NATURE PROVIDED REMEDIES
IGNORANCE AS TO THE ECO
NONIIC VALUE OF BIRDS.

The Farmer of All Others Should
Demand the Most Stringent Laws
For Their Protection.
The experience of mankind has
shown that Natures remedies are
best for all kinds of ills. The i'm
pOrtant thing is to discover what
they are, and then give them a
chance. Nature has balanced things.
The birds, for instance, feed on the
insects and keep them in check. If
we kill all the birds the insects will
in a short time destroy all vegeta-
ton.
The United States biological sur
vey has recently issued a bulletin
in which it is asserted that the
shore birds are rapidly disappearing,
and many varieties have become $50
reduced that determination seems
imminent" 1t is explained in the
circular that the plea for protection
is not based solely on sentimental
grounds, "for few groups of birds
more thoroughly deserve protection
from an economic standpoint" Nine
species of shore birds are known to
feed on mosquitoes Four species
destroy horseflies and two species de-
your the North American fever tick.
Some of them eat the larvae of the
crane fly. Others prey largely on
grasshoppers and many of them con-
sumo great qualities of locusts In
summing up these matters the circu-
lar says:
The economic record of the shore
birds deserves nothing but praise.
These birds injure no crop, but on
the contrary feed upon many of the
worst enemies of agriculture. It is
worth recalling that their diet in
cludes such pests as the Rocky
Mountain locust and other Injurious
grasshoppers, the army worm, cut
worms, cabbage worms. cotton
worms, cut worms, boil weevil, clio
yer leaf weevil, clover root curculio,
rice weevil, corn billbugs, wire
worms, corn leaf-beetles, cucumber
beetles, white grubs and such foes Of
stock as the Texas fever tick, horse
flies and mosquitoes Their warfare
on crawfishes must not be overlook
ed, nor must we forget the more per-
sonal debt of gratitude we owe them
for preying upon the mosquitoes.
They are the most important bird
enemies of these pests known to us.
They should be protected, first, to
save them from the danger of ex-

insurance department or to insure
proper figures. He declared, too,
that Attorney Wickersham wanted to
break a so-called monopoly to boost
the price of cotton, but crushed no
illegal combination to force the sta
pie down.
When congress meets again in De-
cember, Senator Smith said, he is go
ing to introduce a bill to require the
secretary of agriculture to show in
his monthly cotton census not only
the amount of cotton in the field,
but the number of bales in ware
houses and who owned these bales.
Throughout his speech Senator
Smith was heartily cheered, and it
was he who spoke until faces in the
dingy auditorium could not be dis
tinguished.
The convention was called togeth-
er at noon in the auditorium of the
Exchange hotel. Captain Reuben F.
Kolb, commissioner of agriculture
for Alabama, was made temporary
chairman. He presided until Com
missioner of Agriculture E. ]. Wat
son of South Carolina was made per-
manent chairman.

HELPLESS, RIPS BALLOON BAG.
H. PERCY SHEARMAN HAS A
THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Finally Becomes Desperate, Cuts
Canvas With His Knife and
Falls Back Helpless.


AUBURN, Me.-Half benumbed
from a swift fight through rain, hail
and cold and unable to make the es-
cape valve or rip cord of his balloon
work properly H Percy Sherman
climbed up through the ropes, slash
ed the silken bag with a knife, and
fell back unconscious into the bas-
ket. The balloon dropped rapidly to
the ground and tonight Sherman,
resting comfortably, was able to tell
something of his experiences.
1t was on farm on the outskirts
of this city that Sherman, who is
president of the Williams College
Aeronautical Society, this morning
ended the longest balloon fight ever
made in New England by an aero
naut unaccompanied. The distance
from Pittsield, Mass, where he as
cended early in the morning, is ap-
proximately 200 miles.
Soon after leaving Pittsfeld
Shearman's balloon, the Springfield,
ran into a heavy rainstorm, later
changing to hail. No sooner had he
passed through this than he encount-
cred a cold air current. Feeling
the effects of the exposure Sherman
several times tried to descend. but
was unable to debate the bag. His
strength was nearly exhausted when
he finally resorted to his knife. No
serious effect on his health is antici-
pated.

WAR ON GAMBLERS IS BEGUN
A CAROLINA SENATOR SOUNDS
THE KEYNOTE AT MEETING.
Said Farmer Must Declare His Fnan-
cial Independence, and Demand
a Fair Profit.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.-One thous-
and men from every cotton growing
state in America met today in Mont
gomery and conferred to devise ways
and means to rebut the figures of the
federal cotton report and to secure
better price for cotton. There were
present congressman, United States
senators, the commissioners of agri-
culture or their representatives from
every southern state, together with
hundreds of farmers, bankers, bust
ness and professional men, whose
homes are scattered throughout the
south.
One of the principal speakers of
the day was Senator E. D. Smith of
South Carolina, who in scathing re-
marks denounced the so-caIIed gam
blers of Wall street, Liverpool, New
Orleans and foreign markets, and
cried that the southern farmer must
declare his financial independence
of these people. He said the far
mer should demand fair profit on
his cotton, and yentured the asser-
ton that if the New England farmer
had such monopoly crop as the
cotton crop he would demand and re-
ceive 30 cents a pound for it.
Senator Smith also made an attack
upon the accuracy of the govern
ment's cotton report, and said that
the southern farmer had lost enough

termination, and second, because of
their economic Importance. So
great, indeed, is their economic val
ue, that their retention on the game
list and their destruction by sports
men is a serious loss to agriculture.
There is widespread ignorance as
to the economic value of birds. When
the farmers fully realize their i'm
portance they will demand stringent
laws for their protection, and a rigid
enforcement of those laws.

 Unlike many rich men who like horses Mir. Billings is a first class judge of all sorts of nags and does his own buying.

After sec ing UhIan beaten by Hamburg Belle in 2.01 1-4. POI 3-4, he figured that with different management the horse had a chance to beat the best trotting record by 8 gelding, and gave direc- tions to buy him at the asked price.

BILLINGS KEEN HORSEMAN. Owner of UhIan and Lou Dillon Be- Iieves American Trotter Best Un- r;er Saddle

c. K. G. Billings, who owns two champion trotters in Uhlan and Lou Dillon, each of which has record better than 1.59, is an all around horseman. He has driven his trotters and his paeers to many top marks to pairs with The Monk and Equity, which he drove to the pole in POT 34, and he likewise is supreme in the mat ter of saddle work with harness horses. taking down trotting honors with Charley Mac and those for pacers with Greenline, says Henry Ten Eyck White. Of late years MT. Billings has given great deal of attention to riding, and, believing the American trotter es a breed to be the best under the saddle as we'll as in harness, he has put together a string of riding horses every one of which has trot- ting records of better than 2.10. With them he has demonstrated that the trotter is the best walk, trot, and can- ter horse in the world, and incident ally done lot to show other lovers of saddIers that the rocking chair horse with a lot of jig time. twostep and teetering move on tap will not suit the average man as well as the walk, trot and canter nag. During the recent Lexington trotting meeting MT. Billings sent to the Kentucky town, in the car that took Uhlan to the blue grass country, a number of his saddle horses.
 MT. Billings is not the first of his line to he fond of harness horses. His father, A. M. Billings, a Vermonter, liked nothing so we'll as roadster capable of doing 12 to IS miles an hour over the up hill and down dale roads of the Green Mountain state and among the good ones owned by him was Princess. which made record of 2.30 in 1858 when that rate of speed by a trotter meant more than does 2.1O at the present time.
