INCREASE IN PHEASANTS IN MASS. 
(Continued from page 215.) 
gizzards of wil'd pheasants killed by accident and 
by shooting have been examined. 
Weed seeds were eaten in large quantities. 
Plant lice' (both green, black, wooly and other 
species) and grasshoppers were greedily eaten at 
any time in preference to other foods, while rose 
and potato bugs were eaten only under stress of 
hunger. In addition to grasshoppers and crick¬ 
ets, which were greedily eaten at all times by 
birds of all ages, particular attention should be 
directed to the fact that some of the most con¬ 
spicuous farm and garden pests were eaten in 
large numbers. The strong bill and agile legs 
equip the bird for digging, scratching and run¬ 
ning, and enable it to capture insects, adult, 
pupae and larvae, below as well as above ground. 
Among these are notably wire worms, which in¬ 
fest many species of cultivated plants and are 
difficult to control; the May beetle or white grub, 
which does much damage to grass lands, lawns, 
strawberry beds (both the adults and larvae were 
eaten by pheasants four weeks old) ; rose bugs, 
appearing in eariy summer and doing great injury 
to roses, grapes and other plants; the larvae, 
which fed on the roots of plants and are very 
difficult to control, were eaten by pheasants three 
days old; the striped flea beetle, which feeds upon 
the leaves of the cabbage, turnip and radish. The 
codling moth, a very costly pest of the apple and

pear trees, and the imported cabbage web worm, 
very destructive to cabbage, were eaten by pheas¬ 
ants four weeks old. Mosquitoes, house flies, 
blow flies, apple maggots or railroad worms were 
eaten in large quantities. Of house flies,. three 
pheasants five weeks old were observed to eat 
between 250 and 300 within one half-hour. 
The most important insects taken in large 
quantities were gypsy and brown-tail moths, both 
adults and larvae.
