Phone 151J W. J. RUST, Manager I Tho destruction of great numbors , of native birds which aro the natural enemies of Insects has at last aroused i the law makers. Tho fight Is now I bolng waged In congress by bird lov i ors, scientists and farmers on the one nnnii nnu me millinery interests of uw i oik, uosion ana l'liiiadeiphla OH tbn otlnr hntut Tho point at Usue is tho passtfgo of u provision in mo Tarirr Act, which prohibits the Importation or "nlg rotes" and tho plumngo of other vlld birds Into this country, except .os trich plumes and tho feathers of do mestic fowlB. Tho Ways and Means committee has reported favorably On this section of tho Tariff Act, but the wholesale milliners havo combined f.tlll dm Itllhlir fivnrv nftnrt In ilAfitnl It Tlio trado In plumago of nntlvo uiniH is now nicgai in some states, but not In others. As 'long as the government permits the importation of goods which nrc contraband In cer tain states, it Is practically Impos sible to prevent the use and sale in others. "If our school children, teachers and bird lovers will wrlto Immediate ly to their senators and congressmen asking them for their nsslstanco In the passage of this mensurc, wo can at one stroke accomplish ono of the greatest steps In wild bird protec tion that has ever been taken. We ran suvo untold numbers of our song, insectivorous and plume birds from one end of tho nation to tho other," said .Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, Secretary of tho National Association of Audu bon Societies. "Tho demand for plumage of wild bl-ds for millinery purposes during tho past twenty-five years lias grown to enormous proportions. In an ef fort to supply the markets, our woods, fields and soa coasts have been combed systematically by plumo hunters to get bird wings and breasts to uso in tho millinery trade. Many varieties of birds are In tho best plumage during the breeding season and they aro killed at this time and the young are left In the nest to die of starvation." "The investigations of tho Iliologl cnl Survey of the Department of Ak- riculture shows that tho greater num ber of our wild birds aro of benefit In protecting crops," continued Mr. Pearson. "This light Is clear-cut and we believe tho farmers, fruit-growers and others throughout the country will rniso their voices against tho mll- llnery trust which seekB to depopu late the bird world."

Tho other was ueiu at tne Missouri Stato Poultry Ex periment Station, Mountain Grove, Mo., whero COG hens contested. Fol lowing Is an extract: "Tho champion laying hen liVtho Missouri contest was 'Lady Showyou,' a White Plymouth Rock hailing frdm Illinois. This hen laid 281 eggs dur ing the year. She lacked but one egg or equalling tho best oHleinl rec ord made In this country, which was 282 eggs lnld by u H.arred Rock at Guclph, Canada. Lady Showyou's eggs averaged n littlo over two ounces each, a total weight or 35 pounds ror her year's production. "The heaviest layer In tho Con necticut contest was a S. C. Rhode Island Red. Sho produced 2G4 eggs which weighed 32 pounds. ''There were 41 lions In tho Con necticut contest that laid over 200 eggs each during tho year, the average of theso high producers being 223 eggs per hen. One hen out of twelvo entered In both contests laid over 200 eggs. In tho Missouri con test tho average for 59 hens laying over 200 eggs was 215 eggs per hen. "Tho CCS hens in the Missouri con test laid an overago of 134 eggs per hen. Tho 490 in tho Connecticut contest laid nn average of 153 eggs per hen. The contesting hens came from nearly every section of the country from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, from tho Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, also many hens from England were In the Connecticut con test. "Tho Australians aro in advance of the breeders or this country in breed ing ror cgg-productlon. The lead ing pen in tho Connecticut contest av eraged 214 per hen, nnd In tho Mis souri contest 208 eggs per hen,, but tho leading pen in the Australian con test, which recently closed, averaged 250 eggs per hen. Also, In tho same Australian contest, 3C0 hens gathered from. CO different breeders miulo un average of nearly 200 eggs per hen for tho cntlro 3C0. Hut they havo been conducting theso contests In that country for ten years or longer, and tho people havo been educated to breed for egg production, The av erage farm hen does not lay more than 80 eggs per year at prcBont, If wo can raise tho average to oven 150 or 100 eggs per hen, we can double or treble the profit in poultry to thosj engaged in tho business."

It's not safe to bet that the win ter Is over till the hens go to sot ting and horses shed hair, till bees are a-huzzlug around In tho clover, nnd riles are so thick that they make rather swear.
