THE BENEFICENT CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.


 If farmers would make a study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen GOODS, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of birds and what they eat. About 2,3O0 of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, IS per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has a variety of things it eats.
 I'The animal food" says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfsh, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads, saiamanders (newts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice.' To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food is taken mostly in the summer. In win. ter the food is mostly vegetable matter The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy lot of grain. Some 50,o00 would eat about 5000 pounds a day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

Because Of Their One Unvarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter. rapin in large numbers has yet been de vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look fo1sthem. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.
