Value of Birds to farmers.

| A careful study of birds and their u.s.
has led many successful farmers to lool
ing the birds as their friends. They
are worthy of every farmers respect
1t is well known that more than fifty
different species Of birds assist the tar
mer in the destruction of weeds. The
English sparrow does much good IN
this respect. During many OF the cold
months, many kinds Of birds obtain all
Of their food from the seed they find in
ragweed, pig weed, smart weed, and
many other weeds that are pest to
| man.
Let us own them as natures busy
weeders, and yet there are many other
species that assist the farmer in the dc
struction of many kinds of vermin.
From the chirp Of the lark to the wild
goose honk, as he llls his flock toge-
ther, it makes busy feeling in the air
that every progressive person cannot
help admiring and if you are no longer
young, dear reader. do you not seem to
feel your youth come back when you
stop and listen to the singing of the
birds.
While it is true birds do some harm
to grain and other crops. their redeem
ing features will overbalance the harm
in most all cases if we take into con-
siders,ion the good they do. love to
listen to the melody OF the little song

music that is always good to hear.
