New York.-Another effort Is being
made TO secure liberty for Foulke E.

burglarizing the home Of Mortimer L.

Because of the peculiar circum.
stances under which Brandt was con.

case attracted wide attention at that
time. He was found in Schiff's home.
He was arrested. He was tod by

An old Indiana justice Of the peace

there were no birds, they would
have right to think this, for the
number of weeds and harmful in
sects would be much greater.
If farmer takes "old Duke"and
his double barrel" out for quail
hunt and kills three pairs of quails,
he thinks he has had pretty good
luck; and is rather proud of his
ability to kill quails. But he has
lost mlrrh more than he has gain
ed. 1t has been estimated by good
authority that one quail will, in the
course of year, eat 25c worth of
grain, and destroy $500 worth of
harmful insects and weed seed.
Then, one quail will do $1.75 worth
OF good in one year. The average
pair of quails will raise a brood of
twelve each year. The three pairs
with their three broods would be
forty-two quails, in all. If one
quail will do $1,75 worth OF good,
then, forty-two quails would do
forty-two times $1.75, or $3.50,
worth of good. SO, when farmer
goes hunting and kills three pairs
OF quails, he has actually taken
$3.50, in round dollars and cents
out OF his pocket. This loss is
only for one year, not counting the
several years of these quails' lives
and not counting the broods that
/ would be raised by them.
Even though the duails are oil
such great value, they are thought
lessly and recklessly killed by the
farmers, and by sportsmen who come
i into the neighborhood from DIS
/ lance.
Now, the quail is not the only
bird that is of great value TO
farmers. There are many other birds
! that do as much or more good than
the quail. Even the hawk and crow
which everybody hates, are OF great
value.
Farmers should encourage birds
to stay on their farms, not to
have the fun OF killing them when
the hunting season comes, but thai
the birds may put actual money IL
their pockets. HURSTON NORRIS

The value of Birds to Farmers.

Birds are of very great value TO
farmers. Unfortunately many farm
ers do not realize this, and Kill the
poor little harmless creatures most
numerically. Many farmer never
realizes, as he sees the birds fit
ting from tree TO tree, what great
benefit they are to him. In fact he
does not want to realize their val
@Tte. All he wants is, to take odd
Duke" and his double barrel out
and kill mess of quail. He
does not realize that, every time
he kills quail, he is taking mon
ey, in actual dollars and cents, out
of his pocket.
Most farmers just look at one
side of the bird question. They
look at all the harm the birds do,
and never look at any good they do.
ASK an old farmer why he wants to
kill the birds, and his answer is
likely to be: well, the Internal
things destroy my stuff. The red
bird takes up my young corn; the
robin eats my cherries; the crow
robs my hens nests; the hawk catch
es my Chickens; the quail eats my
wheat; and almost all the birds
damage me in some way" This
farmer does not realize that the
harm done by these birds, is many
times offset by the good they do
1t has been said by great lee
turer on birds, who has studied the
birds of all countries, and who has
given lectures all over the United
States, that there is only one kind
of bird in this country that really
does more harm than it does good.
This bird is the well know English
sparrow. The principal harm done
+ by the English sparrow consists OF
the killing of other birds of great
value to the farmer.
Mr.. Beal, of the United States
Biological Survey, has estimated
that the tree sparrow in single
season in the state of Iowa ate l.
10000 pounds of weed seed. Think
how many weeds would have grown
from these seed, and think how
much it would have grown from
these seed, and think how much 1t
would have cost the Iowa farmers
to destroy the weeds.
Mr.. Chester A. Reed, of Massa-
chusetts, has made the estimation,
that on an average each bird will
eat daily for about five months in
the year, tfrom May to September,
inclusive, one hundred harmful in
sects. These insects would do very
great harm to the farmers crops,
were they not eaten by the birds.
Farmers may think they are an
noyed very much by weeds and
harmful insects, as it is; but II
