Gals. however, and do deyour raven
onsly the food put out for the other
birds ! have noted more dissension
among various species OF the native
birds ti,an ever noted among the
sparrows and the natives.
But, going back to my subject, the
reasons advanced for the passing Of
the native birds are rather logical, but
II seems TO me the friends OF these
feathered songsters may fight the i'm
pending disaster.
The menace which threatens these
birds is mainly the extremely cold
winters and the lack OF shelter and
food. early thousands of our pref
test birds are sacrificed for want OF
shelter and food.
The terrific rain and hailstorms,
now common in this latitude, kill
thousands of birds during the summer
months and young birds in nests and
even unmatched eggs by the hundreds
are destroyed and the old birds are
buffeted about and many of them
killed.
Once magnificent cuckoo or rain
crow" as he Is commonly called was
blown against our. house and killed
during a severe storm. We discover
| ed him with broken pinions lying on
the roof o porch as the storm re-
coded. So beautiful was this specl-
men that We gave him to a taHider-
mist TO mount. This was a tragedy
in our household as these birds are
scarce about our place and are said
to be quite secretive, seldom appear
ing in the open.
If the cause assigned for the rapid
depletion Of the bird stock Is lack
of shelter and food in the winter
months it seems TO me this might be
remedied at least to a large extent
II farmers and those living in the
outskirts or near the woods would
see to It that food is regularly placed
in some protected spots where the
birds could readily find It, especially
at times when the ground is covered
with snow and nc food is available
elsewhere.
Why wouldn't it be good idea for
the farmers to work this proposition
on cooperative or profit sharing
basis? Let the birds profit by a few
hay stacks left standing and few
bushels of corn put by for their con-
sumption and brought forth at the
their share in the hundreds Of bush
els of grain fruit and vegetables
saved for them by these birds who
yearly destroy millions of worms and
insects are wont to make heavy IN.
roaos on the crops OF the farmers.
Then as to shelter for these birds
some fence rails stacked up in a fence
corner a few hay stacks left stand
ing in field and meadow, some sheds
or boxes placed at convenient places
would afford shelter for them.
We have a pair of Cardinals which
have stayed with us for years and we
always see to 1t that in winter they
are provided with grain and water and
