Upon the above the Rochester Chronicle
remarlIS-
9rFDoubtless, the worms are az nuisance,
but according to the Testimony Of people
who are familiar WithIthe habits Of. the
English sparrow it is a question whether
the latter are9nota the greater pests. They
multiply rapidly, antpwilI be spread over
the whole country. Then look out for
the fruit crop A correspondent of the
philadelphia Ba5585b says gsfhe English

Especially cherries and straw berries, when
they are ripe, and they even deFour the
buds. of pear, apple, peach aad cherry
treesg while .inatheitendar state, just Jbe-
fore blossqlhihg53 end tAQs destroy the
fruit crap totaa very dangerous extent. + In
the eGarlFspring insects being scarce, the
sparroYs are compelled to feed upon ten
der fruItsand flower buds, and they have
been known TO strip whole orchards ana
egaraens7nQt only OF their fruit buds, but
even of the leaf buds In England,
where these sparrows are very numerous,
it is almost impossible to secure a crop of
stray berries, or cherries, without covering
the fruit entirely aaoXerg with netting, SO
destructive are these birds and it is even
thought,thabEp9afs aKAapples can nbfiong-
aer be grown ont 5 doors, il England
without protecting the budsof these trees
in spring againstthe ravages of spaTroWs'
This is bad recommendation, and it is
-eorreberated by parties OF whom we have
made Inquiries Moreover, while the spar
=, rows may destroy the particular kinds of
worms which prey upon Shade trees, it is
probable that theywiIl also destroy many
other worms and ihseets which are friend
ly to US, and which are parasites OF other
insects worse than these tree worms That
is, we get.rid of one set Of worms and be-
come afflicted with another set equally as
bad or even worse"
