THE ROBIN SLAUGHTER.

From reports which have appeared
recently in the daily papers the slaugh-
ser of the robins continues without
abatement in the south, especially in
portions Of Tennessee. 1t seems that
in the eastern portion of Rutherford
county, in that state. the robins shortly
before their migration north congre-
gate by the thousand in the cedar
groves, and it has become a custom to
form large parties for the purpose of
capturing them. In one night one of
these parties made the record catch of
2.63T redbreasts, while it is estimated
that 10000 were captured on these
roosting grounds alone in the three
weeks preceding the one nights catch
referred to. The plan followed in the
capture of the birds is to have catchers
stationed in the cedars, while others
drive the birds to them. Those sta
toned in the trees are provided with
bags, into which the birds are thrust
when caught, one person sometimes
bagging as high as 325 birds in a sin
gle night. And this wanton slaughter
of these beautiful and useful birds is
prosecuted for the munifcent reward
of 10 cents a dozen, which the dead
birds fetch on the local markets. This
case but emphasizes the need of carry
rying out a suggestion made in these
notes some months ago that those in
terested In the effective protection Of
bird life should lend their combined
influence to secure the enactment of a
federal law which will exempt from
such wanton slaughter all useful mi
gratory or interstate birds. A letter of
inquiry sent by the writer to the chief
of the biological survey at Washing
ton ELECTED the information that up to
that time no legislation of this charac-
ter had been presented or even given
serious consideration. 1t would seem
high time that some such action was
being taken.

THE ELY CAMPAIGN.

1t is a pretty good idea to carry the
war on flies into their own territory
namely, out Of doors. A big step along
this line may be made by putting the
accumulations of horse manure in the
stable in some screened bin where the
flies cannot have access to it, as this is
the chief breeding place for the house
fly. If this is not feasible the same
object can be accomplished by scatter
ing slaked lime over the dung pile ev-
cry few days. Thousands of the flies
that swarm near the back door will
congregate elsewhere if all garbage
and slops are put in covered recepta-
cles at some distance from the kitchen
door, while those that do gather there
may be killed by placing formalin So
luton two teaspoonfuls to pint of wa
ter in shallow dishes just outside the
door and sweetening the solution with
a little sugar. This fly killer is to be
commended because it is cheap and is
harmless If the little folks should drink

Growers of sweet peas in a good
many sections had this favorite source
of fragrant bloom well nigh ruined
last season by the green aphides, or
plant lice. These are sucking and not
biting insects, and hence the ordinary
polsons do not reach them. They must
be killed by contact with some spray.
and for this nothing is better than
solution made by sleeping tobacco
leaves or stems in warm water. This
may be applied to the vines with an
effective hand sprayer. If one treat
ment does not kill all Of the lice, a
second application should be given.
