For Feothered Visitors
Bird-Feeding Stations in Yard
Add Interest During Winter

they cannot climb q smooth wire.
I1closing the feeder In q wire
cage is not satisfactory. Birds
are afraid OF it, and only q few
win enter through the small
openings.
Sheltered spots. other things
being equal, are the most favored
locations. but it is just as feasi-
BILE to purchase a feeder that
has inclosed sides which will
shelter the visitors from wind
and rain. Those with glass on
two sides, the feeding rack on
the third, and with the fourth
open are widely recommended.
Noriety Of Feed Necessary
Feeding stations, to attract
the greatest variety of visitors,
should be supplied with asvariety
Of bird foods. Some birds like
the small seeds, while there are
others that like such juicy tid-
bits as the sunfioWer seeds. The
feeding guides put out by the
Audubon Society contain useful
hints. However. the garden sup
ply stores have prepared mix
lures. Suet. fats, peanut butter
and similar prepared foods will
often draw the birds. Most kinds
of feeding stations have pro-
vision for placing a variety of
foods where the visitors may feed
upon them.
In addition to a good boarding
place, birds need a source Of
water. This is especially impor-
tant when temperatures are be-
low freezing. Placing a small
pan Of warm water on a warm
brick or other object that will
hold heat for sometime will serve
reasonably well. OF course, a
followed brick will keep water
In q liquid condition longer than
II In small pan.
Whatever the equipment or
the feed supply. the gardener will
find that feeding birds In the
winter is an interesting and re-
warding experience. Once started
1t will develop and expand be-
cause Of the interest most people
sooner or later take in the feath-
cred visitors.

BY M. n. Younsmon

One way to add interest to the
garden during the drab winter
season Is to erect several bird
feeding stations. They can put
life into the garden by attracting
many kinds of birds. Not only
do the colorful cardinals, blue
Jays and other regular residents
stay close by, but some of the
less common birds will take up
residence II supplied regularly
with attractive foods.
Garden supply stores now
feature both the readymade
feeding stations and good stocks
of foods.
If the feeding stations are To-
Gated where their visitors can be
observed from the windows, the
owner probably will soon buy a
bird guide to learn the species
which are attracted to his yard.
Some gardeners have gone so
far as to place their feeding sta
tions where they can be supplied
from the window, which, of
course, saves tramping through
the slush and wet.
A. station, to be most success
full, must be kept well stocked at
all times. This is of considerable
Importance when sleet, snow and
ice completely obliterate the
normal food sources.
Birds Need 'Escope' Perch
Keep in mind that the birds
need a handy shrub or bush into
which they may retreat. # the
station is located close to a holly
tree. a clump Of evergreens, or
even rosebush, the feathered
visitors will feel more secure
than II 1t were located In the
open q considerable distance
from protective cover.
Squirrels are not an enemy Of
the birds, but they do present q
problem. If the station 10 at the

This Week in the Gurden

Mid December is the time of
year when there is less thought
of activity out Of doors than at
almost any other season of the
year. (1) We could prune and
do other odd chores, but it is
hardly the season for such ac-
tivity. 90 There is no need to
be concerned about soil moisture.
The recent rains have taken that
worry away. (3) OF course, if
the beds were not drained so as
to carry standing water away,
that is must" job or we will
lose some of the perennials and

It Is not too late to start a

for bloom during the holiday
season. The florists have pre-
pared pips" which are dormant
roots that have been treated for

are already started will flower
within a comparatively short
time. The dormant roots sell
dom flower under three weeks
and at lower temperatures t65
to 10 degrees. It may take four
weeks for them to bloom.
The pips do not need to be in

Cold Woter for House PIonts

The house plants will probably
need more attention now that
the furnaces are stirring up dust.
One of the ways to keep them
healthy and free of insects and
dusts is to give them q blast of
cold water. Use warm water on
the African violets and gloxinias.
Place the potted plants in the
sink or bath tub and spray with
a strong blast of water. It will
thoroughly discourage the suck
ing insects as well as remove
dust from the foliage. If the job
is continued long enough the
water will rinse the salt out OF
the soil. This job should be done
every week or two to keep the
plants in a good state Of health,
attractive, and free from insect
pests.

Holly Evergreen Pruning

There is one job that we can
get ready for-trimming the hol-

season when we can do that job
and make good use of the trim
mings in wreathes. sprays, and
other attractive decorations for
the holiday season. The more
we do OF this kind of pruning the
more attractive and interesting
the shrubs will be, because. it
stimulates branching and COM

Collect Boeworm cocoons

Now is a good time to collect
the cocoons of the bagworm.
They are easily seen at this sea-
son of the year. A good many
OF them contain a hundred or
more eggs which if left unmo-
Tested will provide a sizable army
of hungry young worms next
spring. Burning is a painless
way to keep them out of circu-
lation.
Cleaning up the fence corners
by removing weeds, leaves and
other materials that normally
serve as winter quarters for in
sectS and diseases helps to re-
duce the spraying problems next
spring as well as to improve the
appearance of the yard.
The odd lots of fertilizer might
well be dumped into the compost
pile along with the leaves and
weeds. It will speed the decay
of the compost as well as in
crease its plant food content.

Tompkins TO Build
Providence Hospital

Charles H. Tompkins Co. has
been awarded the contract for
constructing buildings in the new
Providence Hospital at Twelfth
and Varnum streets NE.
The hospital board of direc-
tors announced yesterday that
the firm was low bidder in re-
bidding on revised plans and
specifications.
The contract with the Tomp-
kins Co is for $6,268,000. A sep
arate contract for installation of
elevators was awarded to the Otis
Elevator Co. on its low bid of
$238. 900.
The board said re-bidding on
the project was held because of
technical difficulty in the first
bidding and certain alterations
in plans"
Alterations involved inclusion
of the fixed equipment in the
contract, taking separate bids
for the elevators and redesigning
portions of road entrances and
exits to the new hospital in ac-
cordance with District Zoning
Board requirements.
When bids were first submitted,
the low bidder was the John Nc
! LShain Co.
