| Reports continue to be heard of the
suffering of birds which have come from
farther south only to be caught in our
DELAYED winter A Barre man coming
downtown this morning saw robin
! perched on telephone wire which was
evidently near the perishing stage from
the cold and hunger. Anyone who Will
acatter crumbs where the birds can find
them will be doing our feathered visit
ors a good turn, but some Of the birds
are too shy to come very near houses. It
is suggested that piece Of suet tied to a
tree will prove very appetizing to the
birds and viii undoubtedly save the lives
Of some Of them An unusually large
variety of birds had arrived only to have
4 their sources of food from seeds, etc.
/ buried by the spring storm. The same
man who saw the suffering robin this
i morning stated that a sumac tree IN
/ front of his house had been completely
/ cleaned of its seeds since the storm OF
/ last week, quantities of birds feeding
/ there. Spare some of the crumbs from
/ your table for the spring guests.
