Throughout the summer the Birds are keeping 

 down blight, gobbling up grubs, boring for 

 wireworms, destroying countless weed-seeds- 

 When the ground is frozen so that their beaks 

 cannot pierce it, or snow covered so that they 

 cannot find the seeds, shall we let them starve 

 under our very windows ? 



Save at least all food that would otherwise be 

 wasted. Bread and bird-seeds are always good ; 

 but kitchen scraps — bacon, bits of fat and suet, 

 cheese, remains of porridge, baked potato skins, 

 etc. — are all acceptable. Barley-meal made 

 into a pudding with hot water is good on a 

 cold day, so is hemp-seed. 



Do not place food on the ground. Have a tray 

 that can be cleaned and replenished ; a stand 

 for the garden ; a " lunch counter " for the 

 window ; a " Hanger-on"* for small scraps ; an 

 " Aye, Ready " hopper* for seed. Take a 

 collection for the birds after each meal. 



Different birds need different food. All re- 

 quire water.
