Just about grounding day." which
all well informed people know to be Feb.
Q, New Jersey farmer heard flock of
crows making big fuss in field near
the woods. The farmer investigated and
found the cause of their disturbance to
be grounding looking for something
to eat. For some reason the crows re-
sented the appearance of the little ami
NAL and asseilcd him on every side with
sharp beaks and claws. As good luck
would have it, the groundhog was near
his hole, and in he went in a hurry.
His sudden disappearance caused sur
prise and conformation among the crows,
and for q time they few around wildly.
Then they held council, with the re-
suit that two old crows flew to the top of
a rail fence few feet from the burrow
as sentinels. while the others few some
distance away.
Ten minutes elapsed and then the
grounding reappeared. Instantly the
sentinels cawed the signal, and the main
army came flying, but the animal was
too quick and lodged into his home.
The heexasperated crows Immediately fell
10 WORK, ana IN the course or 10 minutes
plugged up the hole with dirt and stones.
Then they indulged in chorus of exulta-
ton and were having joyous time
when one old crow gave terrible cav
of rage.
He had discovered the grounding sit
ting ON knoll so feet away, having
emerged from the other end of his bur-
row.
Then there was another council of
war, and the farmer expected to see an
other attack, but it soon became evil
dent that the crows were disheartened,
and after awhile they arose as one bird,
and with few faint hearted caws flew
to the woods and disappeared, thus ae-
knowledging that the grounding was
smarter than they. y.-Golden Days.
