An hour or two oi this brought the party “spelling place."

(Continued)

One evening last H11 lour miles irom my home when the Marsh hawks were migrating there were ioureien in sight, at once, yet men are telling me now “They are on the decrease," they must have poor eye-sight Or the sun dazzles their

leyes. Talk about hawks being scarce, _

:1 shot seventeen hawks in less fthan three hours. Do not iorget lreaders, these various hawks iollow ‘our valuable birds to the South and back again.

Several oi’ my most particular fr ends who do not see eye to eye with me on the hawk question, but who are among my best irlends just the same, are coming irom as Iar

'11s three hundred miles to tag young Mourning Doves around my little thirty-acre plantation, where the

‘country is well wooded. a North

American winter scene has a look of desolation to one accustomed to milder cllmcs: but the vast unin- habited prairie in winter must be ‘ terrible. One unbroken field o1’ ‘snow, relieved by ho color, no signs of liie, no shelter from the drifts and biting frost-who would make his home in such o. land?" Tbs writer afterwards spent the winter in Montreal and Toronto, and his impressions oi’ Canadian winter life w.ll iorm the last of the "Wide West" series.

ARE GLADIOLI "BULBS"? 0n reviewing last week's notes I see that I iell into the common error oi culling glsdioii "bulbs." That is distinctly wrong, A bulb 1,5 really a bud, and some, like the 1i-

doves nest by the hundreds. And thisssmeclassoimenwllltlkt me m their w" w“ "W" homes and wonder why the Mourn- ing doves, Cardinals and Rollins m not as plentiiul in their parks. and. in tho same breath call my attention to a mother 01W 011 he!‘ nest, and possibly to what they lcall a besutliul hawk sitting on a. dead limb across the gol! course.

Mourning doves and Robins 1n- stesd o1 coming here, whore we control the hawks and other nat- ural enemies? And, by the way, right here let mo say to the men o! the world, because we do not see eye to eye along the line ot anystudy, do not let that make us enemies, because there is noth- ing that will help s. iriend more than real friendly constructive crit- icism. An Indian once said, “Every- body think like me, everybody want my squaw.” Bo many people write in and say they like actions o! hawks. All I can say is, how can a. man be humane and watch a. hawk come down out oi the alr and-catch and eat a song, insectivorous, weed seed eating bird, eat it practically alive? To me, it is more cruel than [a Spanish bull light I read about, |whlch means either liie or death to the bull or the fighter, because the innocent bird has no fighting chance.

TIME T0 TRANSPLANT

Late August or early September is a good time to transplant those helbaceous perennials which have dsne blooming. Dlsnthus. ("clove pinks"). Day-lilies or Hemerocol- lis, Arabis, Campanulas, Cowslips, and many other plants, may be lifted, divided, and replantcd where they are to bloom next,‘ spring.

For all its soitness it stands out well against our first ircsts. The Tree-nlallow is a native cl south-western Europe, and is ten ieet high when fully grown. I may say that the seed oi the vs- rlegarted iorm was procured from; England, as I have not seen it in Canadian lists. It will ultimately winter-kill.

The plant thought to be the wild hyacinth was perhaps the grape-hyacinth, but I should like s. before dogmatfzlng The Periwinkle will not bloom the ill-st year, since it was only a cut- ting: we may expect e. bloom or two next year, Just to show what they are like, then every year it shcuid get better in every way, as Dr. Coue used ta say.
