The Service Of the Birds.

Among the creatures that rem
der service to mankind the birds
occupy a foremost place. 1t is
their function to suppress the
insects that play havoc with the
farmers hard-earned crops.
Fifty-three per cent of the food
Of birds in one locality was found
to consist of the larvae of the
Notwithstanding musqui-
toes. Horse-flys are the burden
not only of horses. but Of other
valuable stock, and the larvaeaef
this fly are the natural food of
several species of birds. The
fever tick, so injurious to cattle,
is the natural food of the killdeer
and the plover. Corn, cotton and
other crops are destroyed to a
large extent by grasshoppers, and
there are at least % species of
birds that feed upon grasshop-
pers. Grass lands and grain
crops in general suffer greatly
from various insects. which are
destroyed in vast multitudes by
birds. The greatly dreaded boil
weevil is food for the plover, the
killdeer and others of the feath-
cred tribe.
It is a common experience to
see birds following the pillow and
consuming grubs that are de-
structive to garden and other
valuable plants. These friends
of the planter should in every
state be protected by rigid legis-
lation. Their wantom destruct-
ion is a public shame. Louisville

THE BIRDS.
Brooksville, Aug. 10

Editor of the Beacon
l would like to get the Board of Sup
ervisors interested in the birds of our
county, / think in view of the fact that
we are having with US so many worms,
weevils and many insects that are max
ing inroads in our crops, that 1T would
be a good idea for the board to pre-
vent the killing of birds in the county
for, say five years. 1 certainly feel very
much interested in the matter. | would
like to see the cartridges get SO plenti-
full and gentle that they would come up
to our yards and cheer US with his
merry Bob White" Suppose you men
ton the matter in the columns of your
paper. With best wishes. l am,
Yours truly,
A. S. J. GLENN.
The foregoing.letter touches on
a matter of deep concern to the
country. Not only does our bet
ter nature call for the protection
of the birds, but they are useful
and important factors in the ma
terial welfare Of the country.
No useless thing was ever Great
ed, and the part the birds play in
the economies of agriculture is
no slight one. Nature is ever
striving to maintain a balance, to
preserve an equilibrium between
the vegetable and animal world
and between the species Of ami
mails. The insect world is the
most prolific of all geni, and their
Over-numbers are only to be kept
down by the birds. If there were
no birds in a few years there
would be a worldwide famine.
1t is not necessary to recapitu-
late the contents of the stomacbs
of various birds to show that they
are insect eaters. Every child
knows the fact. Not so well
realized is the great need of pro-
tecting the birds. With the ex-
tinction of the wild pigeon the lC-
Gusts came in overwhelming
numbers and in some years did
millions of dollars damage. The
vast focks Of blackbirds so com,
mon here twenty years ago have
dwindied down to few flocks and
they small. The number of in.
sects they destroyed was incalcu.
liable. Other birds must do their
work if the balance is to be pre-
served and the insects kept down
to reasonable numbers.
The worth of birds in an agri,
cultural way should be taught in
schools, and inculcated with 3
good hickory on the minds OF
boys robbing bird nests. This is
not sentiment but sense.
