Stidolph, 28 Makora Road, Masterton, Wild Mag:pies at ' Belltrees.'—Every winter wild Magpies, the black-hacked smaller s])ecies {Gyninorh'ma t'lbicen) are regu- larly fed at 'Relltrees.' The accompanying 'snap' was taken within ten yards of Mr. White's office, where a staging is pro- vided for a'breakfast of choi)ped meat. The Magpies soon be- come trustful and tame, and make merry music at early morn and again at eve. \\'hen spring arrives the birds distribute them- selves over the broad acres of 'P)elltrees' to breed, when they and their young devour hoards of noxious insects.
