BEST EVIDENCE.

Hughes of being pro-German.
1.-THE Fatherland," the organ of
those who would have the United
States violate its neutrality for Ger
many's benefit, asks Mr.. Hughes ten
questions which are designed to carry
the accusation that he is pro-British.
These directly conflicting charges
against him will be regarded as the
best evidence that he is just plain
American, without bias toward either

In n case they were seen to eat free

fruit raiser began to pillow his orchard
almost every blackbird in the vicinity
was upon the newly opened ground
and close at the plowman's heels in it's
eagerness to get the insects exposed
by the pillow. Caterpillars and pupae
form the largest item of animal food
(about IL per cent?. Many of these
are cutworms, and cotton bollworms
or corn earworms were found in ten
stomachs and codling-moth pupae in

cent of the food. The vegetable food
is practically contained in three items
grain, fruit, and weed seeds. Grain,
mostly oats, amounts to "a per cent;
fruit, largely cherries, 4 per cent; and
weed seeds, not quite 9 per cent. The
grain is probably mostly wild, vol
unteer, or waste, SO that the bird does
most damage by eating fruit.

Length, about eight inches. Our
smallest owl with ear tufts. There
are two distinct phases of plumage,
one grayish and the other bright
rufous.
Range: Resident throughout the
United States, southern Canada, and
northern Mexico.
Habits and economic status: The
little screech owl inhabits orchards,
groves, and thickets, and hunts for its
prey in such places as well as along
hedgerows and in the open. During
warm spells In winter it forages quite
extensively and stores up in some hol-
low tree considerable quantities Of
food for use during Indictment weather.
Such larders frequently contain
enough mice or other prey to bridge
owe q period of a week or more.
With the exception of the burrowing
owl 1t is probably the most %insectivor-
Gus of the nocturnal birds Of prey.
1t feeds also upon small mammals.
birds, reptiles, batrachians, fish, spid-
ers, craw1sh, scorpions, and earth
worms. Grasshoppers, crickets, ground
dwelling beetles, and caterpillars are
it's favorites among insects, as are
field mice among mammals and spar
rows among birds. Out Of 1924 stom-
achs examined, 1853 were found to con-
tain insects; 142, small mammals; Sc,
birds, and Is, crawfish. The screech
owl should be encouraged to stay near
barns and o%uthouses, as it will keep
in check house mice and wood mice,
which frequent such places.
