Value OF Birds.
(TIarrodsburg HeraldD

C1arrodsburg Herald)
We are told that in Washington
county in one day last week a party
OF hunters bagged l04 quail. We
know that it is great sport hunting and
that it is enjoyed by many people. but
il the slayers of the birds and the
land owners would put on their think
ing caps we believe this destruction in
the bird kingdom would be lessened.
In Mercer county both birds and rab-
bits are reported very scarce, yet many
have been killed, and this will cut the
output next year very materially We
give for the consideration of hunters
and. land owners what Mr.. G. o.
Shields, president of the League of
American Sportsmen, said in an adj
dress in Chicago last week He de-
clared that the destruction of birds
cost agriculture and other enterprises
a billion dollars year. This estimate
if of course conjectural, but there is
no denying that wholesale bird killing
is highly expensive practice.
Mr.. Shields related that a quail kill
ed in Ohio had in it's craw 1900 cinch
bugs. Another quail killed in Kansas
was found to contain 1000 Hessian
flies, a destructive pest These birds
had prevented the propagation of
countless millions of insects.
This is rather graphic proof of the
practical value of a single bird, es-
pecially when it is remembered that
these insects were meals for a single
day for the birds.
The farmers are fond of saying that
the chief enemies of the bird are city
men who make frequent pilgrimages
into the fields But If the birds killed
in year by city men and by farmers
were laid side by side, it would prob
ably be found that the rural shooter
had by far the heavier score. The next
time you 20 hunting pause and think.
