engage It from his clothing forced the
trigger back and the gun discharged,
emptying the deadly charge into young
Eardley's left breast. The bullet pene-
trated the heart part of tho lung and
came out on the opposite side be-
tween the nth and sixth ribs killing the
boy Instantly.
The Bell boy, frantic with grief when

But the evidence was unmistakable'
and if three doves at a single meal
safeguard the farmers against the
growth of q, 900 weeds what a STU

THE FRIEND OF THE FARMER
Doves Destroy Millions OF Insects
and Eat Bushels of Seeds
nj Noxious Weeds.

Who, that has had any acquaintance
with rural regions, has not listened
with pleasure to the distant note OF the
"dim. sequestered dove" that to Sid
new Lanier's ear incurred with such
melodious art?" Most of us, indeed,
are familiar with the appearance OF
this gentle little creature, which by
some is regarded as a game bird ana
shot as readily as its larger confrere,
the ordinary dove though the former
is more delicately shaped and more
daintiIy colored), despite the fact that
it is one one of the best friends the
farmer possesses, says the Augusta
Chronicle.
The Audubon Society tells us that
close examination of the crops OF
several hundred mourning doves re-
vealed over 80 per cent vegetable
matter, of which about One-thtrd was
composed of cereals, corn, wheat,
ETC., but almost all Of these were
fragments, broken or discarded
grains picked uD on the surfaces of
the fields or about barn yards. The
remaining &C per cent, roughly speak
ing, consisted of seeds, wild seeds,
the seeds of nOxiOus weeds whose
presence means the most trying labor,
as well as direct pecuniary loss to the
farmer.
Probably no agricultural toll is
comparable in severity with that of
"chopping out" weeds, as all of our
farming class are aware, while if
neglected If simply means the strang-
ulation of the crops by those unwel-
come visitors. How much of this
weary work lis spared the farmer, or
what actual saving in dollars occurs
from the feeding habits of the dove, it
is, of course, impossible to calculate,
but that it is enormous is beyond
question.
The crops of three doves only were
found to contain over q, 600 seeds of
undesirable weeds, some SO minute
that one would have imagined that
nothing but the smalles, tirts would
have taken the trouble to eat them,
