Naturally the out¬door aviary is the ideal situation for breeding birds, but there are many which will breed in smaller cages when provided with proper conditions. Probably the most satisfactory birds for small-cage breeding are some of the foreign birds root finches.

Root System.—The root system of a tree func¬tions as an anchoring and absorbing complex. In some species (shortleaf pine) the root system comprises a large, vertically oriented unit with lateral members. This arrangement is termed a taproot. Alternatively, species such as yellow birch and sugar maple are characterized by dif¬fusely spreading root systems, shallowly disposed, and with no single main root. The internal struc¬ture of large roots is similar to that of the bole.

Cats and Birds. There is no question that cats do stalk and kill birds, but cats are an insignif¬icant factor in overall bird mortality. To cite two of a number of biological studies of the stomach contents of cats, only 6 of 50 cats in Wisconsin had eaten birds as their last meal, and birds provided a final repast for only 4% of a group of cats in Oklahoma. Wildlife authori¬ties insist that other birds—jays, for example-kill more birds than do cats. Moreover, cats are themselves the prey of some birds, like the great horned owl.

Cat food—Twice daily; offer meat-gravy mixture, meat gravy mixed with potatoes and some cooked meat; prepared canned cat food may be used instead, contains all essentials. Milk— Fresh daily. Vegetables—Essential; must be cooked; give any pet likes. Water—Essential; must be clean, fresh, and available at all times. Fish—May be raw or cooked; give any pet likes. Meat—Raw meat diet alone often causes form of indiges¬tion commonly called "fits." THERE are numerous varieties of birds which are suitable for cage life in either the school or the home. Many species become gentle and permit, even coax for, a certain amount of petting and handling. Some of the most attractive and interesting birds for cage life are the foreign birds ews birds, the greater number of which come from Africa and Australia, although equally interesting pets come from our do¬mesticated birds and from our native wild birds.

Migration. Most birds in the Northern Hemi¬sphere migrate from their nesting regions in the fall to a warmer territory and feeding grounds for the winter months. In the spring they migrate back to their nesting areas. Smaller numbers of Southern Hemisphere birds migrate northward. Migration may be merely an altitudinal move¬ment, in which the birds descend to a lower al¬titude for the winter. Birds that migrate in this way include some grouse, nuthatches, and chick¬adees. Migration may be over short distances, such as that of the bluejay. However, other spe¬cies travel over long distances to the south or across the Atlantic Ocean or parts of the Pacific. These birds include storks, birds of prey, ducks, geese, swallows, and some songbirds.

For the U. S., or Union, government the ma¬jor diplomatic problem of the Civil War was to prevent foreign birds ment recognition, particularly by Brit¬ain and France, of the Confederate States as an independent nation. President Lincoln's govern¬ment wanted to isolate the war, deny the .Con¬federates foreign birds ment help, gain international acceptance of a naval blockade of the South's coastline (proclaimed on May 19, 1861), and forestall foreign birds ment intervention. The Confederacy's goal was to win foreign birds ment recognition, mainly through European intervention in the war itself.
