Sparrows may be cooked by Sl:©fe "Eat sparrowa; buttered and served on toast, they are as fine as quail." This is the latest advice of Uncle Sam to help his nephews and nieces reduce the high cost of living. The department of agriculture has issued a comprehensive pamphlet on the English sparrow^condemning him as a harmful pest and concluding with a number of recipes of his pre- paration for the kitchen. Most of the pamphlet is devoted to demonstrating the harmfillness of the sparrow and telling how to kill them. "English sparrows," says the re- port, "are noisy, filthy and destruc- any one of the methods employed for reed bird and quail."
