i called the brown linnet yes i knew them andvtfielr habits tout not their college- given names and i am persuaded that todarrthere are many with their uni versity degrees who know their names but not their habits let me give you the natural methods of our wickedest hawks hunting system in their natural borne namely the virgin forest he darts through the woods at a height of about six or eight feet from the ground then noiselessly he shoots up at about a one oclock angle where he will perch on a limb as motionless as a statue about fifty feet from the ground thenin about ftvenor ten minutes he will come darting down at a five oclock angle creating speed and making no more noise than a dart and if any bird moves in front of him he is on tt like lightning when in the open field he travels high and i have seen a goshawk come dawn out of the air like a miniature aeroplane and the bobolinks and meadow larks powder and salt andjift again cut in da and hide in ihetailsrass and so as a boy living in the open 386 days in the year andpplease let me go back still further a child down in ohio hanging on to mothers hand strolling ibrough a httte jungle near our humble buckeye horns visiting as high as nine brown- thrasheraoccupled nests in prac tically that many minutes and then both spring and all back in the seventies watching the passenger pigeons not by the thousands but by the clouds then m the first year of my teens we moved here to the sunny side of canada where the woods and the few cleared fields were simply all aglow with birds i am absolutely sure i have seen as high as twenty-five- scarlet tanagers i called them red birds in sight at once and when the the red bird storm came as we called it along about may 20 i wish every naturalist of today could have followed me a few hours in the woods and he would have seen more warblers in an hour than i can find in a week right now and the long poverty hours of no hoys life could be made shorter and rioher than all these godgiven creatures did mine in fact i forgot all about my appearance long red hair and freckles and every sunday in the summer would find me in my little hiding places allow ing these creatures to come closer to me than i could get to them but of course orchard that lb may bear fruit for the rising generations the some argument re interfering with nature applies when you kill the typhoid fly godjjreated it tout he creat ed man to control it bo x aayas far as mils argument is concerned it is up to men to control the hawks why bless your fife he has even given us power to control niagara palls it is true the sparrow hawks chief living in the fall of the year is crickets and grasshoppers and i might say he la a good little mouse catcher but years ago when i raised pheasants and quail in captivity the first two or three weeks of these baby game birds life the sparrow hawk was one of my worst enemies in fact fbne sparrow hawk carried away ten little baby pheasants in ihree hours yes a great deal is said about the mousedestroying ability of the hawks and owls and in reply to this the little weasel is the biggest mouse destroyer wo have in america yet i knew one weasel to kill and carry awoy thirtythree baby pheasants hi one- night and pile them under mullein leaves etc next to the weasel there la nothing to equal tihe house cat for both the weasel and the house cat are natural mouse killers but the quicker they are burled side by side the better for tjhe song lnseotivorousand game birds but remember the hawks aro natural bird killers i did not know the scientific and latin name for them poriuustratlon i called the most plentiful i have ever seen ehortenlngantrc3sese7ddtiqui6rgraau oily until soft dough is formed roll 1 inch thick on slightly floured board cut with

ele vated position i have seen him pick an adult forkedtail3am swallow right cut of the air and go on as for game birds here in canada at that time very trup there were no mourning- doves worthy cf mention brr i have seen over one hundred and fifty bobwhite quail fly to the surrounding woods off of one settlers- partly cleared farm and ruffed grouse they were in the woods byi the hundreds in fact i am absolutely certain that taking all classes of song insectivorous and game brrdstnto coii sideratlon there were ninetyfive per cent more than there are today of course this includes the passenger pigeons that were here irt the early seventies but as far as the hawks and owls are concerned according to my ob servations they are as plentiful now as they ever were and before any of you contradict this statement let me ask you what has decreased them have the hunters gone out to kill them no but with halves of peaches recipe makes lol w hone out by the millions and to 12 servings combined our force with them and shot hawks was at point pelee yet in this same locality w had three men in one week owning young apple orchards come to my home and enquire how to poison mice here at my bird sanctuary where i am condemned for killing hawks there are practically no mice at all great how some men can give advice on running a bird sanctuary to raise birds and control them and possibly they had the blind down nearly the wfcolfe year to keep tihe sun from dazzling tneireyes mother always said an old maid could give you more free advice on how to raise a family than ten successful mothers if you have a hatching of several hundred pure bred choice chickens and puti them out and hawks start reducing your flock are you supposed to go in the house and read some government bul letin or other literature to find out whether this is a valuable nawkr nine days out of ten i say right here take expresrdent calvin coolidges advice when he said let every man do the duty closest to him or in other words take the gun and control him because when your chickens are gone he will only start at your neigh knowing the depredations of the middle size and smaller hawks as i do and have known all my life i am com pletely bewildeied to know why intel ligent men will advocate the stocking of a county with song insectivorous and garne birds and make stringent laws to punish even a child for molesting one of them and at the same time frame laws protecting hawks that eat these useful birds up alive one great excuse is that these hawks and owls kill mice let me ask jou this and cat a song uweotlvicroulweed seed eating bird eat it practically alive to me it is more cruel than a spanish bull llghii i read about which moans cither life or death to the bull or the fighter because the innocent bird has no fighting chance to read some letters that are darted at me one would believe i did not know an eagle from a gnat but nevertheless where is the man hi america who has watched and iculod more hawks and owls than i have tile last fiftyfive yearn and know for myself from all standpoints their relations and their depredations among all other birds and if some of the men who have written criticizing letters to mc would go- out in the fields and woods and investigate jtjr them selves i havo this much confidence in them that they would wrlto letters of apology i havo been opening hawks crops all njy life and have always known whnt they lived on but so many men claimed the sanctuary attracted the hawks that last september when hawks were migrat ing i went a quarter of a mile cast ot my sanctuary built a blind ctn a fence corner and used a- cage eight foot bquare with twentyfive to fifty bronze orackle crow black birds and cow birds for decoys and in the fall as the hawks in this locality migrate from east to tin west i got the hawks fully a quarter of a mile before they got to the sanctuary each night as the weather was warm i wculd pack them in common salt and express them to the- biological depart ment of the ontario royal museum at toronto ontario the- report sent back to me speaks for itself they were all killed by myself the 6wls i shot at night around the sanctuary all i wish to say is during september kill this many hawks yourself and do not take mine or the other fellows word for it the facts are i am giving tjhobalance of my life to the study of conservation and i know i have struck a plan to test put the good and bad hawks and if you men who are constantly writing offensive letters to me because of my stand against the hawks and crows are not j satisfied with tihls black bird decoy proposition next year i will use bobwhite quail and mourning doves for decoys i do not expect id shoot the three big clumsy variety of hawks for as i have said before while they will kill a few rabbits snakes etc i know they are not des tructive to our small and- liveable birds moreover i know mr redtall will kill crows and i know that the death of one crow means more live songsters western fair is going ahead rs are mice tire fa at- exhibits whic are al u fe of servings candied orange peel for flavoring use remove peel in

when an old friend came into the shop and bought a sixpenny cigar the customer noted that jv pocketed the money instead of vk kvuttmg it into the drawer vv a iwby not ring it up he asked you pfmjk getting it inyjjsfcjpl no forget it replied the scot vtj keep track in my head until i qrttte game birds right and left i do not know when the passenger pigeon started dying but in 1878 i do know they were dying by the hundreds and in 1885 they were practically extinct the great complaint about killing the hawk is you are interfering with nature or upsetting natures balance as they killed the weak and the delicate one which i firmly believe they did and the- groat provider nut them here for that purpose and mw with the nlnetv- five per ieent cf their food birds gone which includss the passenger pigeons the hawks are left here hungry and thj only way to restore naurer or bring nature back to her own is to reduce them to the same extent that other bird life has been reduced for remember while a hawk will take a weak delicate bird first he can and does catch nnyi he wants to all except the largefvariety of hawks which include the redtail rcd- shculder and broadwinged hawks petsonally i do not shoot these big clumsy varieties for while they will take rabbits and a few domestic fowl and so on that does not bother me so much but to find the feathers of our cheeiful cardinal- and dozens of places where mourning doves have been killed and eaten by such varieties as coopers shard shinned and marsh hawks just says to me jack miner you are not humane and do not love and know the value of our song and insectivorous birds if you will stand for it readers one cardinal singing good cheer near my homo brings me more enjoyment than to see a hun dred hawks and hear the terrorized cries of ether valuable birds getting away from them as far as interfering wjth nature u concerned the same may be said of the shcop dog are you going to allow him to con inue unchecked in your commun ity or are yen going to control him the same can be said of the wolves in dread in america no the multiplying of weed seeds that the majoilty of song and insectivorous birds live on through- out the width and breadth of america is what is bothering us and i never was prouder of our own local gameprccc- tive association than i was atoiirast meeting when they stoid up unanimous ly in favor of putting the quail on the song bird list the bobwhite quail and jho mcurning dove are the two most valuable birds we have on the north american continent and if any person tells you that each bird will destroy as many and more than ten thousand weed seeds in one day you believe it and if we want these birds to increase we have got to reduce the hawks in the same pro- prtlonas ether birds have been reduced the last fifty years remember one sharp shinned hawk will kill hundreds of birds in a year it is not humanity and tflie boys of our land that are kcepingqursongand insectivorous birds down education has stopped that it is the birds natural enemies thaj are all out til proportion one evening last fall- four- miles from my home when the maish hawks were migrating there were fourteen in sight at once and yet men are telling me they are on the decrease they must have poor eyeslghti or the sun dazzles wirlr eyes talk about hawks being scarce i shot seventeen hawks in less than three hours do not forget readers these various hawks follow our valuable birds to the south and back again several of my most particular friends who do not sec ee to eye with me on the hawk question but who are among my best friends just the same ore com ing from as far ns three hundred miles to tag young mourning doves around my little thlrtiyacro plantation where the doves nest by the hundreds and this same class of men will take me in their parks near their homes and wonder why the mourning doves cardinals and robns arc not as plentiful in their parks and in the same breath call my attention to- a mother crow on her nest and possibly to what they call a beauti ful hawk sitting en a dead limb clear across the golf course and tihese two birds dominating the whole situation why do not these men go to these places to tag mourning doves and robins in stead of coming here iwhere we control the hawks and oher natural enemies and by the way right here let me say to the men ot the world because we do as far as the western fair is concerned therp bas been no hard times this thriving exhibition has not once halted in its progress and indications this year already point to an even greater exhibi tion than ever before secretary w d jackson in a recent interview remarked on the applications for exhibiyon space and it is his b lief that the fall will see an awakening in tho trade centres which will

everything is going to be cheaper transpoitation living ex penses and crtainly the dollar this year has far greater spending power than for very many years yet the fair that will be offered to the public will be on just as big a scale as ever for our directors have planned an exhibition that will be a step forward as usual every effort is being made to have each department up to the records achieved in previous years and we know definitely that some departments will create new records particularly in the agriculture- branches of the western fair maikec improvements will be seen the
