One night the door of the stall was left open and in the morning there was not a cat to be seen except on Barn Pussy who sat there contentedly "The twins shouted with delight and laughed until Grandad thought they wgrg going crgzy. __ So after tea the twins went across the fields’to Mrs. Brown’s.

So at the Women’s Institute meet- ing that afternoon Aunt Madge laughingly told about Jeannie’s de- sire for a cat.

And as she opened the basket two little grey furry balls tumbled out and stood blinking at the sudden light. Aunt Madge knew that Jeannie wag just having a little homesick cry for her mother but she just said sooth- ingly. _ “No, not sick,” she said. “But Mary Kent has the dearest little cud- dly grey kitten with a blue ribbon on its neck and I wish I had one.” The little girl Vraised a tear stained face from the pillow.

( which wouldn’t be a bad thing for all of us to remember). The birds were her joy throughout her years of illness and she whimsically describes their actions, finding that her own friends and relations all have their counterpart in the birds which come to her window. The tangled love story of her two adopted children works out to a satisfactory ending. This is a book which will delight any Nature lover and would bring special joy to a “Shut-in.” IN THE GARDEN OF DELIGHT By L. H. Hammond This is a charming story written by an invalid who suffered greatly but managed to keep a sunny out- look on life. Her motto was that it doesn't matter if you are a coward as long as you don’t let anyone know THE BURGESS ANIMAL BOOK Any child who loves the Burgess bed-time stories would be delighted with this book. It is really Natural History told in a most interesting and impressive manner. The famous Peter Rabbit goes to school with Mother Nature as teacher and each lesson is the life story of one of the wild animals of North America. Ask for this book at your Public- Library or suggest to some kind relative that it would make a very suitable birth- day present. A small pinch of soda added to lhe salad dressing will keep it from curd- ling. “At your next Institute meeting, Madge,” he said, “I Wish you would announce that We need 41 new cow. And see if the neighbors will give us a cattle shower instead of a cat show- er.” Grandad laughed about the cat story for weeks afterwards. - The twins ran to look and there curled up in the hay under the stairs was old Barn Pussy with six tiny wee kittens! washing her face. That evening after school Uncle John called the children to the barn. “Come and I’ll show you why barn Pussy chased all the other pussies home,” he said.

Just as this time of the year when, there is a promise of Spring in the air, tragedy in the form of an ice storm, puts an end to many a promising bird career. If the ground and trees are covered with a hard coating of ice for two or three days it is impossible for the little beaks to peck through it to get food and many birds starve to death. This is the time the feeding tables get in their good work and many a bird is s;‘ved to delight uylwith its summer songs and to help our farms and gardens by its destruction of insect pests. For scientists say that if bird life Were to come to an end all over the world that in three years all life would come to an end. Destruc- tive insects'woud increase at such a rate that man could not control (them and in three years there would not be any vegetation left on the earth. Then for the display of the finished houses either Show them at a club meeting or borrow an empty window from any more in town and leave them there on display for some days. This may be a money making scheme by selling the little houses on a small commission. It would be a good plan to have special class for grown people and let Dad show us what he can do in. the line of the more difficult houses that martins prefer. So with this in mind it will pay us to be kind to the birds and give them a clance to increase and look after the insect population for us. A good thing for a Women’s Institute, Community Club or Horti- cultural society to do at this time of year is to organize a bird house competition for the children of the neighborhood. X‘hese bird houses should be made from plans decided on by the club and not left to the competitor’s own judgment. At a school fair I once saw the prize awarded to a so-ealled bird house which was built like a doll’s house with chimneys, verandah and even a little garden around it. It was about two feet square, beautifully made, but of course no self-respect- ing bird would ever consider it as a dwelling place. Different kinds of birds like different sized houses and are particularly fussy about the size of the front door. So let the club find the correct measure- ments from the district representative or from the Department of Ag- riculture and have a list printed with the entry blanks at the local printing office. It really is so easy to encourage the birds around one’s’ homeâ€"a feeding table in winter, a bird bath in summer and a few bird houses around the 'grounds and We will be repaid for our trouble many times over. Place these things well out of reach of catsâ€"it would be poor \policy to invite a visitor to a meal and then let the visitor be eaten We have fOund the windmill an excellent place for a feeding board for crumbs and grain and a lump of suet tied on one of the supports has provided many a chick-a-dee and woodpecker with a warming meal. If this is near the house, so much the better. The little visit- ors which enjoy this hospitality are very interesting to watch. years ago. Then people had not grasped the idea that birds ere a tremendous help in the business of agriculture, which is the back- bone of our country, and they were not offered the protection that they are to-day.
