. Bird-lore . tions 373 work and tramp out-doors. Of the disadvan-tages, the only one worthconsidering is that dueto animal depredations. The method of at-taching the suet, how-ever, solves any difficultythat may arise from thatsource. Most often thechunk is tied on. Thisworks fairly well if agreat deal of string isused, and if the string issoft or supple, and yetstrong and heavy — acombination difiicult tofind. Sooner or later, though, a red squirrelwill become a httle wiser, bite off the string, andcarry off the wholechunk. It may be allright to feed a squirrelwhen food is scarce, butnot in such a wholesaleway. A newer scheme isto tack up small-meshedwire netting in the shapeof a pocket and cram itfull of suet. It is fromthis device that all thefancy suet holders, suetbaskets, and the like, have been derived. Thereis, however, a great ob-jection to this method, it is unattractive to bothman and bird. Photog-raphing birds at such anartificial and blatantobject makes an unattrac-tive picture at best.. j^vMt^^l. CHICK.^DEE 374 Bird-Lore Recently a very pleasing and efficient device has been used at some fewplaces. With an inch-and-a-half collapsible auger, a hole is bored for acouple of inches into a dead tree or stump, and into this the suet is jammedflush with the bark. In this way, if there are no projections, no Crow canget a crop full, and no squirrel can run off with the whole piece, every onegets a bit and no one gets none. There is also an economy not found with theother methods. Far better for the photographer—as can be seen from thepictures—the bird is in his natural pose, feels much more at home, and isconfined to a smaller area (thus insuring his being in focus), besides, thepicture does not suffer from an artistic point of view. This device can easily be adapted to any environment or limitation. Forinstance, a suet-hole may be bored into a stub of an orchard tree. If one isdesired near the house, the hole can be bored in a section of dead wood orlimb,
