ANOTHER ART PICTURE. 



The reproduction from the life photograph which we have been giv- 

 ing as a premium, has been so favorably commended that we have pre- 

 pared the companion piece- It is called "Preparing Breakfast" and is 

 of the same group of birds. It is fully the equal of the "Chippy Fam- 

 ily," in fact nearly everyone considers it better. Read our advertise- 

 ment on another page in regard to obtaining this picture. 



We have on hand a number of questions which will be answered in 

 our next issue. They were received too late to receive attention in 

 this number. Our forms are made up on the 10th of the month for the 

 month following, and material received on or after that date is too late 

 to appear in that month. 



We wish our subscribers to remember that we appreciate any efiPorts 

 that they may make in our behalf, either in the matter of material or 

 by calling the attention of their friends to our magazine. We have no 

 doubt that every one of our subscribers has several friends who would 

 be glad to subscribe if it could be brought to their notice. Each new 

 subscriber gets a copy of the "Chippy Family," and you get one of 

 "Preparing Breakfast," for each subscriber that you obtain.
