Did you ever stop to. think of it? Now take the Master and the Mistress at "The Hut". They are both interested in birds. But when there are so many thieves about (not only amongst wild life) one wonders whether after all it wotiidnl't be as well to let them work for themselves. Last Spring the Master planted a row of sunflowers along beside the road next to a cornpatch at the farm. If they did well, he calculated that he'd have several years. store of winter feed for the birds cailling. at ."The tut".. They grew well to about eighteen inches. Then along came the Township of Stanley weed spraying outfit. The young sunflowers which gave such promise wilted. They were done. But no, the poor young things revived after about three weeks of rainy w'eather, and though • stunted', they began to stretch up. Next the question was would they bloom in tune? They 'bloomed; late it was true. Would the heads fila out? Anxiousiy the Master and Mistress watched. The frost kept off and though not Targe, the heads began to droop. One day while visiting ,:the farm:, they saw blue jays in the big elm tree in the garden. Eleven of them flew i:nr the direction of the corn patch. "It's time I harvested the sunflowers," said the Master. When he did so, he Found that the blue jays had cleaned off about a third of the row nearest some ash trees; then someone else who must enjoy feeding birds, too, had cut off a number of the finest heads at isn't known as steal- ing, just "helping one's self") and part of the row had not developed too well. The harvested 'heads were put into sacks and stored in the kitchen so that the squirrels would not get them. After visiting the farm the next time, the Master reported: "The mice are at the sunflower seeds'." "I've heard tell" the Mastresaj con scented, "that cam- phor amphot moth balls will keep ,mice' away. Why d'on't you buy a pound and put them into the sack?" He took her advice for he had no place at "The Hut" to cure the seed's safe from "Missy" .the pet black squirrel and her brood. The Master purchased inch• mesh chicken wire, put it an a frame with, a covering stretch of wire and fastened it under the begins in the driveshed. Then he brought the sacks in, from the farm and pro- ceeded to put the sunflower heads upon the wire rack. But when he dumped one bag, out fell mice and moth balls together! ! ! And "Missy" watching her chance to "help herself" picked up a mothball. in her two front paws, looked' at it curiously, smelled it, and gently deposited it bn the ground again. Tho sunflower heads were duly laced between the wires to dry. About a month later, while looking for some tools in a box, the Master discovered a cache of sun flower seeds,. "Mice!" said he, "I will have to shell those heads out" Alas! When he went to do so, there was only enough seed left for about three days supply, Mickey Mouse and all his relatives' had been very busy, for the inch mesh didn't keep them out. And the neighbourhood cats are too well fed to keep down the mice. So after all that work and expense, the sunflower seed is being replenished from the stare. Feeding the birds soars into the million dollar bracket in Ontario, but it gives some men employment! It's a handout for the birds. They repay in part at least with their songs. And they lend colour to the bleakness of win- ter-even in•ter •even if they are soliciting a ;•,peal. McCULLOCH CHAIN SAWS Popular Models on display. Aho accessories.
