To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
EAGLES. CASE 39.
In the upper portion of the wall case are eagles, hawks and kites. Among the hawks are the roughleg, Swainson's, broad-winged, red- shouldered, red-tailed, ferruginous roughleg, Harlan's hawk and a variety of kites and falcons.
39 Dr. W. T. Hornaday on page 225 of "The American Natural His- tory" holds up Pennsylvania as an object lesson in regard to certain ill- advized bird legislation. He says in 1885 the legislature of that state (Pennsylvania) enacted a law aimed at the wh...olesale destruction of hawks and owls, and authorizing the various counties to pay cash bounties for the "scalps" of those birds, at the rate of fifty cents each. Immediately the work of slaughter began. Many thousand scalps of hawks and owls were brought in, and over $90, 000 were paid out for them. It has been estimated that the "saving" to the agricultural in- terests of the state amounted to $1 for every $1, 205 paid out as boun- ties ! In this manner the balance of Nature was quickly and completely destroyed.
