It was Just as was about to inquire

an evolution of the old velocipede car,
foot and hand-driven and used by road
masters and other railroad men for
making quick trips over short as

In half a minute the little car rat
tied up to the station and made a
quick stop, the two men setting the
brakes and hopping off to dodge Into

Birds" Some Illustrations Of what
the birds have done are cited by the
department, as follows:
On one Utah farm infested by the
alfalfa weevil, English sparrows alone
In one season fed to their young, It
is estimated, 5OO,OO0,OOO Of the pests,
making them about one-third Of the
diet of the growing birds. Sixty-six
kinds Of birds feed on the cotton-ball
weevil, the greatest featbered enemy
of this pest being the orchard oriole.
A single stomach Of this kind Of bird
contained, upon examination, Al boil
weevils. The green bug or wheat aphis
also-but let the department tell the
story:
ION 2OOacre farm In North Caro-
lima, where wheat, rye and oats were
severely attacked by green bugs, it
was found that the birds were very eff
fective in destroying the pests. The
outbreak was at its height during the
migration season Of such birds as the
goldflnch and the yesper and chipping
sparrows, which, with other species on
the farm, numbered more than 5000
individuals. It was found that these
birds were destroying green bugs at
the rate of nearly 100000 day, and
on days when additional flocks Of mi
grants were present this destruction
was doubled. During the season such
numbers of birds 1ocked to the grain
fields that the aphis infestation was
reduced by an incalculable number"
Hardly an agricultural pest exists,
the department states, but has numer
Gus effective bird enemies. For In
stance, Is kinds Of Birds are known to
feed upon the clover weevn and a like
number on the potato beetle, SO on
the codling moth, 43 on the gypsy
moth, 40 on horsetlies. CT on billbugs,
IS on clover-root borers, 90 on cut
worms, 100 on leaf hoppers, and 1GS on
wireWorms.
"a classic instance of the concentra-
ton of bird attack upon an army Of
insect INVADERS the department says,
occurred during the severe outbreaks
Of the Rocky mountain locusts be-
tween 1865 and 1877. So numerous
were these voracious pests that many
places visited by them were denuded
of every green thing. A thorough In
vestigation was made Of the relation
Of birds to the outbreak, and 1T was
found that practically every species,
from the largest birds Of prey to the
! ttn1est humming birds, from ducks and
other aquatic fowl to typical bird den
liens Of the dry plains, turned to feed
ing upon locusts. In fact, most birds
gorged themselves with this abundant
supply Of food, and in doing so were
the means, in numerous cases, Of saw
