NA TURE-STUD Y RE VIEW 10:6— Sept., 1914 



hemp, millet, oats, rape seed, and broken dog biscuits are used in 

 the feeding stations. "Food sticks" are made by boring holes in 

 small branches and pouring in melted tallow and bird seed. The 

 stick was then nailed to a tree. Artificial brush piles were made 

 for the brown thrashers, at least three of which were occupied. 

 Crotches were pruned for nest sights and several were used. 

 Robin shelves consisted of a log cut three-fourths thru and one end 

 hollowed out for the nest. This left a projecting piece above for 

 shelter and when fastened to a tree looked like a bracket ([).
