Protect the Birds.
IGrss, Valley Tidinss.

Entomology, or bugology, is now taught to some extent ID our public schools. The children ought 10 learn about the tugs that are destructive to useful vegetation. h is better to learn much abo1t bugs than so much about bow to solve those srith metIcsl problems that will never fsce any body Tn the prac- ticsl affairs of life.
 The children who learn about bugs should also pay some attention to birds. The boys should be tsught not to kill tbose birds that feed on insects. The llrls ought to learn not to require 6 dead bird, or any part of such bIrd in their hats. The refined lsdies of the oenters of culture no longer wear bird orns- ments; the best feminine taste never did tolerate them. We do mol, of course re- fer to feathers, such as those of the ostrich or any obtained without the death or mutilstion of the bird. This biri-on- hat business requires the slsugh- ter of the singing bird ss we'll as the birds that destroy noxious insects.
 And now the time for the insect estinR birds to arrive here and set up thelr summer nests have almost come. These birds come because they find food lin NlAu NuACt lD LhAot hlNlA These families are blest with constant hunger. the blessing being ID fact the de- struction of insects. The swallow tribe will soon be here. These are the purple martins that will build in boxes If you will fix them mp for the birds, and the little fellows that build their nests of mud. Both kinds are hunters and eat CTS of insects. These birds take in all the insects that fly. The codlin moth flies around just before laying the egg on the apples, the egg matching into the worm that tunnels into and destroys the frult. While the codlin moths are 'hus busy on the wing. the swallow birds catch the moths. If there were more of these biris, there would be more of the uotbs caught. There will be more of the birJs when people go to protecting them, or rather. when the birds are given every encouragement.
 If OUT schools could effectuRlly teach the boys out of the ssvsgery inherent ID the human animal, which ssvsgery i'm pels boy to destroy bird merely for the sake Of killing something, then our schools will do stIll one other useisl work besides that which the schools usually do.
 Then there is another class of birds ina, eats worms that are boring in trees. These birds are the woOd-pe,kers. Many Kill these birds because it is supposed that the picking is done merely to inJure the trees; that the bird is dOIng the hard labor just for fun. Not so; the wood peoker Is after a worm. and to catch the worm tbst is borIng m the tree. the wood becker is not only an early bird. but he ia s late bird also. IL is natural enough, perhaps, for s man who sees bird ham, mering on fruit tree, to think, or II he is DO, pious, to say: "d-n that bird, he is killing the tree.
 A little knowledge which our schools should give cn the bird and bug subject, vouId show the msn that the bird IS after the pug that IS killing the tree.
