Killing on the Birds Always Results in
Preserving the Pests.

KILLING on the Birds Always ResnIts in
Preserving the Pests,
There is a senseless destruction Of
many Of our commo3 birds IN yari-
Gus parts Of the country, and the
farmers either help in the work or
lead their moral assistance by not
openly denouncing the outrage.
Very few birds have been found to do
positive Injury Of any Importance TO
the crops, and these few can be kept
under control without Offering boun-
lies and employing men and boys TO
tramp over the fields TO hunt them
up In the South the rice birds may
be Of great harm to planters and in
The North the English sparrows may
Hook little too numerOusly in some
orchards A few chicken hawks may
steal some choice poultry or stray
owl may crush the heads OF some
young squads But otherwise the
amount Of damage done by birds is
20 small in comparison with tho
good they do In keeping down in.
