- HE only thing that saves man
kind from utter destruction BY
insects is the protection sf-
forded by birds. according to James
auckland. the famous English scien-
fist. who has just completed an ex-
haustive study OF the value OF birds
to man
Nature has created more insect
species than all other species COM
bined. and mankind would fall a
speedy victim to their voracity but
for the check she provides in the
shape of bird life. When, by interior
ing with bird life, insects are allowed
TO increase beyond the proportion
planned by nature. Mr.. auckland
points out, great agricultural disaster
invariably follows. Man cannot thus
interfere with natures plan with i'm
punity. Bird life, by reason OF its
predomiuating insect diet, is the most
indispensable balancing force In ma
ture.
The wholesale destruction OF birds
by sportsmen. plume hunters and
misguided farmers is, therefore, a
very serious proposition-much more
serious than the average Individual is
likely 10 imagine. The protection OF
bird life is not merely a matter of
humane sentiment, but one of prac-
teal economical Importance.
In a ve-y interesting manner Mr..
auckland discusses all the various
phases of the bird question. His
paper. which has been recently pub
lished by the Smithsonian Institution
is in part as follows:
Some years ago the agrlculturists
Of Hungary. moved TO the insane step
by Ignorance and prejudice, succeed ed
In getting the sparrow doomed 10 de-
struction. Within five years the coun-
try was overrun with insects, and
these same men were crying franti-
cally for the bird to be given back to
them. lest they should perish. The
sparrow was brought back, and, driv-
ing out the hordes of devastating in
sects, proved the salvation Of the
country.
For some years prior TO 1877 vast
numbers of red-winged blackbirds
were poisoned in the Spring and Au-
tumn around the cornhelds OF Ne
that the blackbirds were damaging
the crops, especially the wheat. Great
numbers of prairie chicken, quail
plover and various other insect-eat-
ing species were destroyed at the
same time by eating the poisoned
grain. Then came 1877, and with IL
Nemesis. The locusts appeared in
countless numbers. There were no
birds TO eat them. and Nebraska
mourned.

Utah. their crops were destroyed ut

OUR FOOL FRIENDS.

If the solid friends of the Republi-
can party actually desire to serve the
best interests of the country, they will
cease to give credence to newspaper
stories that Theodore Roosevelt may"
or might" or possibly will be can
didate before the next Republican con-
vention.
There is no question what he will
do-he is perpetual candidate.
But why all this bombast? The
men who go to the convention are not
going to nominate anyone who is a
known liability, and take chances on
electing him. True, he might carry
his party to victory: but any other
prominently mentioned candidate
would be assured of victory.
The idea, however, of papers contin-
ually stirring up his aspirations is
ridiculous. This in the same process
by which Milwaukee was given a
Socialist mayor-his majority being
fully 5000 more than the total mem
bership in the party. Papers in Mil
waukee devoted hundreds of columns
telling of Socialist schemes and de-
sires, the sum total of which was to

When sheep have been once highly

injured, or even killed. However, if
the owner is careful feeder, he does
not sacrifice as many of his animals by

he understands reducing their flesh,
as well as putting 1t on. Reducing
show sheep in flesh is accomplished
chiefly by cutting down their feed
very gradually and being sure that
they obtain an abundance of outdoor

COMPARISON IN MEMS FAVOR
Is Far Less Conventional
Than the Male.

The reader may differ from me, but
l believe that woman is much less
conventional than man, writes w. L..
George in the Atlantic Monthly. She
does all the conventional things and
attacks other women savagely for
breaches of convention. But you will
generally find that where man may
with impunity break a convention he
will not do so, while, if secrecy is
guaranteed, a woman will please her.
self first and repent only if necessary.
1t follows that a man is conven-
tional because he respects convention;
woman conventional because she is
afraid of what may happen if she does
not obey convention. / submit that
this shows greater degree of conven-
tionality in man.
