To give a concrete example: is estimated that the State ot Massa- chusetts, with an area of 8,000 square miles, has not less than five useful birds to the acre, or a bird population of 25,600,000. From ob- servation and dissection, a conserva- tive estimate or the number of in- sects consumed by each insectl-verous bird is one hundred per day. That means the consumption of the enor- mous total of 2,560,000,000 insects. `This means the daily consumption of chiey obnoxious insects in Massa- chusetts ls 21,000 bushels.

The assets of the company increased $144,267,300 and at the end of the year stood at $1,259,S50,325. The mortality in- creased somewhat as compared with the previous year, and the total num- ber of claims paid was 305,276. This was an average of one claim paid every 24 seconds of each busi- ness day of eight hours, or just about 1,000 a day during the year, includ- ing Sundays and holidays.
