Black-headed and ro.e-l}t-eaated grosbeaks. (Upper figure, black-headed
grosbeaks, male and female; lower figure, roee-breaeted groebeaks, male
and female.)
Investigations Prove That This Breed
of Birds Destroy Many Pests and
Are Invaluable Friend of the
Farmer,
(By W. T. M'ATEJB, Assistant, Biological
Survey,, United State Department of
Agriculture.)
The grosbeaks take their name
from their big beaks, and they are
great eaters of Insects and slugs
which injure plants. Some objection
has been made to them on the e.core
that they eat seed grain, but where'
tt is drilled this objection does not
amount to much, as present-day plant
ers oover the grain effectually.
With grain under other condiUons
the damage done by the grosbeaks Is
much more than repaid by the in
sects they kill.
The rose-breasted and black-headed
grosbeaks eat peas, and the latter eat
green beans, also. Experience shows
that a scarecrow suffices to ward off
the rose-breast, but the black-head ap
pears less easily Intimidated. In lo
calities where the birds are abundant
bird netting used as a cover is ef
fective and is advised tor small
patohes.
Planting wild fruit Is Important for
the purpose of attracting birds. The
following are valuable: Dogwoods,
hollies, jumper, bayberry, Virginia
creeper, bludberrtes, blackberries and
wild grapes. Not all the thickets on
a farm should be removed, since they
'serve to harbor birds, to protect them
from enemies and to furnish nesting
sites. Where thickets are lacking,
the growth of artificial ones should be
encouraged, for they are very at-

tractive to grosbeaks, particularly to
the cardinal.
Standing grain may be Insured
against the attacks ot small birds by
planting a few rows of millet on the
edges of the field. Millet Is a prime
favorite with all grain-eating birds
and should be sown so as to ripen at
the time the grain is exposed to dam
age.
A permanent drinking and bathing
place on the farm and In the garden
Is to be numbered among the most
potent attractions for birds, and with
a little Ingenuity one can be prepared
In almost any locality. Winter feed
ing serves to attract the cardinal,
which relishes corn, sunflower and
other seed, and take kindly even to
table scraps. Unquestionably, If the
number of birds Is to be materially
Increased, measures must be taken to
dispose of roving cats. Grosbeaks are
usually able to defend themselves and
their nests against the English spar
row, but for the sake of other small
birds the numbers of this foreign pest
should be materially reduced.
Present indications prove that the
services of grosbeaks In destroying In
sect pests are Invaluable. Each kind
pays special attention to certain pests
-wlhch If unchecked would cause enor
mous loeees. Few of our birds are to
be credited with more good and with
fewer evil deeds than the grosbeaks,
and none more clearly deserve pro
tection by the practical farmer.

Corn Culture.
In th« cultivation of corn, after
planting, I use the weeder until
the plants are two or three inches
high, says a writer In an exchange;
then begin with the wheel cultivator,
using the plant shields, and cultivate
at least once a week until the plants
are about a foot high, then remove
the plant shields and cultivate again
and you will not Injure your core, but
will bury the weeds, and by ao doing
