The Value Of Birds.

An ornithologist recently asserted
that except for the destruction Ct

been no cotton boil weevil plague.
This may or may not be correct; yet
it is coming to be generally recog.
nized that the farmer has no better
friends than the birds flying about
his acres destroying insects and the
seeds of noxious weeds. And there
is to be noted movement in several
of the States to the end of protecting
the birds-game and non game-be.
cause of their good Offices to the
farmer. It is the nature of birds to
feed on insects and seeds.
The investigation of the stomachs
of dovee, partridges, sparrows and
larks has shown that their food
consists almost wholly of bugs,
worms and seeds of weeds. In the
stomach of one dove, examined by a
scientist. there were found approx
metely $4,000 seeds of weeds; and
this was one days feeding. In the
stomach of several psrtridges more
than 90 per cent. of the food was
found to be bugs and worms de-
structive to vegetable life. Should
not these facts be sufficient to COM
mend doves and pa1tridges to the
most distinguished consideration of
the farmers and law makers? One
little sparrow that wac killed in q
cotton field had forty army worms in
it's stomach. Wasn't that enough

that protective tariff must benefit

growing richer and richer while the

must be cause for this; and weBub-
