The notable increase of noxious ro-

consequent damage to crops are due In

tempts men to use them for targets,
and this inexcusable practice is seri-
ously diminishing their numbers,
which is deplorable, since no birds are
more useful. This species makes no
nest, but lays its two spotted eggs on
the bare ground, sometimes on the
gravel roof of the city house. The
nighthawk is voracious feeder and is
almost exclusively insectivorous. Some
stomachs contain from 30 to so DIFF
ferent kinds Of insects, and more than
600 kinds have been identified from
stomachs examined by experts. From
500 to 1000 ants are often found In a
stomach. Several species of mosQui-
toes, including the transmitter of
malaria, are eaten. Other well-known
pests destroyed by the nighthawk are
the Colorado potato beetle, cucumber
beetles, chestnut. rice, clover-leaf and
cotton-boll weevils, billbugs, bark bee
ties, squash bugs and moths of the cot
