BARN OWLS HELP.
Howard G. Taylor, of Riverton, N.J., writes in connection with barn owls, the subject of a recent article in Nature Magazine by Mrs. Mabel Gillespie, that these creatures as has been found are economically yaluable to man. Two adult owls, named Castor and Pollur, raised four broods of youngsters near his home, and every day the remains of rats and meadow mice were found under the nest. The owls, during their sojourn, eliminated numerous generations of rats which lived on the banks of a neighbouring river and caused considerable damage.
