Public Urged to Remember Birds While Frost Lasts. Warning Given Asralnat Spreading; Food Where Cata May Collect. WINTER snows are again upon the little feathered creatures of the city. Yesterday children of the city in suburban districts fed the birds, and branches of the Humane Society pro vided food for the hungry and cold birds that flocked about on the enow. Snow has covered many of the usual sources of bird food and from now on until Spring it will be the duty of the public to flee that the birds do not starve. Hundreds of them were saved last year by people who were inter ested enough to provide for them systematically. Letters have been sent to officials of parks in the northern states of America by the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture urg ing them to co-operate in the feeding of birds and pointing out to farmers the value of birds to the community. Local bird fanciers have suggested that it will be well when feeding birds to see that the food is put in some shel tered place where the snow will not cover It in a short time, and to see that it is not put where it will have a ten dency to collect cats to eat the birds. Cornmeal and other meals, suet and bread crumbs are good for the birds and will give animal heat that will prevent them freezing to death.
