THE SPARROW PEST.

Mr.. J. H. Sherman, IN a recent
letter to the New York tribune,
presents strong indictment against
the English sparrow, the reasons why
these birds should be exterminated,
and how to do it. He says:
Since importation, they have null
tinlied at the annual rate of five or
six broods of from four to six each to
the pair, and spread over more than
half of the United States and Terri
tories, with a large portion of Canada
and are covering the remainder at
the present (but increasingly rate of
more than 10000 square miles a
year, and are everywhere driving out
both insectivorous and song birds.
In the spring, sparrows bite off or
pull up tender garden plants as soon
as they come up, and eat out germs
from fruit buds of trees, vines, and
small fruit plants. Such germs as are
not completely destroyed are often
mutilated and so form imperfect fruit,
which falls ready prey to the in
creased swarms of insects. Later in
the season they attack the choicest
growing vegetables and early ripen-
ing fruits, and destroy grapes and
peck into mellowing apples and pears
in the fall.
Their depredations upon farm
crops are becoming more serious, in
the entailment of pecuniary loss,
than those upon horticultural pro-
ducts. For breeding haunts, and
