Feed The Birds

For the past ten days or two
weeks the ground has been so cover
ed with snow as to make it impossi-
bic for the birds in the country to
secure anything to eat; this is par
ticularly true of cartridges. Such
being the case, the public generally,
in the interest of saving the birds,
is earnestly requested to feed them.
A few handfuls of grain will mean
hundreds of birds next season; be-
sides, no one wants to let the dear,
innocent birds starve. Look up the
birds around your place and feed
them, remembering the words of the
Blessed Master, 'Inasmuch as We did
it unto the least of these. we did it
unto Me"

In these days Of increased prices,

how much the modest hen can do to
relieve the situation. One Cam

between Jan. 1st, 1917, and Dec. 81,
1917, from fifty-nine hens. From
these 749 dozen and 2 eggs she has
gotten over 500. 1t took very little
trouble to get the aforementioned
results, the hens having been left in
the barn loft in mid-winter, and al
lowed to run in a small plot wired
off for them during the remainder
of the year. In addition to having
nice, fresh eggs upon all occasions,
it has given this thrifty Cambridgean

If the invitation is written in the
