 The 10,000 are on one estate. The damage done by 

 birds is comparatively nothing to the benefits conferred 

 by them in the destruction of mischievous insects ; and 

 (Jic experi nee of agriculturists lias shown that crusades 

 against birds have always been followed by the devasta-

 suffer death, than confess himself capable of so beastly 

 i , e as drunkenness.
