A NATURE NOTE.
I An interesting note from a correspondent's letter in the current issue of the Farmers' Union Advocate: "A bird fancier and observer, to whom 1 always appty if 1 want to know the habits of any of the imported birds, tells me he has had a pair of hedge sparrows in his garden lately. They are pretty birds, with a blue breast and longish tail and quite ornamental in spring, so different from the little •gamin, , the chattering sparrows of the street. J. liave seen but one hedge sparrow in Now Zealand; it was just outside the Botanical Gardens in Wellington, many years ago, and now wo have them up the coast, and they will soon spread."
