How TO PROTECT CD RN.-Seeing
an inquiry in your paper how to keep
crows from corn, | would beg leaYe
to state for the benefit of farmers in
general, that 1 have tried many ways
and have come to the conclusion that
the string around the field is the
best; but | have more corn destroyed
by the mole and fthe p3use than BY
crows. l have tried various ways to
stop these also, and find that SCOT
mixed with snuff is the best. ]
mix as follows: Put the corn in B
bucket, vet it with water, then put
on the SCOT and snuff until all thf
corn is covered, leach grain,) and
plant before it dries.

How the Kentuckian stole the Pig.

During the late war with Mexi-
IcO, some of the stratagems employed
by the frolicsome American sol
dlery to obtain fresh meat when in
the vicinity of the Mexican ranches
were amusing to o high degree
These tricks Of the soldiers were
undertaken as much for amlise>
ment and deHitry, as for The sake Of
getting a taste of what they had
been accustomed to from childhood
before they went to the vars
Stealing from the Mexicans being
strictly forbidden by tile American
officers, and always punished if
found out, great cunning and quiet
stealth were indispensably neces
sary To- success. In order to obtain
chickens in cold weather, warm
board was placed against The trees
in which the fowls r oosted; while a
soldier, standing unseen by the side
tof the board, snatched them off as
they came down the boardrto warm
themselves, and wrang their ne cks
before they had a chance to cackle
the alarm. Ducks W ere killed by
silly coming up to the edge of the
high steep banks Of the creeks.
where the ducks were floating &, and
with long pole ralIing them dowp.
To cope in possession of a fat
shoat, without lis giving the squeal-
ing alarm, was a much more diff :
cult matter, and for a long time
puzzled the head of many a hungry
soldier, who, over the dull camp
fire, was thinking Of the comforts
aud good eating Of the home he Had
left. The soldiers well knew that
the MSAicans mad. quite pet Of
! their pigs, and at night tied them
with rope by the leg, near THEN
| houses and inside Of :heir yards. =
Finally after various expedicuts had
in vain been discussed, a tall
lshrewd, athletic kentuckiaa. whq
had 'managed some hogs in His day
lat home," and ''knowed the natul
Iof the beast, volunteered to pro

that every body is quiet, he peers
