A COLD HARD WINTER’! . Tbs weather msrps arc Iottinl

busy again, and they surely do not prophesy unto us. smooth things. The squirrels are said to have “magnificent bushy tails," snd this a supposed w wi-ut to “zero weather and lots of it.” The dogs have changed over to new winter fur in a hurry th's year. and that's bad. A young farmer tells me that the squirrels have already laid up their winter sup- ply o; cones, ctc.,-a month earlier as compared with last year. But ‘the most singular omen for a hard whiter h the abundance of mush- rooms this fall: 1 had never before heard ‘time, g‘-'."'n as s poltent. The falls of the years 1018 and

1027 were notable for the quantity-

of mushroom and tosxbtools which grew in the ﬁelds and woods. (Both were maximum simspot years. and both‘ were remarkable for virulent ‘epidemics of inﬂuenza). But the winter of 1018 was not particularly hard; not. on the Island zlnyway. January 1919 mu ﬁne, mild and sunny: there were oniv tlree days which ran to zero or lower, Fcb- ruary had rlany lovely days, nrid 0n the lilih M ‘.l'('ll the ﬂuids wore rapidly hecorrzing bare: ll. footnote in my weather record any; "Little snow this winter."

Over in Britain there was much rain: the Thames overflowed its embank- ment; and drowned people in London H5011. As for as my local records" go, any connection between the musurooln crop and the winter ls simply ‘not proven!" MORE ABOUT THE STARLING On looking over an old scrap- book I came acros a. good descrip- tion of the starllng given by tlre well - known naturalist Ernest Irlgersoll, in the Family I-Iemld years ago. "It is usually dark in color and during the breeding ses- son its bill is bright yellow, so float those who sce it for the ﬁrst . tgno usually describe it as a black- bird with a yellow bill. A more de- tailed description is as follows: length 81-2 inches; adult male black with purple and green re- ﬂections, the feathers more or less tipped with pale buff (but those pips 50011 wear off); under toil covcrts edged with white; bezik long straight and conspicuously yellow; feet flesh-colored. The female is spotted, all oven-spangled, as it were. The young are uniformly idly-brown, faintly streaked with I darker tint." I have sometilres had requests for just such a de- scription, so this is transcribed in the hope that students of bird-life M11 preserve it for reference. There is can interesting contro- versy ancnt the misdeeds of the

tam: paper, and as is usual, the culprit has some defenders. As it. in not likely that this subject will appear again in these notes, at. any rate for some time, iln account of the controversy may be permitted. The defenders point out that the star-ling, especially during the breeding season, is essentially a ground-feeder, and destroys snails, barthworms, grubs and many of the insects which infest grass lands, Ind the droppings of cattle. One writes does not believe that the birds are entirely to blame for the death of Jack Miner's pine-trees. Mid promises to write again stat- ing the reason for his unbellef.

On the other side, there have been accounts of great damage dbne to all kinds of fruit, including ripe tomatoes. The birds are troublesome in the Sub-Arctic boo: It Resolution on the border of Great Slave Lake. the starlings datroyed most of the cereal crops this year, Just ns in Britain. the Ital-ling was at first a summer dsltor. and occasionally hardy birds stayed for the wlnicr.
