GOOD FEELING Between
EXTRA AND AUDUBON


1t is a pleasure to see such plea
SAINT relationships between towns
as now exist between Extra and Au-
dubon. The lurking selfshness that
has been so prevalent for many
years and SO pronounced that the
heels with the spur on we're always
visible has passed away; and in its
place has come love, fraternity and
just and affectionate considera-
ton for one another. We rejoice
with Audubon when she rejoices
and mourn with her when calamity
overtakes her. Let us still further
fraternize with each other and min
gle more in business and in pleasure.

: Notes

The winter storms will soon be
aere in which the birds will need
our care and protection. Are we
ready? Sleet and snow will cover
their food and many will die if we
do not provide for them.
Every farm should have at least
one feeding place. An open fronted
box placed on top Of a pole, against
a building or on a tree is easily
fixed and serves the purpose very
WE'LL
The more birds we have the
greater our crops; so,> you see we
are doing a service for ourselves
when we provide for the birds.
Feeding them will not prevent them
from working for us. They prefer
their own kind Of food and visit
our feeding places only when they
are not able to find enough else
where.
A cheese box lid on top Of a pole
for a feeding shelf attracts many
birds and you can watch them eat.
Crack some nuts and scatter on the
shelf and you will attract nut
matches, chickadees and many 9TH
ers. Suet is a favorite food also.
Woodpeckers become very tame
and will come close to you for
feed Of suet.
Be sure cats can not reach the,
place where you feed the birds.
Scatter crumbs from the table,
wheat, oats, popcorn, cracked corn,
cracked nuts, rice, sunaoWer; seed
or buckwheat, any orsall of these
on your shelf and see how many
birds will visit it. They will pay
you back with interest next sum-
mer.
