Not every man has the 'chance or the inclination to feed the spar- rows, but I love to do it, and be- silles, they love it; I see it in their, enea. If my judgment is sound, and on this vital issue I think it 'is, we have more sparrows in Can- ada today than we had fifty years age. They have in the meantime suffered grievous disaster, but they overcame it. The passing of the horse from road traffie, the substi- tution of the auto and the truck has limited their food suply, but they have survived. Am I doing justice to my feathered friends if I make this feeding business a regu- lar habit? I may deprive them of initiative. They may lose their capacity to fend for themselves. -There was a peculiar gleam in the' eye of. one of the older spar- rows—I call him Willianl, a serious name for a serious bird. He wasn't eating much. I wondered if he was sick. No, he wasn't—he was just thinking. Then suddenly I knew what he was trying td convey to the,nther sparrows—at least this is how it sounded to me: "A friend who will qiyou a fatyor is often worse than an enemy." I asked him if that was really his message. He fluffed his feathers, 'sharpened his beak on the fire escape, and nodded his head. "Do not consider it as a personal remark," he said; "consider the squirrel. It has high haelligence—at least some think it has Wih.y does it get credit for this? There is only one answer: Squirrels provide ahead of time for their ,winter food. If the sparrows did the same we would be as wise as they are." I could have made several answers, but I didn't. I didn't want to offend "William." Strange, isn't it, I never think of calling that sparrow "Bill." I love to feed the sparrows and listen to their happy chatter, but should I teed them? Am Fright in oing so? What _would you do about it? Why do I feed them? Is it for my own enjoynient? I shall not always be 'here to feed them, and unless they learn to fend for themselves while I am near to help them they may never .learn. That is the way of nature 'with men and. with birds. Men resemble sparrows—the dif- ference is only in degree. We are all creatures of habit. If I were to feed these sparrows every Sat- urday morning they would learn in time to love me on that day and pass me with cold indifferefice on other days. So my mind is made up. From this time onward 1 will be generous when I think Jhey need it. There is nothing worse than coldness and indifference ,unless perhaps it is the waste which comes from thoughtless generosity. Sparrows are like men. They face Tontlimed from Page 21 R. Snyder, agronomist, said that sheep -•used in the experiments pro- duced alt"hrinual gain of 186 pounds of mutton per acre on moderately grazed pastures but only 49 pounds of gain on the same kind of pas- ture that was severelY ever -grazed.

Do I snake too mucic qiny friends the sparrows? Well, when I want -writing this little story of my feathered friends, I ran across a verse. It comes from one of the ancient Greek writers: legumes as compared with only 2 507 pounds of forage from the severely grazed pastures. . Even more striking was the dif- ference in the amount of forage re- quired to produce a pound of gain weight -in sheep: 19 pounds frcim. the moderately grazed pastures and 51 pounds from. the over -grazed pastures. It, was the same story for soil and water losses. On the severely grazed pastures the average annual soil loss per acre was 833 pounds, but only 259 pounds of soil were lost on the moderately grazed pas- tures. The severely grazed pas- tures lost 6.8 inches of water as run-off while the moderately grazed pastures lost only 3.6 inches. At the beginning of the experi- ments three and a half tons of lime- tolie per acre were applied to all tat fields as well as 1,000 pounds of superphosphate.' About 150 pounds of 20 per cent superphos- phate per acre was applied during alternate years.
