Few birds are more valuable to the farmer than is the Whip-poor-will. It never does him any harm in any way, for it does not eat his cherries and strawberries, nor does it pull up his newly planted corn, nor eat his millet seed. It does not fill up the drainage-pipes of his house with sticks and leaves as do the Wrens ; it does not eat his chicken-feed as do the pestiferous European Sparrows, nor catch his young poultry . What it does for him is to eat the ever-swarming insects that lay the egg...s that 292 The Whip-poor-will batch into caterpillars and destroy the leaves of shade and fruit-trees. May-beetles and leaf-eating beetles are destroyed by it also. In truth, fortunate, indeed, is the grower of grain, or the raiser of fruit who, during the spring and summer nights, has one or more pairs oi these birds about his place, for all during the hours when the farmer sleeps the Whip-poor-will is busy ridding his place of these harmful insects.
Mr. Ingersoll says: "They never regularly sweep through the upper air as does the Nighthawk, but seek their food near the ground by leap- ing after it in short, erratic flights.
