WHAT IS A ROBIN?

Is it a Game Bird, or a Valuable Insectivorous

Bird?-To Kill or to Protect, that

is the Question.

Is the robin a game bird that should bekilled and eaten, or is it a valuable insec-tivorous bird that should be protected atall seasons?

This is a question which the next gen-eral assembly will have to solve, and ourreaders are asked to consider its import-ance in an agricultural way.

Dr. T. S. Palmer, in charge of the gameconservation division of the biologicalsurvey of the department of agriculture,in answer to inquiries from Frank M. Mil-ler, of the Louisiana Game Commission,quotes an authority who gives the resultsof his observations at Abbeville, La.,under date of February of this year, asfollows:

"I collected 12 robins near here todayand got the following results from anexamination of their gizzards: 8 had eatennothing but insects; the other four hadtaken respectively 95, 80, 65 and 0 percent of insects and other invertebrates.The insects include grasshoppers, bugs,beetles, beetle larvae (wire worms andothers), caterpillars, including cutworms.On the basis of the 18 stomachs I haveexamined this month, I consider the robinessentially an insectivorous bird in Lou-isiana in February.

"The shooting of so beneficial a birdshould by no means be allowed."

The same authority above quoted underdate of Feb. 12, from Long Bridge, La.,wrote Dr. Palmer:

"I shot six robins today: 4 in a hack-berry tree and 2 on the ground. Three ofthese six birds had eaten insects, includ-ing larvae of crane flies which are some-times known as leather jackets. Theselarvae feed on the roots or grasses, in-cluding grain crops and other plants, andare sometimes quite'tnjurious. Each ofthe three birds had eaten one or morespecimens of a leaf beetle, a plant feederand injurious."

These facts bearing the stamp of thefederal government through a conserva-tion worker as widely known as .Dr. Pal-iner are entitled to'serious considerationby the farmers and planters of the state.

ANTS AS WEuA ROPHETS.

i Mgthp of .. ,: Warning' f

testimony to i eI-verness ofh•ese small insects.

When you go out on a spring morn-ing and find the ants busily engagedin clearing out their nests and drag-ging the sand and bits of earth to

the surface you may be sure that nomatter how cloudy it is there will

be no rain that day and the probabili-ties are for several days of goodweather.

If, however, you see the ants about

the middlesof a spring or summer af-

ternoon hurrying back to the nestand a sentinel trotting out in every di-rection looking up stragglers and urg-ing them to go home as soon as theycan get there, you may figure on arain that afternoon or night.

When the last of the wanderers is

found the picket hurries in and the

nest is securely sealed from the insideto keep out the water. It is seldomthat ants are taken by surprise by the

approach of a shower.

First American Paper Making.

The first attempt to manufacture

paper in the United States was made

in 1690 by William Rittenhouse and

William Bradford, who established a

paper mill at Roxborough, near Phila-

dellphia. The paper was made wholly

of linen rags. In 1710 William de Were

erected a second mill in Germantown,

an( a third, which was erected in 1714

on the Chester creek, furnished Ben-

jamin Franklin with paper. By 1810

the number of paper mills in the Uni-

ted States was estimated at 185, near-

ly every state possessing one or

more. In 1890 there were nearly 700 of

these mills, manufacturing printing,

writing and wrapping paper, with a

capital of $97,000,000. The manufac-

ture of straw pulp for paper manufac-

turing was introduced in 1854, and of

wood pulp in 1857. The census of 1900

shows 763 paper-making establish-

ments, with a capital of $167,507,713,

and the value of the product $127,268,

162.

NO UNDESIRABLE WOMEN.

Mrs. (;abrielle Stewart Mulliner

of New Yo~rk told the leiislators at

Allany tihat if the constitution was

so arnhintl i as to read "all citizens,"

instead of all "'inale citizens," two

classees of women would vote, those

who are born Americans and those

.who have taken out papers of citi-

Szenship, anl the "undesirable worn

o .'" would be eliminated.

Arabs Outlive Eskimo.While it may be true that the white

man loses in intellectual and bodilypower in the tropics, Dr. Luigi Sambonmaintains. as a result of recent re-searches, that the average Arab lives25 years longer than the average Us-kin:me; that the coast people of SouthAmerica are longer lived than themountain people; that old age is muchcommoner in the southern countries ofEurope than in the northern countries,and that Spain (with a populationsmaller by 9,000,000) has 401 cente-narians to England's 146.
