ering around electric lights until tlie [)oles, ropes and 

 trolley wires will be white with them. In the morning 

 you will see the much hated EngUsh sparrow devouring 

 them by hundreds and thousands and by noon will have 

 them all cleared away and the ground around the poles 

 will look as though there had been a snow storm from the 

 multitude of white wings covering tlie ground. Then 

 comes up the pointed question, What are you 'joing to do 

 about it ? 



In answer we would say build homes to protect your 

 birds and feed them in the winter. 



At this time of the year let the moth alone until you 

 have a good, hot fire in the furnace. When the leaves 

 have fallen from the trees you will observe, at the tips of 

 the tall branches, a few leaves that appear to be tied on 

 and coiled around the branch. These are the nests of the 

 spring crop of caterpillars in large numbers but less than 

 one-half inch long. Now take your long pole cutter and 

 trim off every one of these leaf holding branches and feed 

 your furnace with the same, being careful to pick up 

 every branch cut off.
