Birds and Horticulture.

William E. Praeger of the Univer-
sity of Illinois, says:
Before the days of scientific investi-
cation enactments against the birds
as destroyers of fruit and grain were
not rare. In 1920, ~Bridgewater, Mass,
successfully exterminated the greater
part Of her bird population, ~deteriora-
ton of nearly all crops was the i'm
mediate result and the policy towards
the birds was quickly changed. In
Virginia and Carolina at one time war
was especially waged on the wood
peckers till it was found that the for
ests and orchards were suffering from
W~ood-boring insects. During the
French revolutions guns came for the
first time into the hands of the people
and great scarcity of food prevailed,
so all birds were unfortunately
shot; the effects on orchards, fields
and vineyards were soon SO apparent
that, in many districts. stringent laws
for their protection were enforced.
Prussia once, believing it would bene-
fit agriculture, ordered a tax of twelve
birds heads to be paid annually
by each farmer; it took Prussia just
two years to learn by sad experience
the error of her ways. l could numer-
ate many such instances. Even with
in the present decade a committee of
b house Of commons, appointed to
investigate a plague of field mice that
was destroying the crops in several
counties in the British Isles, reported
that it was chiefly due to the scarcity
OF owls and hawks, so recommended
the protection of birds Of prey.
We of Illinois. may congratulate
ourselves that birds have not disap-
peared from our land as they have
from other less fortunate districts. 1t
is true birds are fewer than they used
to be, but this decrease is chiefly
among the larger species. Lovers OF
nature may regret that so many in
teresting forms are disappearing, and
the increasing scarcity of game birds
and waterfoWls will deprive us of an
important food supply; but it is the
small birds of the field and orchard
in which the farmer is most intereste1

and these, save in a very few localities
are practically as numerous as ever.
But the same causes are now at work
that have elsewhere produced such
serious consequences. Our population
is increasing, our cities are growing,
the prairies are titled. the woods and
marshes are disappearing. Whatever
its effect on the birds we look with
righteous pride on the material growth
of u state. But there is another side
to the picture on which we must look
with feelings far otherwise than pride.
cheap firearms are everywhere, birds
are shot indiscriminately for 1.-THE fun

when the young prince, wandering
away from his MISUNDERSTANDING
was suddenly greeted by a boy with,
the familiar question:
What's you name? Where do you

The prince gravely replied:
MY name is Wales; I board at Wind

Then he shook hands with the in

Lessons from Farming Experiences.
A Manitoba farmer writes to M
OF our exchanges of the lessons to be
cleaned from the season of 1900 which
was abnormally dry. during April, May
and most of June which naturally dis
couraged.
Then abundant rains watered the
country and revived the perishing
crops. Rains continued during har-
vesting which considerably damaged
the short crops and so encouraged the
weeds that the work was very diff
cult. Hail also added to losses sus-
tanned by farmers. 1hreshing returns
showed an average wheat yield OF
about eight bushels to the acre which
sold at an average price of so cents
per bushel. Potatoes yielded we'll,
however, and none of the grain crops
were an absolute failure, so farmers
are not grumbling much. The lessons
learned from the season by the writer
referred to were summarized as fol-
lows:
First. Summer fallow, when well
prepared, is the safest land for crop
In all seasons. and without a rotation
OF crops the land should be summer
fallowed every third year.
Second. Put the seed we'll down
with a press drill.
Third. Cultivate the land with the
harrows just before the grain is up,
and go over it again when it is a few
inches high with a light harrow or
the Weeder. To those who follow this
method weeds have lost a good deal
OF their terror, and cultivation holds
the moisture.
Fourth. After the land Especially
light soiD has been cropped and sum-
mer fallowed for years, it is bound to
n1t with the wind. A sub-surface
packer will help, for it is a good i'm
plement; but nothing less than grass
root fibre will hold the soil. Bronze
grass seems to fill the bill. The seed
mas been expensive, but will soon be
cheaper.
Fifth. Any farmer, with all his
crop on one farm, ought to insure
against hail. Before insuring, make
sure Of the fins and outs" of the COM
pany you insure with.
Sixth. Every farmer should have
some other source of revenue than the
wheat crop. So much has been said
upon mixed farming" that it is need
less to dwell upon it here, but this
year has given an object lesson that
may be of some service.
Seventh. Every farmer knows that
a crop may not come up to his expec-
tations, even in a favorable season.;
but if there is an element of chance
each succeeding year demonstrates
more clearly that good farming pays,
n the man who combines science
with experience will most surely pros
per.
Eighth. Be careful about mourning
liabilities upon the strength of next
years crop.
