" impales upon thorns or sharp twigs.
It sometimes catches young birds
Though this is more characteristic of
the northern shrike, or brtdher bird,)
but its diet is chiefly insects and small
rodents. 1t is, therefore very valu-
able to the farmer
The golden-winged Eoodpecker
(also called flicker Fhighhole," etc)
is an industrious tree protector and
the most efficient Of all feathered amt
eaters. It is also feeds freely upon bee
ties, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpii-
lars, and other harmful insects, as we'll
as on weed seds. Yet 1t IS rapidly
growing rare because 1t is much
hunted for food It should be pro-
tected everywhere and at all times.
In view Of the decrease already ec-
compllshed in the general volume OF
bird life in America, In view Of the
enormous losses annually inflicted up
on the people Of this country by the
ravages Of insects, and in view Of the
destruction of wild life which is now
furiously proceeding throughout Amer
lea, the Mclean bill, which is now be-
fore congress, to provide for the fed
eral protection Of all migratory birds,
becomes the most important Wild life
measure that ever came before that
body. In view Of the annual economic
loss that will continue as long as a
federal migratory bird bill fails to
pass, 1t Is impossible for anyone to put
forth one good reason unless it be on
purely technical grounds against that
measure. The Weeks bin, before the
lower house Of congress, is precisely
like the Mclean bill, and 1t matters
not which one passes first.
Unless the people Of this country
wish to shut their eyes to their own
interests. and pay out millions Of dol
lars annually in the form Of increased
cost of living due to the losses caused
by insect pests which would be
destroyed by the birds, they should
demand that federal migratory bird
bill be at once enacted into a law 1t
is Senate Bill No. GAIT, and on the
senate calendar it is No. COG. We can
not afford to wait until 1914 or 1915,
