VOLUME XVII
Preserve The Birds.

Much interest is being manifested
by some of our readreS in thier efforts
TO preserve the game and song birds
of our country, and quite a number
have joined the National Society for
that purpose. This is a move IN the
right direction. A generation or two
ago many of the insect enemies that
now devastate the fields and orchards
were comparatively unknown and did
little damage because held in check by
the birds. The latter have killed out
and the ravages of worms and bugs
go on unchecked. Few people know
the value of birds. Every bird is valu-
able to the farmer except the English
sparrow, and he is the only one that
multiplies. A meadow lark destroys
hundreds of destructive insects every
day during summer and in winter lives
on the seed of weeds that would fill out
fields. The work of a flock of par
tridges is worth almost as much to a
farm as that of man. Even the crow
with all of his thieving, predatory
traits, does more good than harm and
where ne eats one chicken or egg, ne
destroys thousands of bugs and worms.
In addition to the good work done, our
song birds enliven our Spring months
with music that is equaled by nothing
else. Teachers can do much good by
impressing on the children the good
work done by the birds and, in the
meantime we are glad to see the in
terest manifested in their preserva-
ton by some of our men an women.

enough help cannot be found. One
town is to be almost depOpulated this

and let their clerks go to the harvest

are meeting the trains IN small towns,
and making offers to male passengers
they find aboard to "stop off and help
handle the crops. Propositions are be-

and train crews for the great task.
One police Court Judge is trying to
discover way whereby he may legally
sentence convicted prisoners to labor

said the Superintendent of the bureau,
for an able-bOdied man to attempt
to cross the State. He's liable to be
kidnapped by some desperate farmer

seems to be getting desperate. There
are acres and acres OF ripened wheat
out there with few men to handle it. "
