Show A Good Word fok the Crow. Let me speak for the crow. Lttst year as I was burrowing corn with 11 vibrating harrow having teeth (you know it is a nnisy thing), it uncovered un-covered a great number ot white grubs, which you could see nil about the ground. They are very destructive destruc-tive 10 vegeLition of all kinOs. They ale Or destroyed thousands ot hills ol corn thai year. You could see the track ot the grub as they traveled to getKoniPihing to e.it, for they travel when in search of loud. You could see the surface of the ground a litlle elevated, and checked when the surface is hard and dry. Well, you set-, when L was tuirrowiuvr, as soon as the ernws heard the harrow al work, they would come acid light on the u round that was being burrowed, and the ir-sber the better they hked it ; when oing one way they would liht alter I bad passed along; when I returned and came within six or eight rods ol them they would rise gently and circle around in the rear again. I have counted as many as suvenlen urubB that one crow picked up at one lighting. They take any and everything large and small that is, worms, grubs and beetles. Crows can't pull corn when planted with a machine; we have no fe.ir of the.n from that source. Finally, wherever civil:?, iliiin is, there are n.oks and crows. Chataqua Fanner. |
