Save The Bird.

R. M. Kellogg, a prominent horticulturist of Three Rivers, Mich., writes the way to save the shade trees is to take the guns away from the boys and shoot cats; that unless the birds are left unmolested the destruction of shade trees by borers and other insects is only a question of time. Nearly every dead limb one sees is caused by a borer, the egg of which is laid by a miller on which the bird feeds. Mr. Kellogg feeds the birds in winter and does much to show his appreciation for what they do for him in summer months.
