WINTER BIRD FEEDING.
Bureau OF Biological Survey Of U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture Suggests.

In order that birds may be helped safe
~ through the approaching winter when
snow will cover many OF their usual
sources OF food, the bureau OF the bio
logical survey of the u. $. department OF
agriculture Is urging city park officials
to make bird feeding an activity IN the
city pleasure grounds.
Letters have been sent TO the officials
OF parks in the northern parts OF the
United States pointing out the value OF
birds TO the community because Of their
destruction OF insects injurious to trees
and crops; and calling attention TO
farmers bulletins 62l, relating to the
Northeastern, and 100, relating 20 the
northwestern states, issued by the de-
partment, which offer practical sugges'
tions for attracting and feeding birds.
The furnishing OF facilities for feeding
the birds in the city parks, ii is pointed
out, will give enjoyment to many people,
especially bird lovers.
The letter continues:
"Winter feeding may be done in the
simplest ways, as by putting up suet In
small cans, in cocoanuts, or under wire
netting, and by scattering mixed seeds
on bare places; or more elaborate APP
paratus and more varied foods may be
used We enclose publication giving
details of the methods OF feeding and
attracting wild birds and trust that you
will be interested in adding bird feeding
stations to the attractions in your parks.
BY means OF them you can bring to con-
venient observation points several spe-
eies of the most attractive, interesting
and valuable birds. Such feeding sta
tions are of great interest to children
and give the boys and girls a chance to
learn birds while they are having the en-
ioyment of feeding them.
"The bulletin we enclose specializes on
the use of fruit producing trees and
shrubs in attracting birds and we hope
that this feature also will be of interest
TO YOU.
ave are aware that park officials in
various cities have already taken up bird
feeding and that the movement has
proved popular. We shall be glad to re-
ceive reports on the success of the plan
from any who have tried it, and those
who have not are urged to do so even il
only on small scale. We are sure that
the results will be satisfactory TO them
as well as helpful to the birds"

Store Up Energy.

1t is dangerous thing to use up all OF
your physical and mental energy as you
go along You should not, as so many
people constantly do, encroach upon your
reserve. You should use each day only
the force which is generated during the
"a hours. If you use up more physical
or mental energy during the day than
you generate as you 60 along, it doesn't
take mathematician to show how soon
you will be in physical bankruptcy.
Everyone should keep in his physical
bank large reserve of energy for emer-
gencies, says the Irish World. 1t may
occur in your business, when your prec-
ous capital may be in jeopardy and you
have to draw very heavily upon your re-
serve. 1t may come to the lawyer In
some critical case upon which his whole
reputation and future hang. He may be
obliged to work day and night to save
his client and his own reputation. 1t
may come to the physician in times OF
great epidemics. when he can get very
little rest. 1t comes often to the moth
err, in sickness in the family, when for
weeks she may have to watch over her
loved ones with only the minimum OF
rest and sleep.
Now, these emergencies come to all OF
us at one time or another, and they are
the test of our reserve strength. II we
do not have sufficient we pay the pen
altv in shattered health.
IieS shall we get and maintain this
necessary reserveY Certainly not by
constant overworking and goading brain
and body to the limit of endurance. We
can get and hold our maximum GOT
strength and efficiency only by regular
living and sufficient rest and sleep; these
are the great energy builders, life renew
ers. life refresheners; the great life con-
servers.
