SEA GULLS DEFENDED.
Massachusetts, Expert Denies They Are
Destroying Fish and Birds Eggs.

The accusation made against sea gulls
by fishermen of Scotland that they are
destroying fish and eggs of birds and
are increasing too fast under statutory
protection is denied by Prof. E. H. For
bush, ornithologist for the state board of
agriculture Of Massachusetts, who has
made a special study of the bird this
year and has not found one herring
gull or black headed gull attacking the
eggs Of other birds.
Large numbers of dead fish were
washed up on the Massachusetts, beach
cs this summer owing to the unusual
number Of whales, which drove the small
fish so near land that they were caught
by the breakers and tossed ashore. Town
scayenger departments found it difficult
to keep the beaches clear and they would
have become offensive if it had not been
for the gulls which swooped down and
greedily ate the dead fish. This is put
TO the credit Of the guls.
The live fish which the gulls eat, Prof.
F0rbush declares, are not of the valU-
able kind, but small species like the
sand eel. mummychog and minnow.
Prof. Forbush also points out that the

not be brought against the gull family
as u whole but only few individuals.
As there are black sheep in the human
family 50 there are bad dispositiOned
guIls which may kill young ducks, but
on observer once noted that out of Il
hundred or more gulls only two were
guilty of such killing.
The value Of gulls to the mariner;
Prof. FOrbush says, is well known. In
thick summer weather the appearance
Of gulls III numbers or the sound of
their clamorous voices gives warning.
to the sailors that he is nearing the rocks
on which they breed. Shore fishermen
enshroudcd i'll fog can tell the direction
Of the islands on which the birds live
by watching their undertaking flight
hOmeward with food for their young.
The keen senses of sea birds enable
them to head directly for their nests
even in dense mist. Fishermen also dis
cover schools Of fish. by watching the,
Sea birds.
As To- tile statement that the protec-
ton. q the gulls is causing them to IN
CrEase> too fast, Prof. F'orbush says that
there is no chance for an abnormal in
crease in this country because of the
lack of properly protected breeding
places. The smallest of the family.
the the least tern, is in fact in danger Of
determination.
Another service which the gulls and
other sea birds render is fertilizing, soil
building and seed sowing on barren is
lands

American Limburger Cheese.

1t is now claimed that the United
States makes just as good limburge1
cheese as does the province In Bel
GUM where it originated. The Amerf
can method is to take a piece of q
calf's stomach and set it away in q
warm place in a can of whole milk. Ii
about forty minutes the curdling mess
is pounded and then the whey pressed
out. Afterward forms are filed and
further drainage permitted. Salt is
rubbed on the outside until it becomes
slippery; then the cheese is set away
in the cellar to ripen for a month OF
two and the germs do the rest.
