The übiquitous' sparrow (says the “Dominion”) was the subject of some interesting-remarks by Mr. G. W. Kirk, F.L.S., during a- discussion at the Fruitgrowncr’s Conference, as to whether more German owls should bo imported. Mr. Kirk stated that during a series of experiments he had carried out lie had found that the sparrow had five broods a year, each brood averaging six birds. Over a period of twelve months it was found that the sparrow’s insect food was only 6 per cent of the whole. No power on earth would exterminate the sparrow in New Zealand, .said Mr. Kirk, and if the German owl only kept the- sparrow in check he would earn his wages. “My appetite’s bad—can’t seem to improve it.” Try Stearns’ Wine of Cod Liver Extract.
