they grow wonderfully here. And so

About the first of February, the state
fish and game department is to begin
the publication of a monthly magazine
devoted to the interest of fish and game
in Idaho. 1t will have from 80 to Al
pages each month, and will have local
contributors as we'll as articles from ex-
perts Of national reputation. 1t will be

year. 1t is insended to tell all about
the fish and game conditions in Idaho;
what the laws are, how they are en-
forced, how they might be bettered,
how game resources can be conserved
while being used and enjoyed, where
and how to find game, and lots of good
stuff for the lover of outdoors. AS the
state department can use no funds to
support such a publication, it will have

FEEDING BIRDS IN WINTER
Kindly Act to Set "Dinner Table" for
the Wild Feathered Song
sters.

How best to feed the birds is al
most an art in itself. A winter lunch
counter spread with suet, nuts, hemp
seed, meat and crumbs will attract
nuthatches, chickadees, downy and
hairy woodpeckers, creepers, bluejayss
etc. Canary seed, buckwheat, oats
and hay chaff scattered on the
ground beneath will provide an ire
sistible banquet for other feathered
boarders. feeding place Of this sort
can be arranged for convenient obser-
vation from window and afford no
end of diversion and instruction. But
whether close to home or far afield,
the great secret Of success in such
work is regularity. Begin to put the
food out early in November, and let
the birds get to know that they are
always sure to find a supply of dain-
ties in certain spot, and the news
will soon spread among them. In win
try weather, especially, it is amazing
what can be accomplished by feeding
the birds regularly, and at least the
following birds have been induced to
feed from the human hand: Chicka-
dee, white breasted nuthatch, red
breasted nuthatch, brown creeper,
Carolina wren, cardinal, evening gros-;
beak, tufted titmouse, Canada jay,
Florida jay, Oregon jay, and redpoll.
Even in spring untiring patience has.
resulted in the qualification of this SUI
preme ambition of the bird lover, and
bluebird, robin, catbird, brown thrash
er and yellow throated vireo have
been known to feed from the hand of
a trusted friend, even with plenty Of
food all around,-From Boy Scouts Of
America.

Need of ventiIatfna Church.

"Our church janitors need drilling
on the subject of ventilation" says
the Downs News. "a morning or eve
ming congregation of several hundred
persons is entitled to pure air, for
there are oceans of it outside. After
the morning service the whole room
should be thoroughly aired, and yet no
doubt the doors are closed when the
people leave, and the foul air securely
boxed for the evening service. This
is dreadful, the News declares. No
wonder folks sleep and get a head
ache. They are dying for oxygen.
Open the windows, if it does take
more coal. If church once gets the
reputation of always being well ven
tilated there will be more people at
every service to drop extra coal money
In the contribution box"
