Bird Feeding In Winter
Time Is Very Important
individuals and Organizations Are
Urged to Cooperate In Saving
Of Wild Bird Life

1t Is very essential that an active
winter feeding program be carried
out by the general public in each
county of Minnesota. This project
should be started as early as pos
sible now and continued until
spring arrives. Unless assistance is
given the birds heavy mortality
Will result before warm weather
comes. :
The Division of Game and Fish
OF the state is planning an extern
sive bird feeding station program in
all parts Of the state. It will,
however, be impossible for this
program to be carried out this whit
er in its. entirely and help from
Minnesota's wild life enthusiasts is
needed. 80 TX E&T :. -
Another winter will find a pro-
gram sponsored by Director viii
liam D.. Stewart carried out on
augmented, statewide plans. "a
Cold weather, sleet and snow
make it difficult for wild birds
who winter in Minnesota to secure
necessary food. Vigorous birds,
well fed, are able to Withstand the
rigors of severe winter weather,
unless their food is too heavily
covered with snow.
Sportsmen's organizations and
other groups such as Boy and Girl
Scouts, women's clubs, nh Club
units, farmers organizations, civic
clubs and various other bodies, can
perform noble work in providing
food for game and insectivorous
birds during the cold winter
months. The systematic feeding of
birds is necessary to produce the
best results. A comparatively small
amount of money and a little time
would assure the safe wintering of
all the game birds and game ami
mails in each community.
Game wardens will gladly help in
this work. Farmers also, as a rule
will gladly assist in performing the
work Of actual feeding If the grain
Is furnished to them. In the ma
jority Of cases. they have informa-
ton as to where the birds are on
their properties. Game wardens
are also well informed as to loca-
tions Of birds.
As far as possible, feeding sta
tons should be located in places
protected against winds and snow
and also allowance should be made
for escape from predatory vermin.
A small pile Of sand should be sup
piled to furnish grit. Feeding. when
once started, should be continued
through the winter as the birds,
when accustomed to regular feed
ing, are less likely to shift for
themselves.
Every bird carried through the
winter successfully assures the
state Of more brood stock for the
year 1892.

one year ago. The number Of sows
bred or to be bred to farrow in the
spring Of 1882 as reported in this
survey for the United States as a
whole Is about Is per cent larger
than the number narrowed in the
spring Of 1881. However, If the us
ual spread occurs between the De-
cember Survey and the actual far
rowings reported next June the in
crease will be only about 5h per
cent.
The breeding intentions show
heavy increases in all districts of
the country except in the West
North Central states where the
intentions are the smallest reported
in December in the last seven years.
The intentions being the smallest in
the states most severely affected by
the 1881 drought.

wheat, fax, canning peas, alfalfa,
seed corn. This year he was high
man in Minnesota in the national
4-H farm accounts record contest,
receiving a fine pen-and-pencil set.
His records were also entered in the
national contest at Chicago.
In cooperation with his father,
Norman has carried on an extern
sive program of farm improvement,
including the remodeling of farm
buildings and adding of modern
conveniences. For three years he
tested the dairy herd, and through
improved feeding increased the
production more than 100 pounds
of butterfat per COW. He also in
stituted the use of commercial fer
tilizers, of soil tests for acidity, and
of innocula+ed seed.
Representing his high school de-
partment of agriculture in the State
high school Judging contest in 1929
Norman placed first in dairy cattle.
Later he represented Minnesota at
the national contest at st. Louis,
where he won second in Ayrshires
and fourth in Holsteins.
Listing a net valuation of $1100,
along with his record of activities
and accomplishments, Norman cas-
lily met the requirements for the
American Farmer" degree. These
requirements include the follow
ing: The candidate must complete
at least two years Of agricultural
work in high school; he must be an
active member and leader in the 10
cal F. F. A. chapter; he must have
attained the degree of state farm
err" he must have carried on q
broad farm practice program; he
must expect to follow agriculture
as a vocation and he must have
earned and deposited in a bank, or
otherwise productivity invested, at
least $500.
The purpose of the Future Farm
ers organization is principally to
promote vocational agriculture, to
encourage members to improve the
quality of their work, to create and
nurture a love of country life, to
promote thrift, and to afford med
ium Of cooperative buying and sell
ing. Forty-six states and Hawaii
have associations affiliated with
the F. F. A. The Minnesota asso-
citation has 26 chapters. There are
$500 chapters of the F. F. A. in the
United States and over $4,000 ac-
tive members.

Governor Olson said in his proc

During the past few years the

Oiling 1000 Additional
Miles Of Highway Planned
Program for 1882 Will Give State
More Than $500 Miles of BIZ
luminous Gravel

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment is working on plans for BIZ
luminous treatment of about 1000
miles Of graveled trunk highways
in 1882, according to announcement
by Commissioner C.. M. Babcock.
Added to the mileage already treat
ed, this will bring the total bitum-
nous mileage above $500. The
tentative paving program, prev
iously' announced, is 42s miles
which will bring the paved mileage
at the end of the season above 1900
and bring the paved and bitums-
inous total above 5000 miles.
The plans Of the department call
for oiling or tarring all stretches of
highway which are graded and
graveled, If they are in shape for
bituminous treatment and not
slated for paving in the immediate
future. The annual status of i'm
provement report, issued last week,
showed 1850 miles graded and gra-
veled, and this will be increased
when several grading projects now
under way are complied in the
spring.
Most of the milage to be paved,
however, comes out of mileage now
graded and graveled, leaving about
1000 miles suitable for treatment.
Some of the graded routes will also
require considerable frost boil
work before a bituminous treat
ment can be applied. A careful
check will be made to determine
the condition of each section be.
fore the routes to be treated are
selected. Bids will be called for
during the winter so that work
can start as soon as weather per-
mits in late spring.
Generally speaking, bituminous
gravel on routes carrying 400 or
more vehicles per day costs, less In
the long run than untreated. gravel,
although on routes with light traf-
fic the cost is somewhat higher.
Bituminous gravel is dustless, less
subject to rutting and dashboard.
ing and requires lest routine
maintenance. Less gravel is.requir-
ed for both first applicatiep ,,and
for -sresurfacing, for treated than
for untreated roads Al z.z.,,
Under average, conditions bitum-
idoas roads need retreatmept two
out of every three years. About two
thirds OF the roads already treated
will be- retreated in 1882. with each
treatment q deeper mat and more
solid surface is built up.
= In exceptional cases, where traf-
fic iszvery, heavy, roads intended
for paving in 1893 may get a light
bituminous treatment In 1882. This
may also be done on a few stretch
'es of roads Of sub-standard grade,
where there is a heavy peak-load of
summer traffic, and where perman-
ent grading is not planned for the
near future. The bulk of the blum
nous work, however, will be on
roads which are permanently grad
ed and not on the praving program
for the next bfennium.
