Grave Charges Agalnlt The Cat.
There are not less than 25,000,000
cats in the United States, and a cat
census might prove the actual number
to be twice that, according to
Dr Frank Chapman of the American
Museum of Natural History.
One cat to every four inhabitants
is an amazing ratio. If true, it puts
pussy in a position of uncomfortable
prominence, thinks the New York
World, liable to the kind of scathing
indictment found in the current bulletin
of the American Game Protective
Association.
The greatest menace to the bird
life of today is probably the domestic
cat, the prosecution is prepared
to prove. Cats in Massachusetts kill
approximately 2,000,000 birds each
year. The farm cats of Illinois get
away with 2,500,000. And in the
State of New York the cat bill of fare
requires annually, it is estimated, at
least 3,500,000 birdlings.
Now birds eat bugs, which, if not
oofun thrive mio-Kitilv at thp PYnpnup
of fruit, field crops and forests. Fori
instance: a potato bug will produce j
fifty to sixty million in a season; the
green-leafed louse, so destructive to ;
hops, fruit and vegetables, reproduces

eight years.
Chinch bugs alone are said to have
| lowered the value of Mississippi Val|
leycrdps in one year by $100,000,000,
while the total annual loss attributed
to insect life in the United States is
estimated at 1,200,000,000.
Most of these destructive insects
and their larvae constitute the chief
food of scores of species of birds,
while other species include in their
diet numyous varieties of noxious
weed seeds.
Wherefore, in the interest of insect
and weed destroying birds, the
New York State Forest, Fish, and
Game League recently adopted a resolution
urgently requesting the Legislature
of New York to enact a comprehensive
law providing for th? licensing
of all valuable domestic cats,
and for the destruction of all unlicensed
cats by thorough and effective
methods.
When we think of those ten sextillion
progeny of a green-leafed louse
that might never happen if there
were une less cat cwiu uuc muic un u,
will and man deny that 25,000,000
cats may be too many?

! The Atlantic Coast Line railroad is 1 Er
| busily engaged now handling fertil-1
izer, the shipping season having begun
the latter part of last month. \y
According to the railroad statistics, G<
100 per cent more fertilizer has been "i
p,
hauled since February 1 of this year ^
than during the same time last year.
It isexpected that the total amount 1
this season will be three times as W
much as that of last year. The sea- G<

son begins the latter part of Janua
rv and continues till about the end j
of March. j R(
The cause of the increase of ma-!
terial hauled is attributed to the an- j W

their fields with cotton, the price of! g
