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 populous 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 any degree to bring about this con- 
summation, it will not have been written in vain.
