PARADISE FOR THE BIRDS
Providence Seems to Have Provided

Friends Of Man.

Up In the far country where the
timber fails. the calendar Is respect

official day set for it. The ground is
held fast by frost until June is we'll
started. There are flurries of snow,
wild. bitter winds. sky that has no
mercy. And then, suddenly, the wind
shifts and comes out of the south. 1t
is summer then with a leap.
The interest of the temperate zone
in the northland is that 1t is there
that have gone a great many of the
migrating birds which paid us q few
days visit and passed on. For all it's
inhospitality to man. this country in
summer is a paradise for birds. Its
marshes are safe refugees from two
and four-footed enemies. There Is ex-
haustless material for nests. And out
of the pools come myriads of insects.
