Here is a source of reve- nue and incomes The officials dependent upon the remuneration afforded by the fee system are naturally aggressive cit izens. They realize that whether this years income amounts to 5000 or $l0.- 900, or more depends solely on the num- Der of arrests made by them and those associated with them.
 This being true, can it be doubted that their zeal is dampened or mitigated because of conscientious scrupes? Can not they justly claim that they are the victims of the will of the people? Are they to blame for the existing methods by which they are compensated?
 'On the other hand, the argument is presented that if they were working sole ly on a salary basis they would be in- cined to loose enforcement of law, and conditions would then be more aggra- vated than at present

Killdeer

AIl1uCCI
Like the upland plover the killdeer
spends much Of its time away from wa
ter. 1t frequently nests in cornfields or
pastures and even comes about the
abode of man. These preferences nat
urally influence the food habits of the
species, affording it an opportunity to
destroy insects which are directly re-
lated to agriculture. The food of the
killdeer is varied, being composed Of
the following principal items: Beetles,
37.06 per cent; other insects. as grass
hoppers, caterpillars, ants, bugs, caddis
flies, dragon flies. and two-winged flies,
1875 per cent; and other invertebrates,
AZ centipeds, spiders. ticks, oyster
worms, earthworms, snails, crabs. and
other crustacea, 21. IL per cent. Vege-
table matter composes 2.28 per cent of
the total food, and is chiefly made up of
weed seeds, such rs buttonweed, smart
weed, foxtail grass, and nightshade.
Among the injurious beetles con-
sumed are the following weevils: AL
falfa weevil, cotton-boll weevil. clover
root weevil, clover-leaf weevil. rice
weevil, cowpea curculio. white-pine
weevil, and bill bugs. The latter alone
constitute more than 2 per cent Of the
whole food. The alfalfa weevil. new
and destructive pest, is relished by the
killdeer. Al being found in single
stomach. Other destructive beetles de-
voured arc white grubs and their adult
forms. the May beetles; wireworms and
their images, the click beetles; larvae
Of the genus Ligyrus, which attack
sugar cane, corn, and csrrots; brown
fruit beetles, which injure apples and
corn; the grapevine leaf-beetle; two
striped tortoise beetle. which Injuries
sweet potatoes; and = flea beetle which
attacks tobacco and sugar beets.
Grasshoppers and crickets. including
mole crickets, are staple food. Two
winged flies or Diptera furnish 11.91
per cent Of the food Of the killdeer.
Such pests al crane flies and their lar
vac, known as leatherjackets, are eat
en-, - well - horssflies and mosquitoes
and their larvae. One stomach con-
tanned hundreds Of larvae Of the salt
marsh mosquito, which is one of the
most troublesome Of the biting species.
The state of New Jersey has spent
thousands Of dollars in trying to reduce
the numbers of this pest. The killdeer
thus bsfriends man, but it does some
thing also for the domestic animals, not
only by eating horseflies and mosqui-
toes. a. just mentioned, but also by
preying upon ticks. including the Amer
ican fever tick, which has caused such
enormous losses in some parts Of the
South.
In Ill. 9.72 per cent Of the killdeer's 3
food is composed Of insects and other
animal matter. The bird preys upon
many Of the worst crop pests and il .
, valuable economic factor. There can
b no logical reason for continuing to
regard it - . game bird. .-Farmers'
