Preserve Wild Life

Crows and blackbirds are useiur
also they do some damage. In this
respect they resemble human beings.
On my farm there was a crows roost
and the crows kept up cheerful chat
ter every day in the year, but were
never molested.
do not seem fully to agree as TO
whether these birds do more good than
harm, but am inclined TO give them
the benefit c: the doubt. I have seen
the evidence OF their value in destroy
ing grubs that, as they say down
South, were powerful destructive
causing severe damage to crops.
We are too prone to kill first and
consider afterward. 1t is much easier
to destroy than TO construct. l know
the great value of the woodpeckers,
and also know they have been killed
for no purpose by boys with rifles and
gunners who had no use for them.
Now farmers and fruit growers suffer
in consequence.
The question is frequently asked as
to the value Of crows and blaCkbirds.
I have stood in the fields and seen
these birds damage crops, but we man
aged to drive them away. They caused
some loss and some annoyance, but
believe in wild life and like TO see wild
animals about the place. Country peo
pie respect my desire, but city chaps
feel privileged to go anywhere and
shoot any wild animal they see, tramp
ing over fields and growing crops,
causing quite as much damage as the
wild animals, whose acquaintance !
try TO cultivate.
When this question comes up Il re-
minds me OF the man who had no
children but kept two generally well
behaved dogs. Occasionally the human
instinct in the dogs would develop to
such an extent that they would go off
on a frollc. On one such occurrence
a nelghbor who had a flock of unruly
but good natured children, called on
the owner OF the dogs and complained
that they had run over his yard, and
unless the owner kept the animals
home the neighbor proposed TO shoot
them both.
The dog owner asked If the rule was
one that would work both ways. Your
children" he said run over my gar
den almost daily. take vegetables,
climb my apple trees and eat and de-
stroy considerable quantities OF fruit.
Do you want me to shoot them unless
you keep them home?"
Tolerance is a trait worthy OF cultl-
walton. We all have our shortcomings
and should deal with others with con-
sideration.
Crows and blackbirds do some mis-
chief, no doubt, but are we justified in
killing on this account, or rather TO
get out of them what good we can?
In some instances where the birds
are so numerous as to likely ruin a
