UNCLE SAM TELLS
HOW 10 ATTRACT
TONORTHWEST
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. Lovers
of birds In tlio northwestern portion
of the 1'nited Stales who wish to at
tract the feathered wild creatures to
live and nest about their homes may
receive valuable suggestions as lo
methods of protection, feeding, and
tlio provision of nesting places from
Farmers" Bulletin 700. recently pub
lished by the I'. S. llepartiuent of Ag
rlculliire. Tlio publication relates lo
Washington, Oregon, Idaho. North
ern California, nud the western half
of .Montana, and Is the second of a
series of bulletins suggesting methods
of iiltrncting birds in various sections
of the country.
One of lite 1'ii'st steps a householder
must take 11 he wishes lo attract
feathered wild life about ills place It
to provide protection from natural
foes, especially cats. If a complete
bird sanctuary Is to be created, the
area set apart for tills purpose should
be Inclosed by a vermlu-proof fence
which cin neither be dug under nor
climbed. The principal feature of
inch a barrlPr Is n top curved outward
or bent outward at right angles. If
the construction of such n fence is im
practicable, n more limited protection
may be supplied by placing guards on
trees to prevont cats and other anl-
janls from climbing them. Sheet met
al cuffs, completely encircling the
tine, or cones of like material, fitting
lightly at the upper edge and flaring
downward, will servo the purpose.
Another essentlul Is to furnish
breeding places. Close-growing
shrubs make excellent sites for wests.
They should be trimmed back severe
ly when young to produce numerous
crotches, llird houses also should be
placed about tho homo for tho species
which will use such nesting places,
but care should he taken that too
ninny such houses are not furnished.
Ab a rule, birds do not Ilka being
crowded. It breeding placca nro to
bo provided for ground-nesting birds,
such as bob-o-llnkc, meadow larks,
and bobwhltes, grass should be al
lowed to grow thickly nud long in ap
propriate locations.
Copies of the bulletin may be had
freu on application to the II. S. De
partment of Agriculture- as long' us
the department's supply lasts.

aro entirely adequate to protect the
public against exhorbltant rates, but
are not adequate to Insure to the
public sufficient facilities for its pres
ent and future requirements.
"i-ess than 1,000 miles of new rails
has been constructed in the United
States during the past year," he said.
"Less than in any year since 1MK
except the period pf the civil war and
yet the cost of living is daily advanc
ing, owing to a shortage of supplies,
which might be remedied by Becurlnj;
access to new areas of production.'
As illustratiing the inequality of
transportation facilities at a time
when new road building has nearly
stopped, .Mr. Thorn showed that while
New Jersey has 31 miles of railroad
per 100 square miles of territory, the
average for the Frilled States is only
IS. ."ill miles and in Idaho where there
are only ;i.:l. iniirs per loo square
miles, less than Zli per cent of the
natural resources have railroad facili
ties. To St mi Construction.
''Will the undeveloped states be
ratislied to stop railroad construc
tion under such a conditior of In
equality".'" .Mr. Tiioui asUcd. "It is
impossible for railroads to earn
enough to supply the necessary new
facilities from current revenue. They
miibt be provide! with credit. In-vcj-tciiL
cannot be coerced, hut must
be nitracted."
Cue committee, appointed by Presi
dent Wilson to Investigate the actions
of Uie act held Its first meeting here
today a ml conferred with more than
i dozen railroad executives for the
announced purpose of discussing In
formally the methods to be used in
Mie meeting. The executives will hold
a conference with the heads of the
brotherhoods at a later date.
