Kven Chi- | cago, the “Windy city,” has an hour- | ly average of two miles less than Boston. Nearer home, in New York, the hourly average of the wind's movement is the same as At of Chicagn, nine miles, and in Portland it only five mile There are a score of cities where the wind has attained a higher veloc- ity than the Boston record of seventy two miles, but that is another stor The thing that counts is the daily and hourly averaze through tae year.

Birds suffer far food in winter than which we imagine enemy. Natur bodies with warm thers, which protect them from the cold as well as from the wet, but na- ture has not endowed them with thrift. Urlike the bees, which toil during the summer to lay up a store of honey for the months when flowers no lon- ger bloom, or the squirrels, which fill their homes in hollow trees with nuts, the birds flit about with little care or thought for the days of winter. And therefore they nced our help and sym- pathy. Food Supplies Ceases in Winter, Food for the birds is easily obtained during the greater part of the year. | Worms are easily had from the ground and insects from the air, and from open windows and doorways there are thrown many fragrants which are val- ued by the birds. But with the approach of winter there come freezing of the ground and the total disappearance of fnsects, and windows and doors are kept tightly closed, so ther comes an most total cessation of the food supply at just the time when the cold of win- ter renders the need for abundant food even more insistent, than ever. In the country there are sources of | food supply which are not often avail- | able for birds in the Barnyards | and stable afford much of their suste- nance, and even wind-swept corn fields are apt to offer some small amount of food, but these resources are denied to birds which flit about the city's meaning of their and hear | tales more from lack of from the cold their chief clothed thelr tiny garments of fea- has [ i | | | city young in nooks and crannies the birds costs Befriending one come along., with a 1cok | yothing and involves only th of a i , rice, The scatterir rumbs or a little barle almost any kind of a window v hirds in throngs the dole is to be will appear at the wait until the the food laid At ny meat I vare exertion grain « ill attra and if they or upon n given each is and and proper time window out for market which the v The animal tiny hodies is opened them one may obtain P birds value fat suet, delica sup- their which is If the suet where a warmth, the cold ir. some 1 ac ss the sion of bir a protectior nst e it & o tied or will he easy of ant e will be attendance treat ns ueed what 8 in to holiday is 2 suffer From Thirst. from thirst ser during the cold weather ources of water supply small and ¥ with water sufficiently y unfrozen for 1 hour or two will | quench the thirst of the throng of 1it- tie feathered creatures who appear at the window sill to be fe Many friends of the birds who might provide hou for them are apt to defer their benefactions until the com- ing the mating season, in the early spring, but a bird house will be quick]y Birds from hur during the suffe vel winter most 1 a8 fc their froxen up. pan filled warm to remain ve shalloy | a of for the not wait to offer would 1 real hird house roof One need the winter hirds the passing of shelter which Often, be had which the arranged be fixed to outside wall—perhaps just outside a window-—to serve the dual capacity of a shelter and a feeding place Such | a box should he 1wt the open is toward south, for in that se it would be protected from the wind rain i Such smail which the children can hestow upon the birds about our homes, will suve many little | lives, Bifds have a purp very fixed nd definite in the economy of nature, and we have an obligation to them which he paid way 0 ae- ceptable to the birds as our remem- bering their in the where | the merest hirds take | ing stor may A small wooden box may an value. annot heneath refuge f easily be the may rom Ariv- a 50 placed the usually and the kindness side can in no needs winter n With Marvelous Memory for Cat- tle Brands the Interesting de { month to add another 2,006,000 baleg | in the public interest not hire six to that export score of 5,000,000 bales | This principle runs into large figures ment L] In People part of | nafled | Ke [ o out | charges against e McMILLAN'S Baldwin | Double Service House Dresses $1.00 and $1.49 Every | merits of thie | double service House I pring line stock, 36 ings 1.00 House Dresses, at 79¢ each. in woman should know in The sizer the practical twe one, new , in i All neat to pretty All checked sizes neat striped and ginghams.
