mented the fact that he could not find more spe-
cies of the little mammals than he did in the
White House yard. l always have thought that
the reason was to be found back of the eagle on
the state department front. The two sparrow
hawks kept the lawns pretty well clear of the
minor rodents.
The marsh hawk, Circus hudsonius, is one of the
most beautiful birds of prey in the United States
and one of the most useful. The adult male has
a blush slate body, streaked with white, and be-
coming pure white Just above the tail and under
meath, The underparts are lightly specked with
reddish brown. The adult female and the young
are rusty in color, with a good many streaks.
Marsh hawks, as their name suggests, haunt the
wet places, but frequently they are seen flying low
over the dry fields and the prairies, Perhaps one
cannot do better than to quote Vernon Bailey on
the subject Of the marsh hawk. He writes:
"The intelligent farmer usually recognizes the
value of this hawk and the fact that it almost
never touches his poultry. He sees it skimming
over his meadows and diving into the grass for
mice, and wisely lets its live; but nevertheless he
would be surprised If he could figure out how
many dollars it saves him during the year"
It is virtually impossible within the scope of a
comparatively short article to give anything like
a full list with descriptions of all the beneficial
hawks in the United States. They form a feath-
cred legion. Let us, however, take one or more

course. The Swanson hawk, Buteo swainsoni, is
distributed from the far arctic regions way south
ward to the Argentine Republic. In the United
States, it is fairly common from the western
ocean to Wisconsin and Illinois, and occasionally
it is found in the East.
Major Bendire, the army ornithologist, wrote Of
this hawk, which he studied for a long time:
The food of Swainson's hawk consists almost
entirely of the smaller rodents, principally striped
gophers and mice, as well as grasshoppers and the
large black cricket which is very common, as
well as destructive, in certain seasons, and the
bane of the farmers in eastern Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, Nevada, and other localities in the
Great Basin, destroying and eating up every green
thing as they move along. | cannot recall a sin
gle instance where one of these birds visited a
poultry yard. From an economic point of view |
consider it by far the most useful and beneficial
Of all our hawks"
Now for something about a few Of our bene-
fetal owls. Everybody knows, or ought to know,

tufts of feathers which serve to distinguish 1t
from a less common but very much similar owl
of which something will be written further on. Of
owls which are not described here at length,
among the most useful are the barred owl,
the long-eared and the short-eared owls.
The screech owl is one Of the best mousers in
the world. 1t also is a great destroyer of insects.
1t starts its hunting about sunset and it journeys
round and round the buildings in the country
looking for it's favorite quarry, 1t kills thousands
upon thousands of mice every year. DR.. A. X.
Fisher, the governments expert in all matters per-
tanning to hawks and owls, says OF the little
screech owls that their economic relations are OF
the greatest Importance, particularly on account
of the abundance of the species in farming dis
tricts; and whoever destroys them through ignor-
ance or prejudice should be severely condemned"
1t was the barn owl, or a species closely allied
to it, of which Gray wrote in his "Elegy," the
moping owl doth to the moon complain" Some
times the barn owl is called the monkey-faced owl
because it's countenance does look a tribe like that
of the monkey. In recent years the barn owls
have been decreasing in numbers because of the
mistaken belief that they kill poultry. The
trouble is that barn owls frequently live in barns
or in other structures reared by man, and because
they are seen therefore about the poultry
yards frequently the impression is given that they
are chicken thieves. The barn owl, however, is
one of the most beneficial Of all our rapacious
birds. 1t dearly loves rats and mice, and one barn
owl is worth a dozen cats as a ratter and mouser.
There is a little owl commonly called the saw
whet," which is an interesting and beneficial crea'
ture. At first glance one might think that the
saw-whet owl is a screeeh owl, but on taking a
second look it will be seen that the saw-whet
lacks the ear tufts or feathered horns that are
worn by it's little cousin.
The saw-whet owl gets it's name from the fact
that it's note sounds like the whetting of a saw.
1t can be readily understood, therefore, that this
bird is not much of a musician. 1t is a great
mouser, and like most of the other owls, seems to
prefer these small rodents to almost any other
article of diet.
The saw-whet owl raises a large family each
year. 1t keeps the father and mother exceedingly
busy to get enough mice to feed the offspring, but
they keep at the hunting work for hours at a
time and probably deny themselves many a mouse
morsel in order that the young may get enough
to eat.
1t is an easy matter for a person to get from the
government full knowledge OF the habits of the
beneficial hawks and owls Of the United States.
The biological survey of the department of agri-
culture has the records in the case, and it will be
glad enough to furnish information to persons
seeking it. Uncle Sam, wants to save most of
his hawks and owls.
Why not help him do it?
