The CTO7US.

There seems to be considerable diver
sity of opinion among farmers as TO the
place of crows in the economy of the
farm; the very important question be-
ing whether they are to be encouraged
as allies or shot as pests. On the one
hand, a correspondent of the Massachu-
setts Plouqhmdn communicates the dis
covery that crows pull wheat, and that
when driven from corn fields they find
support in making drafts upon young
wheat blades also, that they have gone
into the poultry business i'll opposition
to hawks. and have made off with
number of fine chickens from yards in
the neighborhood. On the other hand,
the Baltimore Sun calls on its readers
to Spare the crow" and the Boston
Cultirutor indorses the sentiment. 1t
seems that the country people OF Mary
land, in accordance with an old and pc
culiar custom, are given to poisoning
crows with strychnine. One sbrewd far
mer is said to have collected seventy
eight dollars reward for the scalps of
twelve hundred crows which he had pol
soned The Sun condemns such practi-
ces as the poorest kind of economy and
illustrates the use of the crow as n scav-
enger and as a destroyer of the grubs
and worms that annoy the farmer. This
question of the worth or worthlessness
of crows has evidently two sides to II
and our agricultural readers should con-
tribute to the discussion the results of
their experience and observation.

about entering the bank, William drew
the book containing the money from
his pocket and Immediately his hat
was knocked over his eyes and tho
money pulled out of the book. He
did not get a fair view of the robber.
Josiah Wood was standing in tho bank
door and saw the occurrence. He
caught only side view of the thief.
He was confident that Clarke is the

4 Neu Cereal,

Oregon has a cereal which looks like
wheat rye and barley, and isn't either
of them. The leading agricultu1ists'
of the State are puzzling themselves
about it. Its history is strange. About
four years ago a farmer living in Tala-
NOOK county, Oregon, killed a wild
goose, in whose crop he found a pecu-
liar looking grain. He planted it; it
multiplied wonderfully, and he subss-
quently raised forty bushels on half an
acre of land. Its growth is peculiar,
from seven to ten stalks springing from
one root. The kernel is very thin and
compact, of a bright straw color, and
extremely hard.
