weed-seed. The paper, soon to be
published in full, viii constitute the
most complete evidence that the bird,

worth one hundred-fold more alive
and at work than dead.
Three years ago | was told of a
farmer who was asked by some hunt
er to allow them to shoot bobwhite
on his land. He replied, 81 don't like
to be unneighborly, boys, but l had
much rather you would go into my
barnyard and shoot my chickens"
From the. point of actual money val
ues involved, the farmer may well
have been right. AS farmer boy l
have seen chinck bugs two or three
inches deep on the platform of the
reaper-more bugs than wheat. We
harvested three or four bushels of
shriveled grain to the acre--but there
were no bobwhite on the farm.
THE above is not intended to sug-
gest any objection to field sport. The
more we have for the boys, and for
the girls too, the better; but is not the
bobwhite worth too much, for the
work it is able to do, to use for sport,
until the country is fully stocked with
them, up to the natural limits of in
sect and weed-seed food supply
When this condition is reached, both
farmer and sportsman will reap rich
reward"

The Value of Bob White

In the course of an interesting study
of the quail, or 'bob-White" as he
is getting to be called all over the
country, by C. F. Hodge, of Clark Uni
versity, the article being published in
Mature and Culture it is stated
that:
"A reasonable estimate places our
annual loss caused by weeds at ST.
100000, and the yearly tax imposed
by insects at $795, 100000. The nat
ural food of the bobwhite is weed seed
and insects, and T. seems to like the
worst kind the best.
MRS. Margaret Morse Nice has COM
pleted an exhaustive study of the food

seeds, by an adult in October; togeth-
er at little over an ounce.
Interesting tests were also made to
determine how many weed-seeds of
single kind a bird would eat in a day.
They were not given insects or grain,
but were always allowed all the green
food, apple, chickweed, lettuce, cab
bage, etc, they needed in addition to
the single seed offered Some of the
tests were:
Burdock, 600: Beggar ticks, 1900;
Curled dock, 4,175; Rabbits foot clov-
err, 10000; Dodder, $50; Smartweed
2250; Black mustard, $500: Evening
primrose, 10000; Plaintain, 1850;
Lambs quarters, $1,000 Pigweed,
$1,000.
BY this method Mrs. Nice has added
siXty-one weedseeds to the sixty-eight
species which the department of agri-
culture had previously discovered by
stomach examination.
"The bobwhite has been discovered
to eat 1856 different kinds of insects,
many of them the most injurious that
we have the potato beetle, which few
other birds eat; cucumber beetle, cut
worms, army worms, chinch bugs and
cotton boil weevil.
Mrs. Nice's observations have added
few specially significant species to
the government lists, among them
mosquitoes, typhoid and stable flies,
(larvae, pupae and adults, squash
bugs, plant lice of many sorts, moths,
cabbage butterfly, peach tree borer,
codling moth, carpet-beetle, clothes
moths and the Hessian fly.

of the bobwhite. Instead of killing
the birds and Analysing the contents
of the crop, she has worked by the
living feeding-test method. That is,
she has offered different foods to the
birds and has counted or weighed the
amount eaten. The total food for a
day forms a natural unit in this work,
and a great many of these daily
dietaries have been studied; among
them we may quote few:
Not a Dainty Diet.
1850 flies, eaten in one day by a
laying hen along with weed-seeds and
green food.
5000 aphids, besides other food.
