This silk has a brocaded surfaco and

MEADOW LARK EATS
jk
Meadow Lark
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
May Is tho month when tho meadow
lark does somo of its best work in
aiding tho farmer, for that is when
tho cutworms bogln their career, and
this llttlo bird devours them by thou
sands. It nlso eats many caterpillars,
and in the same month theso crea
tures form ovor 24 per cent of its
wholo diet Caterpillars which aro
ground feeders aro often overlooked
by birds which habitually frequent
troos, but thoy do not escape the
meadow lark. Ants, wasps, spiders,
and chinch bugs aro other harmful
pests eaten by this feathered friend
of humanity.
In 1,514 stomachs of tho meadow
lark examined, animal food (practi
cally all insects) constituted 74 per
cent of tho contents and vcgetablo
matter 26 per cent. As would natu
rally bo supposed, tho insects wero
ground species, as beetles, bugs, grass
hoppers and caterpillars, with a few
flloa and wasps and spiders. A num
bor of the stomachs wero collected
when tho ground was covered with
Snow, but oven theso contained a
largo percentage of Insects, showing
tho bird's skill In finding proper food
undor adverse circumstances.
Of tho various insects eaten, crick
ets and grasshoppers are tho most im
portant, constituting 2G per cent of
tho food of the year and 72 per cent
of tho food In August It is scarcely
necessary' to mention tho beneficial
offect of a number of theso birdB on
a field of grass in tho height of tho
grasshopper season. Of tho 1,514
stomachs collected at all seasons of
tho yoar, 778, or moro than half, con
tained remains of grasshoppers, and
ono wan filled with fragments of 37
of theso insects. This Beems to show
conclusively that grasshoppers aro
preferred, and nro eaton whenever
thoy can bo found. Especially nota
ble is tho great number taken In Au
gust, tho month when grasshoppers
roach tholr maximum abundance.
Next to grasshoppers, beetles mako
up tho moBt Important Item of the
moadow lark's food, amounting to
25 per cent, about one-half of which
are predaceous ground beetles. Tho
others aro of harmful species.
Forty-two individuals of different
kinds of May beetles wore found in
tho stomachs of meadow larks, and
there wero probably many more which
wero post recognition. To this form
and several closoly allied one3 belong
tho numerous white grubs, which aro
among tho worst enemies to many
cultivated crops, notably grasses and
grains, and to a less extent strawber
ries and garden vegetables. In tho
larval stago they eat tho roots of
thoso plants, and being largo, ono In
dividual may destroy soveral plants.
In tho adult stago they feed upon tho
follago of trees and other plants, and
in this way add to the damage which
thoy began In tho earlier form. Ab
theso onemles of husbandry aro not
easily destroyed by man, It Is obvious
ly wiso to encourage their natural
foes.
Among tho " weevils found in tho
stomachs tho most important econom
ically are tho cotton-boll weevil and
tho recently introduced alfalfa weovll
of Utah. Several hundred meadow
larks wero taken In tho cotton-growing
region, and tho boll weovll was
found In 25 stomachs of tho eastern
meadow lark and In 15 of tho western
species. Of tho former, ono stomach
contained 27 Individuals. Of 25 stom
achs of western meadow larks taken
In alfalfa fields of Utah, 15 contained
tho alfalfa -woovll.
Tho vcgetablo food consists of grain
and weed and other hard seeds. Grain
in general amounts to 11 per cent and
weed and other seeds to seven per
cent. Grain, principally corn, is eaten
mostly In winter and early spring and
consists, therefore, of wasto kornels;
only a trlflo is consumed in summer
and nutumn when it is most plentiful.
No trace of sprouting grain was dis
covered. Clover seed was found In
only six stomachs, and but llttlo In
each. Soeds of weeds, principally rag
weed, barnyard grass, and sraartweed,
aro eaten from Novombor to April, In
clusive, but during tho rest of tho
yoar are replaced by insects.
Briofly stated more than half of the
meadow lark's food consists of harm
ful Insects; Its vogetablo food la com
posed either of noxious weeds or
waste grain, and tho romaludor Is
mado up of useful booties or neutral
insocta and spiders. A strong point
in tho bird's favor Is that, although
naturally an insect eater, It Is able
to subsist on vegotnblo food, and con
sequently is not forced to migrate lu

cold weather farther than la necessary
to find grounds free from snow.
Tho eastern meadow lark la a com
mon and well-known bird, occurring
from tho Atlantic coast to tho great
plains, where It gives way to tho
closely-relatod western specloa, which
extonds thenco westward to tho Pa
cific. It winters from our southern
bordor as far north na the District of
Columbia, southern Illinois, and oc
casionally Iowa. The western form
winters somewhat farther north. Al
though it 1b a bird of tho plains, and
finds its most congenial haunts in tho
prairies of tho West, It is at homo
wherever there Is level or undulating
land covered with grass or weeds,
with plenty of water at hand.

FOREIGN BODIES AND CATTLE
More Care Should Be Taken to See
That Animals Do Not Eat Nails
and Pieces of Wire.
(By I. B. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricul
tural Collesc.l
The average person does not seem
to realize how many good cattle dlo
from foreign bodies such as nails and
pieces of wire that pass from tho
second stomach forward In tho
heart sac. Moro cattle, partlcu!jfcrly
thoso which aro kept up around tho
cities, pick up foreign bodies in their
food and these are nearly always de
posited in the second stomach. This
nfomach lies just back of the dia
phragm, whereas tbo heart lies just in
front and on tho opposite side of this
partition. Consequently, if ono of theso
sharp bodies starts forward, owing to
tho movements of tho stomach, it is
very apt to pierce tho heart sac. This
carries infection and tho heart sac
fills with pus; Anally after somo week,
or oven months tho animal shows
symptoms of disease and dies, even
without tho owner knowing tho real
cause of tho difficulty.
Prevention is not easy, but moro
caro should be taken to see that tho
cattle do not eat out of tho mangera
or In feed lots whero there aro many
nails and pieces of wire. It Is not at
all uncommon to find twenty-flvo or
thirty nails In tho stomach of a cow.
FOR SUCCESS WITH TURKEYS
Young Poults Should Be Penned Up
for First Week or Two Give
Old Ones Free Range.
There Is no doubt but grown tur
keys must have free range to mako
any success with them, but I believo
that tho young poults should be penned
up for tho first week or so, as tho
mother turkey hen always starts out
too early in tho morning, whon tho
dew gives tho young ones a chill and
as a consequenco many of tho poults
are lost.
So many advocate, "there's nothing
like giving tho turkeys free range with
their poults." This jnay bo entirely
all right In a dry season, but tho morn
ing dew and sudden rain showers aro
opt to catch you any tlmo and a num
ber In my vicinity lost over half of
tholr freo-rango poults last year on
account of tho sudden rains and heavy
dew during tho hatching season.
