It is now known that many of the birds once thought useless are the farmers' best friends, destroy ing weed seed and insects. Even certain of hawks and owls are found to be useful.

It is said that in the retreat of one pair.of barn owls have been' found more than 3000 skulls of field mice, house mice and rats.
