Public sentiment towards birds is
changing. Their economic Importance
is realized more today than ever be-
fore. 1t is found that nearly all, Of
them have. some part in aiding the
farmer in his fight against insect
pests. 1t has been estimated that if
the birds were to fail to come back
some year it would mean a $500 ,COO,;-
600 loss to the farmers of this coun-
try. Crows, owls and hawks that were
formerly looked upon with enmity are
now given credit for being of some
use to mankind, and they are treated
with greater charity. We are finding
that we can afford to lose some corn
and a few chickens to pay for the ben
eft derived from the destruction of
mice bugs, worms and various insects
that attack and destroy our crops. o.
viously it is our duty to protect and
encourage the birds.

Old stump field, says Youths Compan-

hold upon the ground with a wide
spreading network of superficial roots
that clutch the soil like a gigantic,
many-fingered hand. Both stumps and
roots are therefore easily blown out
by shot or two Of dynamite. If they
are the stumps and roots Of any Of the
pine trees they are full of pitch and
