Text Appearing Before Image:
Display-room of nesting-box factory enlisting the aid of all. good citizens in putting legal bar- riers against such useless destruction of bird life as the killing of song-birds for food, or the slaughtering of the egret to plume milady's hat, but we have yet to learn that we must restore to the birds by artificial means what our modern systems of cultivation are taking away. In Germany a five-hundred-acre experiment station for the study and preservation of bird life has been estab- lished to show the people how to restore to the feath- ered citizens of the forests the comforts and conve- niences of which modern civilization is gradually robbing them. The federal states of Germany are not only protecting 152 species of birds by law, but are growing nesting-hedges for them; cultivating, pruning, and grafting nesting- bushes ; hollowing out natural nesting - holes; building nesting - boxes in the trees ; fashioning natural and convenient winter feeding-houses; and protecting the birds from their carnivorous enemies. Baron von Berlepsch, who has turned his great ancestral estate at Seebach into an experiment station for bird culture, is the father of the modern science of bird protection, and we may learn much from a study of the methods employed for encouraging bird life at Seebach.
