We have great many enemies 70 poor
Jim Crow up ia this meighboFh0oi. The

Do with the bills / do not know. "a gentle
man informed me q few days a@ag THAT while
passing through q nlsaow us attention was
attracted by a large number 81 crows which
were FIXING around and making great COM
motion. One be observed on the gFound

20 wheee tins crow was he found fllst 3 large
swapping turtle had hold Of is foot. which
il held on t. until both were captured The
gentleman Is. still IN possession Of both
the crow and turtle and Is Offering the latter
for sale. / think the lovers Of crow bills
would do well 10 procure this turtle TO be
used as a trap 10 catch crows. But, Messrs.
Editors, / am down On this turtle OF any
other erow-catcher. think the crow is a
great benefit 70 the farmers IL is true be
win pluck up and eat little Of our com
occasionally, but where we lose une hill Of
corn by the crows, we lose ten by the insects
which the crow destroys. The crow is easily
frightened off while the insects are not and
there is not a more insectivOruus bird than
the crow. They will worm tobacco almost
as well as the turkey particularly when it is
in its small state. believe ! should have
lost large quantity of my tobacco last
year but for the timely help the crows gave
me by worming it when it was small. An
other story has reached me OF the usefulness
of the crow: Two CLOVIS were seen sitting
on hogs back picking off the yirmin.---
After this, can anyone say that the crow il
not very beneficial 10 the farmer, not only
in saving his crops from destruction by the
insects, but also saving his pork from the
ravages Of virmin. We all know that pork
is very high, particularly when we have il
to buy, and am uncOmpromisingl opposed
to paying anyone for killing the crows.
