Among the farm ers’ best friends
are th e birds that visit his fields
and orchards. T h e good that they
do is not often appreciated. We
are certain to notice the loss of a
crop through insect |>csts: but
when the crop is good, it seldom
occurs to us to th in k th at it m ight
have been lost but for the good of
fices of friends or favorable coudi
tious.
Insect enemies are alm ost always
present iu sufficient num bers to do
considerable d am age if they are
not kept in check by their enemies.
O ne of the best regulators of in
sect life is the birds. In th e winter
m onths the trees are thoroughly
searched by chickadees w hich pick
up insect eggs an d tear open co
coons au d nests. These birds eat
seeds as well aud can be attracted
to the place by being fed hayseed,
suet an d other d ain ty bits.
Various memlters of the wood
pecker family are to be seen d u r
ing the winter. They are especi
ally fond of wood boring grubs,
ants, cocoons of various insects
an d eat insect eggs whenever they
are to be found. W hen we con
sider the num ber of these creatures
required for the m eal of a bird,
an d the power these have of tepro-
duciug them selves if left unde
stroyed, we can get some idea of
the benefit derived from this winter
w o rk .
T he larks are to be found in the
fields during the w inter. W hile
their food consists chiefly of weed
seed, an y insect which is unfortu
nate enough to expose itself is
likely to be pounced upon.
At th is season they search every
where for cutworms, which form a
large portion of their diet. C u t
worms are am ong the worst insect
enemies of the farm er They are
almost alw ays more or less »bund
ant an d do injury which does not
attract m uch attention because of
the sm all am ount, but w hich iu
the aggregate m ust be of consider
able im portance.
T he blackbirds often do very
great service eating the caterpillars
from field crops, especially near
the bodies of w ater w here these
birds m ake their homes. Sparrow
haw ks an d small owls are of dis
tinct value to the farm er. They
live chiefly on mice, an d gophers,
with a few sm all birds for a relish.
G reat harm is often done by the
indescrim iuate k illin g of these
birds.— A gricultural College.
