FOR THE CHILDREN


Jim Crow.
One afternoon last year my brother
SAW in the top Of large tree two
crows sitting on the edge Of the nest.
They were feathered out and were
about ready to leave their home. So
be climbed the tree and brought them
down. They soon began to hop
around, always wanting something to
eat. We fed them meat, as they cared
very little for angleworms. AS one was
inclined to be cross, we decided to keep
only one.
"A great many Of our friends told Us
If we split his tongue he would talk,
but they could not say that they had
ever heard one talk, so we did not do
1t. We taught him to say ''Hcllo!' and
How do you do?' quite plainly. When
he was angry he would scold away at
us with all his might. We kept cup
at the well on purpose for Jim, and
when he was thirsty he would come
and rattle the cup. We would come at
his call and fill it up for him. When he
had drunk all he wished to he would
never fail to tip the cup over and
watch the water run out on the plat
form of the well.
He delighted In carrying things off
whenever be could get chance. When
we gave him angleworms he would
fly upon the top Of the house and stick
them under the shingles.
In the morning he would fly up to
my brothers room and sit on the win
dow sill and call until he awoke him.
One morning hate in the summer we
MISSED our jim We called and called.
but no Jim came to get his breakfast,
and we saw him no more. We think
that he must have been killed, as 1t
was too early for the crows to migrate.

Agricultural Notes.


Cattle owners are early trying TO dis
pose of portion Of their stock, as it Is
feared the usual amount cannot be
kept through another winter, says the
Boston Cultivator.
The scheme of growing vegetables
and flowers under canvas seems to be
spreading 1t has advantages for hot
weather as well as for frost protection.
An irrigation system may be Of
great benefit to eastern growers, partic-
ularly for small fruit. which is often
a failure on account Of drought
A useful little wrinkle by T. Grenier
in Farm and Fireside; When one is
grinding scythes and other like tools
little sand applied to the wet griI
