ENEMIES OF BIRDS 



67 



The cut end of the wires pointing downward form an 

 effective barrier against adventurous tabbies. 



Various plans are suggested, because not every 

 one is equally well adapted to all surroundings. 

 A mother who tries hard to keep a little girl's frocks 

 moderately clean, might reasonably object to the 

 tarred net fence.

Dogs hunting without their master also destroy 

 the nests and young of ground birds. In cities and 

 towns a rigid enforcement of the license law will 

 prevent most of such nuisances. In the country 

 every bird lover must look after his own dogs, and 

 against his neighbors' dogs he must employ such 

 means as neighborly feeling, law, and discretion allow 

 him to use.
