At o meeting of horticulturists iu
Illinois strong ground Was taken
against the destruction Of these BIRDS.
To show how useful this bird is it
was stated that flock Of parttiJgcs
were seen running along the rows Of
corn just sproutiug, and seeing them
engaged in soh'cthiug which WAS be.
lieved to be pulling up the young
plants, one of thom was killed and his
"crop" examined, which was fuhnd to
contain Que cutworm, twenty -one strip
cd bugs. and over ohe hundred chinch
bugs. Another member related that
he had adopted measures to protect
the bird, and they had become SO nn-
merous and SO tame that huudrcds of
them, after snowfalls, could be seen
in his barry ard with the fowls, where
they were fed. As result Of thzir
presence upon his premises, his wheat
crops were unusually abundant, while
in many otEer p aces not far off the
