HOW BIRDS HELP FARMERS.

other Xermin.

They Prey on Mice, Insects and
other Vermfn.
Arthur Henry in Ainslee's.
THE bulletins on birds and mammals
published by the Biological Survey at
Washington correct widely prevalent er-
rors as to the economic status Of species
that affect agricultural interests and
demonstrate the deficiency and waste
fulness of bounty laws, under which mil
loss Of dollars have been expended by
the various states, and territories without
accomplishing the object for which they
were intended.
Birds are the farmers most valuable
aids IN his lifelong battle with the in
sects that play on his crops. How impor-
tant. therefore, that he should not de-
stroy them that do him greatest service.
In the case Of hawks and owls the di-
vision has shown. by the examination Of
the stomach contents of about three
thousand of these universally hated and
prosecuted birds, that only six out of the
seventy-three kinds inhabiting the United
States are Injurious and three Of these
are so rare they need hardly be consider
ed, leaving only three TO be taken into &C
count as enemies Of agriculture. The
others prey upon mice, insects and other
vermin, and rank among the farmers
best friends.
Since its establishment, I'm 1885, the
division has examined the stomach con-
tents of nearly fifteen thousand birds be-
longing to two hundred species and sub
species, and has published Information
on the food habits Of one hundred and
forty kinds, mainly hawks. owls crows,
Jays blackbiris. sparrows. thrushes. fly
catchers, swallows, wrens, shikes, wood
peckers. horned larks and cedarbirds''
