BIRDS SERVICE TO MAN.
They Destroy and Eat an Incredible
Number of Insects.
From the Chicago Daily News.

From the Chicago Daily News.
In its campaign for the protection Of
birds the Audubon Society of New York
is distributing a variety of small tracts
designed to show the character and use
fulness of the birds which are so ruthless
ly destroyed partly in the name of sport
and partly for commercial purposes, says
an exchange. A treatise on the economic
value Of birds, reprinted from Bird Life,
shows that they render an incalculaoe
service to man in preventing the undue
increase of insects, in devouring small TO-
dents, in destroying the seeds of harmful
plants and in acting as scavengers.
1t is interesting TO note the vast quanti-
ties of insect life that the birds consume
for food. Birds digest their food so rap
idly that it is difficult to estimate from
the contents of a birds stomach at any
given time how much it eats during the
day. The stomach of a yellow-billed
cuckoo which was shot at o'clock in the
morning contained the partially digestei
remains of forty-three tent caterpillars.
Prof. Forbes, director of the Illinois State
Laboratory Of Natural History found I'D
larvae of Bibio-a fly which in the larval
stages feeds on the roots of grass-in the
stomach of a single robin. f.. H. Forbusn'
ornithologist of the Massachusetts state
board of agriculture, is authority for the
statement that in the stomachs OF four
chickadees were found OBS eggs Of the
canker worm.
Even the hawks and owls are of service
to mankind. DR.. A. X. Fisher. the assist
ant ornithoogist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, has found that
80 per cent. of. the food of the red-shou-
dered hawk commonly called "henhawh'
