A Mild April Snow Storm—(Continued) 
the bluebirds came to the martin house post, 
then over to a hollyhock stalk, I threw him 
some suet, but he seemed to consider it as 
meant to harm him and he flew away. I next 
put small pieces of suet and wheat on a wood¬ 
en pie plate and set it near the hollyhock, but 
only a song sparrow and one junco ate a lit¬ 
tle out of it. When Y" *:\nd began blowing 
harder it was overtur umcos came 
and after that at no time until night could a 
person look into the garden without seeing 
them, song sparrows were also eating weed 
seeds; for quite awhile tree sparrows were with 
the juncos, only once before have I seen them 
in our yard. A white-throated sparrow re¬ 
mained for a few hours in the garden eating 
seeds of weeds and he is quite an expert at 
getting them. I feel sure that he is one of a 
large Hock that flew south, others halted for 
a few minutes, they were on the fence, elec¬ 
tric wire, and in the next lot. I tried to get 
out in time to see them, but they were on 
their southward journey and I only heard 
them singing as they flew a few lots away. 
The day will be memorable to me as the one 
time in the spring when I saw thousands of 
birds flying south. During the night and un¬ 
til along in the forenoon the wind came from 
the southeast and every few minutes until 
half-past ten, or a quarter of eleven, strag¬ 
gling birds flew southward, I must have -seen 
thousands go south. At one time twenty or 
twenty-five robins went southeast, a few must 
have tarried for a very short space of time 
on one of the apple trees, for six were there 
and one was on a box, and four was all I had 
seen at one time before. During the entire 
day the only birds I noticed journeying over¬ 
head, that were not going south were two 
kingfishers going straight north, a gull fly¬ 
ing a little north of east, and a bird I thought 
was a hawk winging its way to the west.

SOME RESULTS OF SCHOOL BRANCHES. 
A seventh grade teacher writes, “I have a 
very interested bird class, and to my knowl¬ 
edge a number of sling shots have been de¬ 
stroyed by the owners, and a careful watch is 
kept by the members on the boys in the upper 
and lower grades in order that the birds 
around the school building may not be mo¬ 
lested. We are following the suggestions in 
the Arbor Day Annual.” 
Another teacher says: “There is no ques¬ 
tion in my mind that our work has been very 
fruitful. The sling shot boy in the public 
school is almost a thing of the past, and there 
are a great number of birds that frequent our 
vicinity where formally there were scarcely 
any.”
