THE PROTECTION OF BIRDS. 421 



All these agencies must help to hasten the day when our 

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

 rivers shall be po})ulous with wild-fowl ; and when our 

 people, young and old, shall welcome, protect, and cherish 

 our feathered friends of orchard, garden, and field. If this 

 volume shall help in anv degree to bring al)out this con- 

 summation, it will not have been written in vain.
