OLD TIRE CHAINS
 WILL SAVE BIRDS

Hartford, July 3i - The annual summer toll of farm poultry and ground nesting wildlife taken by the broad knives of moving machines can be greatly reduced by use of Q simple device utilizing discarded auto tire chains, a bulletin today Of tho state Board of Fisheries and Game advises farmers.
 The device, called . flushing bar, consists of a pole attached to the front end of the mower tongue and extending out to the right several feet in advance of the knife bar, old tire chains are suspended from the pole an ddrag along the ground when the mower is in use.
 The chains, brushing over the tall grass, flush from their nests poultry which "steals" nests and lie con- cealed in hay fields, as well aa pheasants, quail and other wildlife, before the Iow-swecping knives can reach them.
 The mower operator. warned by q fused bird. can quickly lift thc knife bar and thus also avoid dee- trOying brood of nestlings or z clutch Of eggs,
 "0ame Management Circular NO 2", which describes the "iiughina bar in detail, will be mailed free te any farmer upon request, the board announces.
