wrote has been secured for Cosmo

Hic Cat Average- Two Bird- a Daj
and Tw»» Mice.
Had the t#vo birds lived thev
would have eaten many bushels of
weed seeds, many thousands of al
falfa weevils, corn worms, beetle.',
caterpillars, spiders. grasshopper
and other insects.
A fdw years ago. corn was plant
ed in two large cages that had been
built for experimental purposes.
Each was of equal fertility. One
cage was of too small mesh for
birds to enter and eat the pests. In
that cage the yield of rorn was two-
tffinls as much as the other, and
the yield of the bay and peas cn
vines planted between the TteWs vjas
one-eighth less. ^ ^
The other cage bad a pair each of

As for the mice the cats catch,
it is well to be rid of the mice, but
traps and poisons will do the work
if given ordinary rare. Certainly
mice do not destroy as much as
birds save We see what the mite
eat but not what the birds save
