USEFULNESS or THE ROBIN.

Plying the ignorance of farmers,
and country people generally, touching
the habits and usefulness Of the robin,
and pitying equally the poor bird itself
for the abuse which this ignorance
brings upon it, Caroline Bryce, in the
April Naturalist, has rendered service
to both by pointing out in very in
tcresting way the value Of the bird to
the country, and the mistake that ia
madclin attempting TO drive il from
our fields and groves. 'eThc robin has
two broods in season, each brood
varying in number from two to five.
The young are fed exclusively on in
scots, and their rapid growth and con-
scquent voracity, bnly equalcd by the
larvae stage of insecklite. makes an
abundant supply of inscct-food an in
dispcnsablc requirement, The food of
the mothcr-bird Is alo chiefly insects,
and this double demand makes the
robin valuable assistant to the farmer
and horticulturist in keeping under in
sect pests. Regarding its supposed
habit of cherry eating, the author Is Of
opinion that il is attracted chiefly by
the color of the fruit, and not by any
special liking for IL as food that IL
picks the cherries for the same reason
that II picks to pieces q arcd flower.
Instead of being an enemy TO the
cherry crop, il is really most import
