They have just got their farms cleared up,
and taken Few crops from the virgin soil
or they are situated upon the old homestead
with hundred acres Of poor hard cropped
land. They have good neighbors, good
schools, and good markets; brt they are not
making money quite so fast as they wish TO.

plare. tf;.....,..i F4s,s.
Ii man is already settled, and has pleas

there is nothing else wrong but the land,

There may be more wealth, 10 the old farm
than its owger dreams Of, aud a better man
agement may enable him to unlock its trea-
sures.
Perhaps deeper plowing is needed to
break up the hard pan. formed by running
the pillow nose four inches below The surface
for a century. Perhaps two thirds OF the
manure is wasted, and there may be loud
call to stop the leaks. Perhaps the cattle
are foddered at the stack all winter, and
there is dead loss, in the extra consump.
ton Of hay, of ten dollars for every head VI
stock. Perhaps the best part Of that farm
is still under water. for half The year. and it
only needs little draining To turn waste
into fruitful meadow. A few changes of
this kind in the management Of 4 farm make
all the difference between success and failure,
riches and poverty. As a rule, it is much
better for a farmer TO change his mana cement
than to change bis location. We have obsery-
ed many Of the latter kind of changes. and
seldom found them prohtable; but the other
kind pay well. Our advice, then, is 10 drive
down the stakes little deeper where yog

MLssRs. EprToRs Having for the last fou
or live wears carefully studied the habits oi

words through your Farmers Magazine con-
cerning the crow, one of the most common
Of our resident birds.
! II Is considered doubtful by many wheth-
er the crow is 10 the habit Of destroying
the nests OF other birds. On several occa
si0ns, upon visiting the nests OF robins and
other Of curl can almost say---domesic
birds. 10 which only few days before | had
seen eggs. have found them much disturb

pieces Of broken shells and drops of yelk,
Entirely empty. Until last MAY was una

ioI that month pair Of robins built nest
upon IN apple tree in the yard. ielt pe-
culiar interest in ihese birds. for they had
occupied nest IN time, laid four eggs, and
commenced the process oi incubation.
Everything was gnng on regularly and
happily. when one day my attention was at.
tracte,l by the loud screaming and CRYING Of
both parent birds. Upon looking at the nest
discovered al old crow sitting upon the
branch nearest The nest deliberately eat
ing the eggs. The robins fought brayely,
but we're unsbIetO force him to abandon the
feast. Immediately took sides with the
robins, and quickly drove the intruder TO the
wovis, but u was too late. The nest WAS
destroyed and the eggs eaten. have upon
several occasions since. seen the crow engag-
ed IN the same ihieying business I; and now
consider It quite settled, that the crow, as
has frequently been charged upon him, is
robber and deynnrer Of the eggs and Young
Of the smaller birds. as well as a notorious
rogue 10 the eornkeld.
Bat IT is said, "fhe devil should have his
due !" and il cannot be denied that the crow
