TOO MANY SPARROWS.
The English Bird Is Not Even Favorite In
His Own Home.

His own Home.
It appears that the detested English
sparrow is by no means a general favor
lite in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been more care
fully noted.
In the course of his paper on "Wild
Birds, Useful and Injurious" in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. G. T. Archibald says: THE sparrow
has received an overlooking measure of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
notwithstanding all that has been urged
In its favor by enthusiastic advocates,
there can be little doubt that it deserves
a large share of the vituperation be-
slowed upon it, The keynote to the spar
rows character is to be found in the
delusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried ON for its es-
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay of the sparrow. This it OBJ
tains in the fields at seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky condi-
ton, and when fully matured. At this
last named period quantity of grain is
wasted by being shaken out ON the
ground by the birds, in addition to the
amount actually consumed At this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
live for the greater part of the year in
towns are tempted to visit the field,
their grimy appearance proclaiming
their usual haunts.
I'm gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for.its destructive propensities in
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
as well as a few gOOseberries and cher
ries. In the most mischievOus way, too,
it pulls to pieces the flowers of the
crocus, dahlia, primrose, polyanthus,
hepatica, heartsease, wistaria, the shoots
of pinks and carnations, the pods of the
laburnum and the blossom of fruit
trees. 1t also does considerable damage
to beds of young radishes and lettuces,
besides levying toll on the grass seeds
sown ON lawns. On the other hand, it
must be freely admitted that the spar
row does great deal of good.
"Among the pests destroyed by the
sparrows are wirewOrms, daddy long
legs, weevils from peas and beans,
aphides, caterpillars of various kinds,
housefies, blue beetles, black beetles
and white butterflies In some districts
choviss. otherwise known as Maybugs,

occasionally do immense damage, ana
at such times sparrows have been seen
with their mouths crammed full of
them. The quality of weed seeds which
the sparrow eats must also be placed to
its credit, for in this way is helps to
suppress such Objectionable plants as
charlock, corn bind weed, goosefoot,
knotgrass, buttercup, dandelion, chick
weed and dock "

IN MANY localities cattlemen and sheepmen do not get along very we'll to- gether and the former have been in- clined to feel that the tariff bill, which has ruined their opponents. was not any matter of concern to them. But they are destined to discover that they make great mistake in the premises, for they also are hit hard by the new law. The Mckinley law fixed the duty on foreign cattle at $10 per head, while the Wilson bill cuts it down to 20 per cent ad valorem. Cattle are worth less than $5 head in Mexico. The plains there are covered with them and the great herds can be brought into this country under the new law and sold in direct competition with American stock The effect must be to depress prices in this country. While the result viii not be as disastrous as in the case o1 the sheep business, it will, neverthe' less, be very seriota. Texas cattle owners are already aroused over the matter. They are acquainted with the conditions prevailing in Mexico and they can realize the danger, but cattle men everywhere will feel the effect when the importations shall have beer gotten well started.
