THE VALrE OF BIRDS
Without Them Insects Would Soon
Transform World Into Desert Waste.
Seven years without birds, it L
said, would mean the annihilation of
the human race. Insects are manta
worst foe. There are more than 300,-
000 different sorts of insects known,
and tens of thousands more at pres-
ent unclassified. All these live upon
vegetable and animal substances.
Just one of them. the gypsy moth,
multiplies so quickly that if uncheck-
ed it would, within eight to ten years,
destr y all the vegetation !n North
America,
The potato bug, or Colorado beetle,
increases so fast that within a single
season one pair will become sixty mil-
lions. Birds are the only creatures
that keep these two plagues in check.
Potatoes, 'which form a fifth of the
food of the white man, would cease to
exist If there were no birds.
We talk of a greedy person as hav-
ing
awing the appetite of a pig and a dainty
one as pecking like a bird. What non-
sense! The bird has the highest tem-
perature and the fiercest appetite of
any living thing, and the amount it
eats is almost beyond belief.
A scientific man weighed a canary
and found .that itsweight was 247
grains, just over haLf an ounce. He
weighed all its food, and found that
It ate thirty-two times its weight in
a month, or rather more than its own
weight each day.
TOBACCO FED TO SHEEP.
Mixed With Salt and 'Used to Destroy
Parasites.
Since Ralph Lane, Governor of
Virginia (about 365 years ago), in-
troduced tobacco into ]England, the
'ase of the weed has grown in popu-
larity. Now sheep in Canada have
been introduced to "My Lady Nico-
tine." A recent bulletin issued by
the Canadian Government Depart
ment of Agricuture states: "Losses
from unthriftiness due to internal
parasites in sheep may be reduced by
the feeding of tobacco to the flock
The tobacco is given with salt in the
proportion of ten pounds of salt tc
one of croehed tobacco leaf. The leaf
should be dried so that it may be
broken up in a size equal to wheat
bran. This when mixed with the
salt, slightly moistened, forms a rake
which the sheep will lick when plac-
ed before them in the field or pen.
This recommendation is made by Dr.
Lionel Stevenson.
