On the subject of protection and attraction of birds about the home, 
among the great mass of literature available, the following can be specially 
recommended: 
How to Attract and Protect Wild Birds, by Martin Hiesmann. Witherby & Co., London, 
Is. 6d. 
This is an extended account of the methods pursued by Baron von Berlepsch in 
Germany, and gives numerous methods by which the end can be obtained on both 
large and small estates. 
Wild Bird Guests, by Harold Baynes. E. P. Dutton & Co., New York, 1915, $2. 
This gives a most interesting and readable account of the method pursued by the 
writer and his friends whereby they made Meriden, New Hampshire, a veritable 
model bird village, where the birds became as familiar and friendly as household pets, 
coming when called and alighting freely upon the person. It is beautifully illustrated 
with numerous photographs showing both methods and results. 
The Domestic Cat, by Edward II. Forbush. State Ornithologist, Mass. State Board of 
Agriculture, Bulletin No. 2 (1916). 
This is an exhaustive treatment of the house cat in its relation to wild-bird life.

Agriculture, Farmer’s Bulletin No. 609. Address, Department of Public Documents,

Museum of Canada, Ottawa, and the Canadian National Parks Branch, 
Department of the Interior, Ottawa, issue numerous such brochures 
which can be obtained on application. The United States Department of 
Agriculture has published a great number of scientific, economic, and popu- 
lar reports which can be obtained at a nominal price. Many of them apply 
directly to Canadian conditions. A catalogue and price list of them can 
be obtained from the Department of Public Documents, Washington, D.C.
