TkBBY IS UNDER A CLOUD
Scientist Interested In Protection Of
Birds Casts Grave Suspicion on
the House Cat.

Washington. That house cats an.
nually kill millions Of wild birds In
the United States and that their vir-
tue as destroyers of rats and mice is
exaggerated is the statement of A. X.
Fisher of the department of agricul.
ture.
This onslaught on the character Of
the cat Is made In connection with a
defense of many Of the predaceous
animals which Mr. Fisher declares
generally live on some form of pests.
except when such food Is scarce and
they have to resort to the chicken
roost for instance to exc OFT liv.
ing until the crop OF pests, which are
their food. gets abundant.
The red-tailed hawk, he points out
keeps down the field mice and touches
other food only when its work of ex-
termination of the mice has been too
well done for its own good
Mr.. Fisher pleads for moderation in
the treatment Of predatory birds and
other animals on the ground that
their service as pest destEpyers
should license them, when food is
scarce, to descend on domestic ami
mails, the injury to which, he insists,
is small when compared with the
good the birds do the farmer.
