FEED The BIRDS
TIMELY SUGGESTION BY sEcRE-
TARY RAWLINsoN

With the ground frozen and cover
ed with snow, birds are baffled in
their efforts to obtain food.
Secretary L. E. Rawlinson of the
Knox Co. Fish and Game association
suggests that residents of the city
hang piece of beef suet in a tree
near the house. If this is wrapped
with string. it will not come apart
and the birds will come to it each day
and feed.
A piece as large as ones fist will
last all winter and furnish sustenance
10 numerous birds which otherwise
might die of hunger Bread crumbs,
scattered on the ground, are also ex-
cellent forage.

Joy for the Birds.

With the most gigantic international quarrel
ever sprung still at a white heat and the clash
OF arms still silencing all other sounds, it is
indeed refreshing intcrude to learn that the
United States has ratified treaty with Canada
whereby all the birds migrating between the two
countries will be protected and encouraged to
multiply For many years, the organization
known as the American Game Protective and
Propagation Association has been fighting nobly
for the ratification of this treaty and there should
be a deep sense of satisfaction in both countries
that the effort has been successful at last
According to DR.. William T. Hornaday of
the New York Geological Society it has not
been an easy task to win Canada to the PROPOSE
ton. To make the project a success, it was
necessary to have the Endorsement of every
province in the Dominion, and Nova Scotia and
British Columbia slow to contribute their
approval. All the naturalists in the Dominion
were keen for its passage however, and some
OF them toured the country in advocacy of the
measure Early in August, the treaty in its final
form was sent to Sir Cecil Spring Rice the Brit
iSh Ambassador here, and although the sports
men IN the Senate protested more or less vigor-
ously ratification was secured by the friends OF
the reform, for such it certainly is.
The bird lovers of the two countries are iub-
liant over this far-reachng protective measure.
BY 1t more than 1000 species and subspeces Of
the most interesting birds of the continent of
North America will be protected from the wan
ton destruction which has been going on un-
