Birds on the Farm

Among the farmers best friends are
the birds that visit his fields and or
chards. The good that they do is not
often appreciated. We are certain to no.
tice the loss ola crop through insect pests;
but " hen the crop is good, it seldom oc-
ours to us to think that it might have
been lost but for the good offices Of
friends or favorable conditions.
Insect enemies are almost always pres
emit in sufficient numbers to do consider
able damage il they are not kept in check
by their enemies. One OF the best reg
ulators of insect life is the birds. In the
winter months the trees are thoroughly
searched by chickadees, which pick up
insect eggs and tear open cocoons and
nests These birds eat seeds as well, and
can be attracted to the place by being
fed hayseed, suet and other dainty bits.
Various members OF the woodpecker
family are to be seen during the winter.
They are especially fond OF wood boring
grubs, ants, cocoons of various insects,
and eat insect eggs whenever they are to be
found. When we consider the number of
these small creatures required for the
meal OF bird, and the power these
have OF reproducing themselves il left un-
destroyed, we can get some idea of the
benefit derived from this winter work.
In spring and summer the black birds
often do very great service eating the cat
erpillars from field crops, espe ,ially near
the bodies of water where these birds
make their homes. Most hawks and owls
are OF distinct value to the farmer, partic-
ularly the larger species. They live chiefly
on mice, rabbits and gophers, with few
small birds for a relish. Great harm is
often done by the indiscriminate killing
OF these birds. Our farmers should do all
in their power to encourage and cultivate
! the birds.

An interesting discovery in a matter
which for years has puzzled savants of
fish culture Of this eouptry and the old
world, was recently made at the Green
Lake fish hatchery.
For years the question of how cells
breed has been topic of frequent lively
discussion, many theories and some broad
guesses by fish culturists One theor,
widely accepted was that ,eels deposit
their spawn in deep water and that the
young cells then find their way to fresh
water where they are frequently found in
small streams of quick water. Another
theory was that they laid large eggs like a
snake, and still another was that they
brought forth their young alive.
The reason for so much difference of
opinion was that no one, SO far as known,
had ever found spawn in an eel. This il
what has now been discovered at the
Green Lake hatchery. An eel taken from
one of the ponds at the hatchery was
opened by Mess-s. Drummey and Moore, of
the hatchery force, and spawn Yves found.
This sets at rest the theory that cells lay an
egg like snake, or that they give birth
to young, but does not definitely deter
mine the question of where they spawn.
Supt. Race, of the Green Lake hatchery,
is inclined to the opinion that the cells
spawn in fresh water streams, near where
the small cells, from one and one-half to
two inches in length, are SO frequently
found. He does not think it reasona BILE
that cells so small could travel miles from
deep salt water to the streams. From the
stage of development of the spawn found
in the eel last week, MIR. Race thinks the
spawning time is the late fall
A specimen of the spawn has been sent
to the department at Washington, where
it will undoubtedly attract large attention
from experts in fish culture.
