Artlong the natural guardians of the
trees are the woodpeckers, which
gather their food as they c'xeep round
. the.trauks and branelres. They have
two, toes. before and two behind for
climbini„ anti may usually be seen
clinging erect on tree trunk:, but rare-
ly, if ever, with dead downward like
the nuthatches and titmice. As the
food of the woodpecker is nearly as
aburrdalit In winter as in ounainee, they
are celdoin migratory. They never for-
age in flock:,, like some of the grani-
vorous bird; whose food is more
elentifal, but tatter out over wide
Eu ens, and thus better their fare.
They hear. the Sarna relation to other
birds that take their food from trees
as snipes and woodcocks hear to
thrushes and quails ---that is, they bore
into the wood as the nitre horse into
the earth, while thrushes and quails
seek their sustenance on the surface
of the ground.
Besides these ,.bees are a few birds
that take part of their food from trees
and the rest from the ground, includ-
ing thrushes, blackbirds and robins.
Blackbirds seldom hold up their heads,
but march along with their bills
turned downward, as it entirely de-
voted to their tasks. They never
seem to be idle., except when a flock
of them is making a garrulous noise
upon a tree. If a blackbird looks up-
ward it is only by a sudden move.
merit; he floes not step. After watek-
ing a blackbird and a robin ten min-
utes hi the same field, one would sup-
pose that the blackbird had collected
twice as much food as the robin dur-
ing that time. But this would not be
true. The robin is probably endowed
with a greater reach of sight than the
blackbird, and while flopping aboi. t
with hi.s head erect, his vision com-
prehends a wider space. The omni-
vorous blackbird hunts the soil for
everything that is nutritious, and
picks up small seeds that require a
close examination of the ground.
Blackbirds of all species walk; they
do not hop like the robins.
Sonia species of the foragers do
their work in compact assemblages.
This habit renders the snow buntings
extremely attractive. Their foto Is
not distributed in separate morsels
like that of robins and woodpeckers.
It consists of the seeds of grasses and
of composite plants, which are often
scattered very evenly over a wide sur-
. face. 'When a- flock .'of fifty or more
settle down in a field each one fares
as well as if he were alone, during the
• short time he remains on the spot.
• The foraging habits - of domestic,

ferences observed in • the manners" of
• wild birds,. Place a brood..of ducks in
a field and they will generally pursue
- one course, marching in a body over
the field with .great regularity. A
brood of chickens, on the contrary,
will scatter, occasionally reassembling,
but never keeping close together, un-
less they are following a hen. Tur-
keys scatter themselves less than
chickens, but do not equal ducks in
the regularity of their movements.

• Stacks.
Burning straw -stacks are a familiar
sight to the western traveller. At
present there is seemingly no ether
method of disposing of this by-pro-
duct of the grain harvest.
Investigations as to the possibility
of using the straw as a raw material
in manufacture were undertaken rome
years ago by different interests, but
the same conclusion was reached in
each case. The cost of transporting
the straw to a central point was more
than the traffic would tear, the cost of
manufacturing procluded competition
in the open market, and, consequently,
the use of the western straw under
the transportation handicap was not a
commercial proposition. This was es-
, pecially the case in the manufacture
of strawboard. In 1913, strawboard
prices ranged from $25 to $26 per ton.
There was little demand for this pro-
duct in the west, and, at the above
v. price, it could not compete in the east.
One leading eastern paper industry,
*which, some years ago, carefully eon-
sidered the possibilities of establish-
ing a strawboard mill in the west, re-
cently stated that, under present con-
ditions, with strawboard selling at ,$S5
to $00 per ton, such a factory could lie
made a profitable industry.
'rhe rising cost and the neecssity
for conserviug our pulpwood supply
suggest that any material capable of
being used as a substitute should be
developed. Strawboaret Is a short-
ilbicd material and is unsuitable
where strength or folding qualities are
required, but there are many uses for
which it is entirely satisfactory. In
1;118 Canada imported 4,850 tons of
strawboard, equal to the output of a,
mill producing 15 tons per day.
Non -Canadians manufactured the
strawboard we imported; we paid
them for doing so, while we burned
