Birds.

Gardner Reporter Journal)
The secretary of the national asso-
ciation of Audubon societies says that
the cost of living is due in a large
measure to the destruction of insect
eating birds. Some of the birds are
destroyed for their plumage. to adorn
woinen's hats and thousands are killed
to furnish food. AS result the boil
weevils and other pests to vegetation
multiply and cause great loss, the loss
on cotton alone last year on account
of the weeyil being estimated at &c.,
100000, which adds the cost of cotton
cloth. If the birds cannot be preserved
for any other reason, they ought to
be as protection against the ravages
of the insects.

although the fairs are TO be by no

action is in line with a recent bulletin
issued by the national Department of
Agriculture, which advises bringing
the fairs in closer touch with the diff

the agricultural schools and expert
