There are good birds and bad birds. The farmer must learn the difference. There is no nat- 1 ural agent that will serve the far ' mer so well as those birds that; live upon the insects which live upon the farmer’s crops. The farmer should ask. of the agricul tural department of each State a bulletin upon the habits of the different birds in that State The North Dakota Agricultural College reports that a pair of nesting wrens in one day took from a garden 600 insects. Ninety-eight per cent, of the food of the wren, says this re port. consisting of insects. In a single day a young robin ate, ac cording to this census, 165 cut worms. A redbreast consumes from 50 to 75 cut worms a day for a period of half a month. Three hundred and thirty robins were examined in the laboratory Forty-three per cent, of thei • food was animal matter, largel; insects, and 47 per cent. vvil< fruit. One chickadee had 45 plant lice, and ac darw xwiie ’■ stomach contained 100 tnke worms; that of a flicker, 10' chinch bugs.
