Everyone Should Help To Protect the City Squirrels.

There are a great many squirrels in Rensselaer and they are nice pets and shold have the protection of all friends to dumb animals. Occasionally reports come of men or boys shooting or throwing stones at them. Such persons should be prosecuted. Some winters the squirrels have a tolerably hard time getting along. If people who want them for lawn pets will scatter nuts on the ground, or place walnuts in a barrel they will have daily visits from the squirrels which will become quite tame. In gathering nuts this fall, remember the squirrels and bring in some extras for them.
