About the Crows.

A correspondent OF the Country Gentle
man writes: The Country Gentleman Of
February 26th. has IN article which en-
dcayors to prove that crows are useless,
and ought to be eNterminated, because of
their depredations, such as robbing nests
OF their eggs and young, destroying crops
that the farmers have raised, and pluck
ing seed from the earth as soon as it has
gsrminated and appeared at the surface,
He is too hard on these black innocents.
The crows live almost exclusively upon
worms, gruhs insects Of every kind. and
the flesh Of dead animals. They are often
seen in great numbers gathering worms
that the farmer turns out in his furrows
when plowing in the spring They do
not destroy enough crops or seed in the
ground to be equal to one-tenth Of the
good they accomplish as dsstrovers of in
Sects. There are many farmers who have
not given the crow half the credit due to
him; il they would only observe his hab-
its more closely, they would soon ascer-
tam that he needs their protection and en-
enlargement
But listen to the defence Audubon gives
his bird The crow deyour9 mvriads Of
olubS every day in the wear that might
lay waste the farmers fields; it destroys
quadrupeds innumerable, every one of
which is an enemy to his poultry and his
hocks Why then should the farmer be
50 ungratetul when he sees such services
rendered to him by provdential friend
a. To prosecute that friend even to the
death

Some Settled Questions.

If, during the period since agriculture
became subject Of accurate and careful
study we have settled nothing, the pros
pect in the future is discouraging enough
But we have settled many questions and
they should not be opened again 1t is
certain that unleached wood ashes are
worth to the farmer double the leached
that gas-housc lime is not only in general
Valueless, but deleterious to most soils :;
that green corn fodder, if raised in drills,
with full access Of light and air, is highly
nutritious and valuable, but il raised from
broadcast sowing in a close mass is almost
worthless. 1t is certain that deep plough
lng on a great variety Of soils. is better
than shallow, and that manure spread on
grass lands, under favorable conditions,
will give profitable grass returns
A class Of men attend farmers meetings,
who seem to make it their business to dis
pute every statement offered. and sense
less controversy takes the place of instruc-
tive debate Those who have important
facts to present, facts derived from ex-
perience and careful experiment, are con-
tronted by stupidity and ignorance. and
the best thoughts and deductions are lost
sight Of in the general rubbish OF vapid
talk and disputations. Boston journal

Oranges in the Southern States.

1t seems to be pretty generally admit
ted that the establishment Of the Patrons
Of IIusbandry in the Southern States is be-
ing attended with, if possible, more mark
ed benefit than is derived from the move
mcnt at the North The order in the
South seems TO have given 4 marked i'm
petus to white immigration, so much
needed TO occupy the fertile Vet uninl-
proved lands in those States Manutac-
tories are also springing up by which
the raw product OF that region is being
wrought into fabrics at home. The Pa
irons have also exercised n most import
ant influence in toning down bitter sec
tioual differences and the rancor of party
+pirit, which have heretofore eXerted such
4 demoralizing influence upon all indus
trial pursuits there They have stimulat-
ed improved modes of agriculture, and
accomplished much in relieving southern
planters from the cNacting demands OF
middemeM. Hence ii is no wonder that
the order s popular there, rs much 80,
perhaps, as in any section OF the Union.
Ihe measure of usefulness of the Patrons
of liusbandry is rs wide as are the bounds
which enclose their field OF action TPaci-

Helping Chickens out of the Shell.

We not mtrcquently find that some
weak chick is held a prisoner after his
companions had gained their freedom,
and to help HIM out of the shell is very
delicate process and one requiring a steady
hand Soften the membrane by placing
the egg in warm water; then break the
shell ut the large end and continue to chip
off small pieces all round till the upper
half OF the egg is removed During the
operation carefully avoid loss of blood,
which in nine cases out of ten will prove
fatal, even though but few drops are
lost
AS soon as the chick is clear of the shell
put it in warm flannel. or in u piece Of
Sheepskin with the wool left on, and place
it IN warm, dry spot near Il fire to warm
and gain strength. About the second or
third day the chick will be strong enough
TO be put under the Old hen, which should
he done by night,) and III a week cannot
be distinguished from the rest OF the brood
OF course there is no place where regular
ly hatchcd chickens will do 50 well as un-
der the warm cover Of their mothers
wings But in the case OF chickens artiti-
cially helped into the world, almost sure
death will follow if they are left to be
hustled about by their stronger brethren
and trampled upon by the hen. who is
governed in her motions more by the
average strength of her flock than bv the
needs of the weaker and more backward
ones TENchanrp

Coming into school?
Don't you hear the master drumnin:
On the window with his rule?
Master drumming. children coming
Into school:
Tip-toed figures reach the catch,
Tiny fingers click the latch;
Curlv-headed girls throng in

Breezy boys bolt in together,
Bringing breaths of winter weather,
Bringing baskets Indian checked.
Dinners in them sadly wrecked.
Ruddv-handed, mittens off,
Soldiers rush from the Malakotf:-
Built of snow and marble white,
BaStions shining in the light,
Marked with many dint and dot

for many years the Importance of regu-
lar supply Of ripe fruit to prevent disease,
and insisted that the best medicine chest

berry plants. We knew family who
moved West AID took with them'a very
iarge supply of dried fruit, which lasted
them throughout the first summer. None
OF them were sick although disease pre-
vailed all about them that year; but the
next year, with more comforts and less
prlVatlons, but with no fruit, they suffered
much from sickness. Other western resi-
dents have told us that so long as they
could have ripe fruit, they have been free
from all disease resulting from malaria
