START A CAMPAIGN OF POPULAR KDUCATION. 



Here agaiu we have auolbei- strikiug example ot the 

 iii'geiit uecessity for I'eiiusylvauia to begiu, not in 

 oomiug yt'ius wIk'u our bi'iielicial featiiered frieuds 

 are wiped out of cxiateiKe, but NOW, a campaigu of 

 popular edutatiou wbieb will correct erroneous ideas 

 so generally cultivated about the raptorial birds as 

 well as many other wild animals. 



Since going over the bounty data from all counties, 1 

 feel il to be a public duty to prepare a report on those 

 sorely abused birds which will enable every fair 

 minded individual who comes into possession of this 

 document to be able to readily distinguish every spe- 

 cies of the raptorial bird-kind credited to the fauna 

 of the grand old Keystone Commonwealtli. 



NO MORE CHICKENS' HEADS FOR HAWKS. 



If bounty laws are desired by the citizens of i'enu 

 sylvania, of course they will probably be enacted, ami 

 if couuiy olliciais are, in tlie discharge of their duties, 

 called upon to determine the names of heads of differ- 

 ent kinds of birds and other animals, they should sure- 

 ly have some guide to aid them in arriving at proper 

 conclusions. To meet such an emergency, the conclud- 

 ing chapter in this work has been prepared. This 

 chapter will certainly enable any justice of the peace, 

 county commissioner or magistrate to recognize all 

 animals" heads which are likely to be presented for 

 bounty. The heads of chickens, turkeys, grouse, Eng- 

 lish Sparrows and other birds, pieces of worn-out 

 buffalo robes, the skins of colts and mules should 

 never, in future days, be the media of depleting conn 

 ties' exchequers as Ihey have in former years.
