WHAT THE BIRDS EAT.
Professor Washburn Divides the Feathercd
Tribes Into Three Glasses.

Professor Wa>hburn Divides the Feathercd
Tribes Into Three Glasses.
Professor e. L. Washbnrn OF the
State Agricultural college read pa
per before tho State horticultural So
ciety on "Birds and tho Horticulture
ist, in which, after showing the re-
suit Of many painstaking expert
ments in examining birds stomachs
ETC., he goes on to say:
Summarizing from what has been
done in this line elsewhere and from
personal observation, it would seem
that we might classify tho commoner
birds in rather vaguely defined
groups, it is true, under four heads.
We would, however, reserve the
privilege of condemning any bird
when it became a veritable nuisance
to the fruit grower.
Under Birds Worthy Of Our Pro-
lection" l would place the robin,
bluebird, all the sparows except the
English SPARROW, bullocks, oriole,
all hycatchcrS and vilecs, swallows,
most Of the woodpockers, most Of
the thrushes, the red tailed hawk.
tho red shouldelod hawk, Swainson's
hawk or buzzard, marsh hawk, spar
row. hawk, long cared owl, short
cared owl, barred owl and the
screech owl.
Under Birds Probably Beneficial
we might place the following: Black
birds, red shafted flicker, kinghird
found in parts of eastern OrogonJ
cherry bird or cedar bird, the horned
lark, black winged yollowbird, OF
wild canary" China pheasants,
quail, ruf1lcd grouse or native pleas
ant" blue grouse and great horned
owl.
Under Doubtful" l would place
the jays, crows, meadow lark, black
headed grosbeak, ground dove,'
golden eagle, bald eagle.
And under DECIDEDLY Bad
should unhcsitatingly place the pur'
pie linnet, or cherry thief" the
woodpecker called tho sap sucker"
Cooper's hawk and sharp Skinned
hawk.
In considering the above arbitrary
divisions it should be borne in mind
that many birds placed in the Doubt
full" column may really deserve
a better place, though the examina'
ton of stomachs have not extended
through long enough timo to show
this. The eagles, for instance, in lo'
calities whcro their natural food is
abundant are undoubtedly beneficial.
1t is only when this supply is cut
off that they become injurious. The
China pheasant is reported to mo by
some as consuming much grain,
feeding on fr,1it and garden stuff
and even pulling up young pear and
peach pits just sprouted. Yet tho
bulk of testimony seems to point to
the fact that all of our game birds
consume enough injurious insects to
more than balance their bad quail
ties. Gunncrs in this vicinity assure
me that they find many Grasshoppers
in the crop and stomach OF Denny
pheasants, and one man mentions
seeing these birds hunting field for
hoppers much after tho mannor OF
turkeys.
OF tho English sparrow can say
nothing good and trust it may never
yet q foothold in Portland or else
where in Oregon. 1t is noisy, pug
nacious and dirty, and though it has
a penchant for cankor worms 1T
drives away other birds which prey
upon pests for which an English
sparrow has no hlling.-Poruand
Oregonian.

THE srErNERToNE RECOGNIZED.
Mir. M. Stelnert's Invention to De psea
 mt ROsenthai Recital tn New

mt a ROsenthni Recital tn NeW
 York.
 It is now something over year
 since MT. M. Steinert, of the we'll
 known firm of piano. dealers in this city.
 first exhibited the new piano action
 which he has invented. The action was
 praised in these columns at the time
 and comment was made upon the pos
 abilities that the new invention prom
 ised. It will be recalled that many
 prominent musicians from New York and elsewhere came here to hear the
 Steinertone, and that all were enthusi-
 astic over what trey heard. Nevetthe-
 less MT Steinert was not satished with
 the action at that time, and during the
 past year he has been working steadily to improve it. This fall the improved
 and perfected action has been tried by
 many local musicians and by large
 number of visiting musicians who have
 appeared here. All have been most en-
 thus astic. They have been delighted
 by the beautiful bell-like quality of
 tone obtained by means Of the im-
 proved action, which differs considera-
 bly, in quality from the tone of the
 usual action They have also praised the action itself and new possibilities for nuance and gradation of tone pre- scented.
 When Moritz Rosenthal gave his reci- tai here last week he visited MT. Stein ert and examined the "Steinertone. v He was delighted with the tone and the action and played for over an hour, to the great enjoyment of few listeners. He declared that for the first time in his life he could give satisfactory ex- pression to certain passages, and he liked the feeling" of the new action. He told MT Stenert that he hoped to play more on his action, and desired to have a Steinertone sent him as soon as one was completed. That his adnifa- tion was sincere is proved by the fol- lowing telegram, which MT. Steinert received last week:
 Hotel Netherland, New York.
 MT. M. Steinert, New Haven: Wire immediately if you could attach your excellent action to Steinway con- cert-grand for January 26 recital New | York Compliments.
 MORITZ ROSENTHAL. l MT. Steinert was out of town at the ! time the telegram came. but on his re- turn he was naturally pleased by this recognition of his invention by so great a pianist, and he telegTaphed back: l M. Rosenthal, New York:
 I think I can finish concert-grand with my action by the time your recital takes place. M. STEINERT. Although MT. Steinert has no piano l ready for concert use a present he will have one in perfect condition by Janu- ary 26th. This will be the first public
