Killing Birds and the Cost.

A billion dollar loss to the farmers OF
America annually is the cost of the de-
struction of the insectivorous birds;
this is the estimate just made by the
president of the National Association
of Audubon Societies. The prejudice
against the bird is as old as farming it.
self. The yeungster growing up in the
country is encouraged to pillage hedges
and trees for eggs, and often part of
his duties consists in rigging scarecrows,
a task in which he takes immense de-
light. The impressions made on the
mind in youth are slow to forsake the
man in maturity. He is wont to look
on the naturalist as impracticable and
a good deal of harmless crank. How
few birds can Offset the raid of mill
lion insects is beyond him, and he puts
the whole agitation down as rank fool
ishness.
For years the naturalists and nature
lovers have sought to educate the agri-
culturists to the price they pay in per-
hitting the stupid potting of birds, and
to their own practice of trying to keep
them from their lands. Apparently
there has been little success, for new
statistics show rising scale in damage
by insects. Education in this matter
should not be left entirely to the Au
dubon societies. The agricultural
schools appear to have been negligent
in not using their influence more zeal
ously to halt the destruction. AS more
and more the farmers take advantage
Of these state colleges, the opportunity
is offered for the organization of stu
dents whose influence might be tremen-
dous The labors of those instructors
who seek to make two blades grow
where one did before seem feeble beside
an enlightened sense which would save
a billion dollars year.

Death of Mr.. Thomas C1agett.

After a painful illness of many
months Mr.. Thomas Clagett, of "Wes-

on Sunday last. For many years he re-
sided in this county, having inherited

known as Weston, where for several
centuries his forebears resided. Mr..

full of enterprise and energy, and was
always an enthusiastic agriculturist

Cost of Meats Down.

Lower prices for live hogs have at
last borne fruit for the benefit of the
consumer. Within the last month the
price of live hogs has dropped nearly
% hundred, and yet during the time
that hogs were making such stride to
lower levels the price of fresh meat was
constantly held up. The packers gave
out new schedule of prices today.
Pork loins, which were selling to the
retailer at 1871 cents last week, were
dropped to 81 cents this morning; green
hams were dropped to Ct cents, against
previous figure of II cents, and cured
hams went down to II cents a pound
from 10 cents, the former price.
The protests which have come from
the consumers of meat were too strong
TO be resisted, Buyers of meats have
claimed that the profits which the pack
ers were making on their hogs were
greater than they had been for years,
and that the consumers were not secur-

Of higher levels than prices which have

take little time to reach the low-priced
hogs in the shape of meat. They de-

Immediately reduced the price.
The recent drop in hogs brought a

had not been able to secure their meats
at the lower prices than they claimed
should have been indicated by the de-
clines in the live animals.
