THE CRIME OF MAN KILLING.

Another man, taking oifense over
some petty difficulty, has gone for a
gun, with which to wreak vengeance.
Will this thing ever cease? 1t is with
in the power of the people of Texas
to put stop to it, Maudlin sympa-
thy will not do it, nor will light
.tunate enough to- kill the wrong
man.
What Texas needs now more than
anything else is a drill in the COM
mandment, Thou shalt not kill If
the people of the state would awak-
Ell to the enormity Of it and say in
their might, This thing shall
cease" there would soon be an end
to il. 4 ,aaN" .aaf
Every day the press of Texas is
called upon to note some item of man
killing People at a distance gaze at
the item listlessly and wonder why
such things should be, while the
people OF the immediate neighbor-
hood, many Of them, set about get
ting him free from the punishment
for his crime.
Just so long as this is done, just
so long as maudlin sympathy is ex-
tended TO the murderer, just SO long
as tho man killer ~ made hero in
the eyes of the Iising generation,
just so long will the crime,rof muir
der be of daily occurrence in Texas.

SAYS THE QUAIL EATS NO BOIL
WEEVILS.

1t viii be a relief 10 those who are
fond of quail shooting to know that
Bob White is not destroyer Of
boil weeyils. aud therefore the pro-
lection he has heretofore received
from many under the suppositipn
that he was will no longer avail him.
In circular No. GA, issued by the bN
reau of biological survey. IL is stat
ed authoritatiyely that the anail does
not eat boil weevils This declaration
is made after official experiment and
investigation. The circular. which
vas prepared by Arthur r. Howell,
assistant in the biological survey
says sixty-three quais Were examin-
ed during January, February and
March. and that not one of them had
eaten a weevil that thirty-eight
were examined during July, August
and September with the same result
willie 1oS were examined during DC
iober, November and December and
only one weevi was found The cir
cuiar does not give any information
o. to the value of the quail in des-
t, Dying other insect pests.
Til" authority above referred to
say il regard TO the good the birds
kroNn to be weevil eaters do the
cotton farmer:
The service rendered by the vast
army of birds which occupies the
cotton plantations of the south dur
ing the winter months is only begin
ming to be appreciated. During the
first season in which birds were stu
died in their relation to the weevil,
only twenty species were discovered
to feed upon the insect, and it was
supposed that the influence of
birds in keeping down the pest was
slight Later Investigations, however,
carried on during several years and
at all seasons, Jamestown that no
less than fifty-thres species of natiKa
birds feed upon the pest many Of
them destroying large numbers of
weevils during the most; critical per-
Tod of the insects life" that is,, in
winter and early spring. Among the
thirty species known to eat the Wee
vii in winter, several speciesS notably
the upland plover. the meadow lark
and the various blackbirds, are FREE
quently killed for food or sport, the
plover or 'papabotte' especially be-
ing the victim of extensive persecu-
ton, which has reduced the species
to a small traction of its former
numbers. e
The circular gives especial credit
to the black bird, meadow lark, spar
row, titlark. wren and titmouse for
good work in destroying the Gotten
boil weeyil in the winter months,
! when the work of destruction is SO
| much more effective than in other
months, for the reason that every
WeeNll killed IN Winter prevents the
propagation and growth Of progeny
by it during the spring and summer.
OF course none of the recent re-
ports referred to discredit the quail
in the least when it comes to the de-
struction of other insects or when it
comes to the consumption of vast
quantities of grass and weed seeds
that might really, in many eases, give
the farmer more trouble, than any
single pest could give him. There are
other authorities who still contend
and offer evidence to prove that the
quail is a voracious consumer of the
