Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 February 1909 — feed the Birds. [ARTICLE]

feed the Birds.

Birds will soon starve and die this kind of weather. Let us protect them. Clear a place in the yard and throw a few crumbs and bits of meat out to them. Go into the house and watch the little feathered fellows feast. You can prove your kindness of heart by preserving these creatures of misfortune from Starvation. In the country* the farmers should throw out a little wheat or cracked corn for the quail. Many will die if they are not fed. Do it now.
