vi all the enemies to birds the
house cat is the most destructive,
1t is estimated there are twenty
five million cats in the United States
but the Increasing value Of cat skins
for furs will aid in reducing the
menace to bird life.
Dogs are destructive to birds
also and destroy immense numbers
OF those that nest on or near the
grouud.
Hogs that are allowed to roam at
large destroy the nests, eggs and
young Of birds nesting on the
ground.
Bats destroy multitudes of birds
every year, attacking them at night
when they are not able to defend
themselves when we destroy the
rats we are doing much toward bird
protection. This is one way in which
our Bird Club members can assist
and protect the birds, by making
war on rats. Rats arc menace
not only to birds but to people as
we'll, and every year they destroy
millions Cf dollars worth of orr
foodstuif and other property.
the rats carry diseases and have
been the immediate cause of the
death of thousands of our people.
They travel from place to place
crrrylng disease, death and destruc-
ton everywhere.
The members OF our club can do
a great work toward protecting
bind life by getting rid of the rats.
Let us do all we can toward stamp
ing them out of existance. We will
be protecting our birds and our
own lives and property too. Let us
get busy and eradicate che rats
which create such havoc among our
birds.
