THE riiUTEt'TlUN OF BINDS. -t^l 



All these agencies must help to hasten the day vvlien our 

 woods shall teem with game and birds ; when our lakes and 

 riv^ers shall be populous with wild-fowl ; and when our 

 people, young and old, shall welcome, in'otect, and cherish 

 our feathered friends of orchard, o-arden, and field. If this 

 volume shall help in any degree to bring about this eon- 

 sunmiation, it will not have been written in vain.
