Why do we cail rabbitsi ducks, and. song birds wild? Realjy they are no more wild thain the domesticated. ani- mals, if we stop frighitening thetn and ]et themn get acqvainted? ýIf we mistreat tamne birds, they soon becomne quite wild. One north shore garden lover tells of a wild mallard duck comîing unto, her garden and making it headquart- ers for somne months. Often we see sniall birds which are entirely strange to us, frequenting'i our homnegrounds. We.have known that much that.,we are of use, as food, cover or shelter, where to plant, what to plant, the seed, plant, tubers or rmots, when toý plant and' other instructions.

The cat-tail is good cover« and the muskrats hike ît. *Coon-tail is a submerged floating plant and both the fish and -water-, fowl feed on it. Duckwveeds grow in, floating masgses and are.eaten. both*by the ducks and fish. Duckwheat needs, a mitdlrained soil and quail, dives and pheasarits like its c( ver., Naias, bushy pondweed, is a good aIl round duck-foôd and fish food and cover, plantéd in the water. Redhead grass, food and cover for both fish and fowl, is a subnierged plant. Sago pond plant is good duck food and both food and cQver for fish. It- grows submerged. Water milfoil is good for, both fisa and fowl and musà have- rkh soil. Many oth.er plants art: liked by the fish, or ducks or both.
