"Devourins Element"

The West of England is at war
The enemy is the wood-pigeon, which
has descended in whole battalions
upon the crops, AMI the farmers are
out on commando to defend their
acres. The handsome bird that gives
such pleasing touch of nature to the
London streets is a "devouring ele-
ment" of extraordinary violence. Ru-
raj opinion credits him with eating
his own weight in food every day. One
of the most bitterly resented exactions
of feudal times was the immortal
dovecote, for the lord of the manor
alone could keep pigeons or kill them,
and some Of the old round towers that
housed the piratical hordes are still
to be found In the English Midlands.
The pigeon is q wary roober and
wellproteoted one. We do not know
whether it is true that shot giances
of his breast feathers, as the country
people say, but the most successful
marksmen certainly make point Of
getting behind him. What special
cause has led to the unusual plague
in Devonshire does not seem to be
very clear. But we hope the farmers
and their friends will have good hunt
