English Sparrow Useful.

In regard to the English sparrow as being destructive to locusts a Medora (Ill.) letter says that thirteen year locusts have appeared In large numbers In Macoupin county, in the woodlands, and fears are expressed that they may damage crops. The discovery has been made, however, that the English sparrow, condemned as one of the farmer’s worst enemies. Is an avowed enemy of the locust, against which It Is waging war and !s killing them by the thousands.—Country Gentleman.
