A Vicious Crow.
apis tu&s-ts

''Some of my neighborsi in Brookland," said
q suburbanite to Star reporter, "have been
having some peculiar experiences with a
vicious crow. In the groves and woods
northeast and north OF Brookland thou
sands of crows make their roosting place.
In the morning they dispense to selected
fields and return in the afternoon, some
times forming an almost endless string of
black spots in the sky. In the early morn
and bottoms along the Potomac river and
tributaries. In the summer they play havoc
with young corn and with whatever else
the farmers and truck gardeners have put
out and left unprotected. l suppose the
backward spring, which has held vegetation
back and prevented the development of the
insects that crows likewise feed upon. has
left the black pests with empty food re-
ceptacles. At any rate one particularly
bold crow selected flock of young chickens
belonging to neighbor and bounced down
upon them, carrying of few before his
doings We're detected Then a watchful
eye was kept upon him. He would fly over
chicken yards and dart down suddenly
upon little chickens He caused some loss
before the neighbors got TO shooting at him
him away to some other field. Old-time
scare crows were put up in the lots and
open places to Brighten the bad crow and
these may have succeeded in running him
off. Crows are usually too wild to alight
around habitation, and the presumption
il that hunger produced the unusual thing
OF a crow stealing and devouying chickens"
