ABOUT BIRDS.

Mankind may pass laws for the pro- lection of birds and their eggs, but he cannot protect one bird from the at tacks of another, especially when a clutch of nice fresh eggs is the object of the winged thief Or burglar. One of the greatest culprits is the rock, whose solemn stalk over a recently sown field or along 8 piece of old fallow seems, as far as the outward and prying appear ance of the bird can guide us, to be di- veTted ito the destruction of the noxious Wireworm or any other harmful insect. But woe betide the blower if his black majesty comes across an exposed nest of eggs! That long and powerful bill makes short work of ''plovers' eggs au naturel.' Later on the rock will find out and devour with relish the eggs both of partridge and pheasant, and go on through the merry month of May he will break the game laws and bid defi- ance to the Bird and Egg Preservation acts, especially if the season be a dry one and the ground baked by the sun, defies his earth probing and earth bur rowing bill. The crow, working in more solitary fashion, like more hard ened criminals in remote parts of the country, along healthy hillsides and in distant marass, will carry out his 'moss-trooper" raids upon the hearths and homes of other birds, and the vic tims of these raids are only too ready to give evidence against the guilty.
