How to Feed Them All Winter to Their
Own Tastes.

How to Feed Them All Winter to Their
Own Tastes.
One of the main things necessary in
feeding the birds in winter is to see
that it is done regularly. They get
used to coming to the feeding place
and suffer when food is not there. The
food should always be in good condi-
ton and suitable for the birds for
which 1t Is intended.
Mountain ash berries are always well
come A small box containing old NOR
tar, salt, fine poultry grit, should be
placed where the birds can get 1t. Wa
ter free from ice is also most impor-
tant. Keep the English sparrows away
as much as possible.
As for the kinds of food curd Is
much relished. Hemp Is one of the
best seeds for seed eating birds. Japa-
nese millet Is also good. Broken nuts
of all kinds, sunfower seed, squash
seed and cracked corn will attract
nuthatches, chickadees and bluejays.
Blemished or wilted oranges cut in
half or specked apples are greedily
eaten. Most birds prefer oats to
wheat Sheaves of wheat, oats or bar
ley securely fastened to pole and put
out on the lawn become a feeding
place de luxe. Common table salt is
much relished by many birds. Old
mortar and fine poultry grit are en-
jOyed by cross bills and other birds.
Bread or cake crumbs, broken biscuits,
ground oats and wheat, canary seed,
boiled rice, celery tops and chopped
meat will all be eaten by the various
birds. Mountain ash berries are fine
to use during the spring migration;
also butternuts, scraps of meat, pump
kin and apple seeds.
Trim your porches in the fall with
evergreen branches. The green at
tracts the birds. Place feed boxes
among the branches and suspend them
from the ceiling. Fasten suet and fat
meat where the birds can get it. Co.
coanut shells cut in half and suspended
by wires make safe and good feeding
places
For birds that viii eat only on the
ground keep a space clear from snow
directly under your window from which
food can be dropped without disturbing
the birds.
Birds attract birds. Gradually draw
them close to the house by scattering
broken nuts on the trees and ground.

ness. Among the assets we note SIS, 7461O
as cash on hand. Last year the cash on
hand was $6073, which necessitated a
$4,000 short time loan at 4 per cent for
use until the 1916 tax money was avail
able. This loan was all paid in Novem-
Der and the selectmen took up an old
note of $1,000, running at 8 per cent.
Not withstanding the fact that the school
department exceeded their appropriation
by Sf013.76; the poor account by
S525.47, the highway account by S745.-
OS and also that $1,000 was voted for
state roads and $500 for indexing rec

March Meeting Matters

The near approach OF the annual to wp
meeting brings 10 the foreground many
matters OF interest to all tie voters oil
Morristown. 1t is the purpose of this
article to briefly present. some matters OF
Importance that should be given careful
consideration by the voters.
Every year brings new problems but
possibly the most perpexing question
for the officers each year is the matter Of
fulfilling the instruction of voters with
the funds that are voted at the annual
town meeting, for OF the many items of
expense very few are discretionary wi
the officers. The town is compelled by
law to furnish each year large sums for
state and county taxes, care OF the poor,
permanent bridges, the up-keep OF all
highWays-especially the selected state
roads aud maintenance of schools But
besides these, many other items of ex-
pense are voted annually and it is be-
cause of these various items that the
voters should act understandingly each
year. This year we shall be called upon
in Morristown to consider an appropra-
ton for school building purposes, also
the item of the up-keep and maintenance
of our selected highways, of which few
realize the Importance. In the past few
years thousands OF dollars have been
spent building this selected highway,
but thus far no funds have been designat.
ed for the up-keep of the same or for re-
pairs thereon. Is this right? Should we
not plan to care for these roads as we do
other expensive pieces of town property?
Is it not fact that we have been build
ing more miles of permanent state road
than we are properly caring for? If so,
then should we not plan funds to care
for what we have rather than to contin-
ue building the same number of miles and
do no maintenance or repair work? As
the state has always matched the town
dollar for dollar for this work and in
some cases furnished two to one, it
would be very easy matter to provide
a sum that would easily accomplish a
very considerable amount of this much
needed work
Regarding appropriations which should
be considered in this connection, the at
tention of the writer has been called to
the fact that for several years back the
voters have not made adequate provision
for all sums appropriated, which has
necessitated the use of funds for purposes
other than those intended. Going back
to 1913, the year the Library was built,
we voted annu ally appropriations rang
ing from $2375 to $3.50 and in no in
stance did we provide more THAI 71a
cents on the dollar, or $500, which lett
a deficit each year of from 1915 to $3.50,
or total in four years of $5075. There
is only one conclusion to be drawn,
if the above amounts had all
been properly provided for by sufficient
tax, instead OF deficit, that amount
would have been paid on the old debt. |
When we vote certain amounts to do a
specified work, should we not see to it
that tax is raised for that purpose
In so doing there would be no excuse for
all work not being done by the officers 10
compliance with the wishes of the voters. |
