DO NOT KILL THEM. BIRDS THAT ARE REAL AIDS TO .FARMERS AND GARDENERS. The Harm They Do la Small Compared to the (kod They Aceompliah—the Mock Abutted Hawk and Owl Reader Valuable Service and l>o Slight Harm. "No decent person who knows the value o!t birds that sing, whether their notes be harsh or sweet voiced, will ever kill a singing bird, ” said a naturalist. "Thousands of birds that are of Inestimable value to the farmer as well as to the town dweller who grows fruit or keeps a garden are slaughtered ruthlessly every year. "The farmer, the gardener and the fruit grower should know more about tho bi rds that nest and 6ing and flit about their premises, for then they would defend and protect them and in time have them back in something like their old time numbers and variety. How often nowadays does one see the saucy, rich voioed, nervous little wren? A few years ago it was seen and heard everywhere, but it must be a favored locality that it visits now. Yet the little wren was a most ravenous devoured of the pestiferous and destructive cutworm of tho gardens and did great work toward lessening the damage done by the pest of the soil. The bright little bluebird clears the air and the ground of thousjuads of codim moths and cankerworms dnring a season. "The crow blackbird has no peace at the himds of man, yet a flock of them in a short time wall blear a newly planted field of all its hosts of destructive larva? that the plow turns up. The great Amer ican crow itself would do the same thing if it wasn’t for the inevitable man with a gun that just vtamte the crow to try it once. Neither the blackbird nor the crow cares as much for corn as it doas for grubs, and if farmers would scatter corn about their fields instead of putting up scarecrows and the like those misunderstood birds would never pull up a hill of his planting. The chances are ftuyhow that if the agriculturist will take the trouble to examine a hill of young com that he charges the crow with pulling up he will find that it was cut off by a grub of some kind, and that tho crow was simply mining far the

grub, not the corn. “The robin, it cannot be denied, is a sore trial to the man who has fruit trees and bushes, but if he could only J bring himself to stop and think how many thousands of ravaging insects that are the especial enemies of his trees and bus bos that the robin destroys, both before the fruit has ripened and for weeks after it is gone, he would not begrudge the bird the few quarts of cherries or berries that it levies on as partial satisfaction of the debt the grower owes him. The same may be said of the other thrushes—for the robin is a thrush— the cherry birds, orioles, blue jays and many other birds of that class. These birds never levy tribute on grain or seeds, but thqy do the farmer untold benefit “The climbing birds are the different varieties of woodpeckers, and they are constantly befriending growing things. Whenever a woodpecker is hoard tapping on a tree, it is tho deathknell of the larvie of some destructive insect Yet it is not an uncommon thing to see the very person for whom this bird is industriously at work following with his gun the bird’s red head from tree to tree until the opportunity comes for him to send a load of shot into the unsuspecting feathered philanthropist It is a pet belief among farmers that the Yr’oodpecker kills the tree it works on, end that he is working for that very purpose. It is a fact that the common little 6apsucker does injure trees, but the woodpecker never does. Quite the contrary. The white breasted nut hatch and the little gray creeper—so generally confounded with the sapsucker—live exclusively on tree inseots, yet the nut hatch is in bad repute among many farmers because they believe it kills their bees.

4‘The meadow lark is another bird that has little peace on any one’s land, for there is a mistaken notion abroad that he is a game bird. He is game in the quality of being alert and hard to get a shot at, but is no more entitled to be so classified than the flicker or highholder is. 'The meadow lark is a constant feeder on underground larva?, and whatever he is disturbed he is simply driven away from active work In ridding the ground of the worst kinds of farm pests. The blue jay may be said to be indirectly an enemy to the farmer as well as a friend, for it . has the bad habit of destroying the eggs of other birds that do only good. “If there is one bird that the farmer loves to do all in his power, to exterminate more than ho does the crow, unless it may be the hawk, that bird is the owl- He can’t be brought to the belief that if it were not for the owls and the hawks his fields would be overrun and burrowed by field mice such an extent that his crops would be in perpetual danger; that owls, while out piousing, feed on myriads of night flying moths and beetles, thus preventing the laying of millions upon millions of tfie eggs of these insects, and that they not only keep the fifeld mioe down, but lessen the number of domestio mioe and rats about barns and outhouses to an extent that a small army of the most vigilant oats could not surpass. As to the hawk, the farmer remembers that on some occasion one carried off a chicken for him, and therefore the fact that ! the big soaring bird daily kills many | field mice, grasshoppers, snakes, lizards, j beetles and other vermin cannot be set [ up in its defense. The proportion of | hawks or owls that kill chickens is i small compared with those who keep I down the deadly enemies of the farm>> [ er‘s (nope. ”—Exchange. There are three ordinary modes of execution in China—slicing to pieces, dec capitation and strangulation
