the breeding season.
Germany has preceded us in the con-
servation OF birds as we'll as OF the forests,
and has done much to supply in artificial
ways what has been DESTROYED through
carelessness or by widespread cultivation
OF the land. They are growing hedges
where certain birds can nest, cutting off
the tops OF trees in places so that they may
spread out lower branches, thus forming
the thiokets that birds love and that have
been too thoroughly done away with by
civilization.
They tie bushes together to make better
shelter, hang ssiifully- constructed boxes
everywhere possible to take the place OF
dead trees. The grand duchy OF Hesse
installed 100 OF these boxes In the gov
eminent forests that were all in time dis
covered by the birds and taken possession
VI. Inc RoSttunent mas also ORDERED the
old trees to be left standing in the crown
forests that the natural nesting places be
not all destroyed.
Baron Won Berlepsch, called the father
of modern scientific bird conservation,
has equipped his large estate at Seebach as
an experimental station for bird protec-
tion. His methods OF feeding, his skill in
initiating the natural holes found in old
trees that birds use for nesting purposes,

Ing birds that nest in the grass, bushes,
thickets, tall trees. dead trees, clay banks,
etc., feel at home are copied by many
other landowners.
And the wisdom OF his protection has
been thoroughly proved, for at times when
adjoining estates were ruined by insect
pests, his we're fresh and unframed, an
undeniabie proof OF the service the birds
render mankind when permitted to do so.
His orchards furnished with nesting
boxes are free from csterpiliars when all
the rest of the neighborhood suffers from
these pests.
