Tha NaiuA of Birds.

Without birds successful agriculture
would become impossible and the de-
struction of the greater part Of all veg
citation would take place. New York
state now pays an annual insect tax Of
$1O0OO,0OO, and birds are the chief
agents in keeping this tax from in
creasing yearly. AS consumers Of weed
seed single species, the tree sparrow,
is estimated to consume about 900 tons
in New York state each year The raw
ages Of field mice and other rodents
are kept in check by hawks and owls,
and the farmer upon whose land q
hawk or owl stays is saved upon an
average $40 year by each owl or
hawk. The damage done by some few
species Of birds to growing crops is
more than offset by the benefits of
their work In destroying insects, ro-
dents and weed seeds.-New York Sun.
