Birds. Canker Worms.--I see it stated
In your paper Of Friday, that the probable
reason why thecsnker worm commits small
ravages in Floh, is found in the care with
which the birds are protected. was re-
minded Of a remark in Peabody's Life of
Wilson: -
''He enters into deliberate calculation
Of the exact value Of the services Of the red.
winged blackbird, which certainly bears ~
good reputation on the farm, showing
allowing single bird iifly insects .
which would be short allowance, =
gle pair would consume 10000 iA To-
months, and if there are million of pairs
of these birds in tho United States, the a.
mount Of insects is less by twelve thousand
milliors, than if the red-wing were extermi-
mated" Let any person during the brood
ing season OF robins OF stker birds, rise BY
break of day and count the number Of times
old ones return in one hour with worms and
insects, or, If he can, let him count through
the lay, and the number will be found to be
almost incredible. The practice of killing
birds for mere amusement is not merely in
dicative Of cruelty and want of feeling, but i'd
exceedingly detrimental to the interests Of
the community. s
And, now that am upon the subject Of
insects and worms, let me add that there 10 =
very unreasonable prejudice against todd'.
They are exceedingly valuable in sardens
and other places, in consequences Of the ex-
terminating warlars they are constantly wag
ing against bugs and worms. Any person
who has them in his garden has treasure
there and if no will watch them closely, he
will find them accomplishing more in The
way of preserving his squash and en-:
cumber vines and other vegetables than no
