PROTECTION FOR THE BIRDS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

to be formulated by the Department OF
Agriculture for the protection Of the
migratory birds are not to be permitted
to interfere with the local laws of the
states and territories for the protection
Of nOn-migratory game or other birds
resident and breeding within their bor-
ders, nor to prevent the states from en-
acting laws to promote and render eff
fcient the regulations of the Department
Of Agriculture provided for under the new
bill.
The enforcement of this new bill is to
be brought about by the appointment of
deputy United States marshals to do the
work. Already hundreds Of thousands of
dollars are being paid out by the different
states for the support Of their game
wardens, and the federal marshal could
go with them and cooperate with them
for the good of the game interests of the
country. The sum of $4,000 has been
appropriated as a beginning for this new
protective work.
Canada is joining with this nation in
the endeavor to secure protection for
migratory birds. since many of the birds
which add to the resources Of that coun-
try come to the southern states for the
winter and their slaughter during migra-
madam bird supply. 1t Is believed that
the passage of the Mclean bill will be
only the forerunner of a movement to
secure international protection for all mi
gratory birds. Senator Root already has
brought the matter forward by his reso-
luton authorizing the President of the
United States Ito propose to the gov
ernments of other North American coun-
tries the negotiation of a convention for
the mutual protection and preserva ton
of migratory Birds and it is hoped that
the movement soon will extend so as to
include both Central and South America.

lists and foresters was called in Vienna.
This convention passed a resolution re-
questing the imperial Austrian govern
ment to secure the protection Of birds
by means Of treaties with other coun-
tries OF Europe. In 1875 Germany. Aus
tria and Italy entered into joint agree
ment for the protection of birds. Since
that time four pathological congresses
have been held in Europe. and there is
now in existence an international agree
ment consisting of eleven articles form
ing code for the protection OF bros.

the Robin in Virginia. Of the in.
sect-eating birds Of the country have
been classed as game in both the north
ern and southern states. Even the robin
is being killed legally in seven states. In
Virginia petition signed by 100000
school children secured the protection Of
the robin in that state by special act
of the legislature passed last year. In five
states the blackbird has been a legal
game bird also.
The friends of the birds have spared
no pains to investigate such birds as
have been charged with being enemies Of
the farmers. For years the kingbird
has been considered. an. enemy to the
honeybee and because of that charge
munities by the persecution Of school
boys An investigation of this charge
recently has been made by a scientist
who examined the contents OF the stom-
achs or crops Of no less than 655 king
birds. About one-tenth Of the contents
was vegetable: fully one-half was of
recognizable insects. including grass
hoppers, rose beetles, boil. weevils, potato
bugs, CaIerplliarS anu AlItureO Oluef pests.
This bird shows a prediction for the
blister bug or meloidae. These insects
contain a drug known as canthordine,
which, besides blistering human skin,
produces other physiological symptoms.
The blister bug apparently does not in
jure the kingbird, however, for bugs
were found in no less than seventy of
the stomachs that were examined. An
other insect noted was the robberfly,
which is about three times the size of the
ordinary honeybee. This robber attacks

Early in April the Department OF Att
culture will have ready for distributor
a new bulletin upon birds that Will nave
an important bearing upon the mucn-ois-
cussed Mclean bird protection bill. winch
was finally included In the bill making
the appropriations for the Department OF
Agriculture and. as such, approved Marcn
4 and signed by President Taft as one
of his last official acts. The bulletin Will
be profusely illustrated, picturing WILD
geese, wild swans, snipe. plover, WOOD
cock, brant. wild pigeons and other NIL
gratory and insectiver0us birds which
henceforth are to receive protection from
the federal government under regulations
to be formulated by the Department Of
Agriculture. -
The bill proposed by Senator Mclean Of
Connecticut, together with those present
ed to the House by Representatives Weeks
OF Massachusetts, and Anthony OF Kan
sas, is based upon the fact that the lack
OF uniform bird protective Legislation
throughout the country is responsible for
the enormous decrease and even the
threatened extinction Of many species OF
birds that make migratory PASSAGES north
and south each year. It is OF no use
for one state to pass protective laws SO
long as in another state, possibly even
during the mating and Matching season.
there is no law protecting that same bird.
The passing Of a federal law upon this
subject was opposed by many who con-
slider it an infringement upon states
rights to give the federal government
Jurisdiction over matter which. some
claim, should rest entirely with the in
dividual states. A number Of decisions
of different courts are to the effect that
the migratory and wild game birds be-
long to the whole nation and not to the
citizens of any state through which they
may chance to pass. and it is these de-
cisions which constitute the recognized
authority for the new bill.
