The Mankato Reuieo has some proper and
sensible remarks in opposition to the unwise
and insane destruction of birds, as follows:
'The supervisors of st. James have done a
foolish thing in passing resolution to furnish
to every farmer in the town, two bottles OF
strychnine, provided that they will use it in
poisoning black birds, which promise to be
very plenty this year. The black birds rem
dered valuable service in Kidding that country
of grasshoppers, few years ago, and they de
stroy other insects that prey upon the crops.
Instead of poisoning them, as the above propo-
sition contemplates, other means might be in
dulged to protect the corn from the birds.
Soaking in strong tar water is good protec-
tion, and then seed corn is chsap-put few
extra kernels in each hill for the birds-but
don't poison them. We may need their help
again."
