Whether bird is beneficial de-
ponds almost entirely on what it
eats, says the introduction to the
new bulletin. In the case of spe-
cles which are very abundant, or
which feed to some extent on the
crops Of the farmer, the question
of their average diet becomes one
OF supreme Importance, and only
by stomach examination can it be
satisfactorily solved. Field obser-
vations are at best but fragmen.
tary and inconclusive and lead to
no final results. Birds are often
accused of eating this or that
product of cultivation, when an
examination of the stomach shows
the accusation to be unfounded.
Accordingly, the Biological Sur
Ney has conducted for some years
past a systematic investigation Of
the food of those species which
are most common about the farm
and garden.
Within certain limits birds eat
kind Of food that is most Access
sible, especially when their natur-
al food is scare or wanting. Thus
they sometimes injure the crops
of the farmer who has uninten-
tentionally destroyed their natur-
al food in his improvement of
swamp or pasture. Most of the
damage done by birds and COM
planned of by farmers and fruit
growers arises from this very
cause. The berry-bearing shrubs
and seed-bearing weeds have been
cleared away, and the birds have
no recourse but to attack the Gull
tivated grain or fruit which have
replaced their natural food sup
ply. The great majority of land
birds subsist upon insects during
the period of nesting and moult-
ing, and also feed their young up
on them during the first few.
weeks. Many species live almost
entirely upon insects, taking We
getable food only when other sub
sistence fails 1t is thus evident
that in the course of year birds
destroy an lncalculable number
of insects. and it is difficult to
overestimate the value of their
services i'm restraining the great
tide of insect life.
In winter, i'm the northern part
of the country. insects become
scarce or entirely disappear.
Many species of birds, however.
remain during the cold season
and are able 60 maintain life by
eating vegetabl" food, us the seeds
OF weeds. Here again is another
useful function of birds in de-
stroying thes" weed seeds and
thereby lessening the growth Of
lie next year.
The new publication discusses
he food habits of more than 80
birds belonging to ~ families.
Many are eastern forms which are
represented in the west by slight
ly different species or subspecies,
but unless the food habits differ
they are not separately described.
Among the popular birds includ-
ed are the robin, blue bird, wren,
brown thrasher, catbird, bobolink,
orlole, crow, cuckoo, and the Am
erican sparrow.

It costs on an average $104.06 to

figures on those furnished by 10000

ARRESTED F0R
 MURDER 0F GIRL

Dodge City, Iowa, Oct. 2S-Jared Hansen, a farmer, his two sons and hired farm hand, have been ar rested on the charge of having mur- dered Nellie Byers, a young school teacher, whose naked body was found last saturday near the coun- try school where she had been teaching. The girl had been as saulted and then chOked to death.
 Detectives employed by the state believe they have the guilty parties, and have taken the prisoners into another county, fearing that an att tempt might be made to lynch the men. The scene of the murder showed that Miss Byers had made @ desperate fight for her life, as her clothing was scattered oyer a wide area near where the body was found.
 It is reported that some of the girls clothing has been found in tho Hansen home, and it is now believed that the girl was mur- dered there and the body left near the school, where 1t was later dis covered.

 PLACER CREEKS

Alaska should he due for a great season of mining development next year. 1Iuh prospecting work has been accomplished during the past summer, due in a great measure to the promise of early railroad trans portation, the opening of the coal fields, and the cheapening of fuel, These activities are outlined by AL fred II. Brooks, government geolo- gist, in charge of the division of Alaska mineral resources, in a re- cent report
 The area of placer mining is be- lieved to, have been extended by re- cent prospecting, Nearly six thous- and men are now engaged in placer mining, and it forms an important part of the industry of the terri tory. Cheaper fuel will stimulate the working of lower grade gravels, and Increase the output of the gold.
 Gold lode mining will also be stimulated by this seasons pros pecting. Capitalists are taking much interest in its possibilities, and there will be large sums of money invested next year in the Juneau, Valdez and the South Central Alas ka. The coming year should be a notable one, not only in mining, but iu every material activity. - Seattle P. I.
