According to recent experiments by
Stanilas Tetard. a widely known French
agriculturist, wheat and other cereals
can be protected against the ravage or
crows, which are particularly fond OF
the grain when it's sprouts are just
pushing above the ground. by treating
the seeds before they are sown with
a mixture Of Goa tar, petroleum and
picnic acid. This treatment. which de-
lays the growth of the seed for a day or
two, out causes no damage, imparts an
odor which Is insufferable to the crows,
but which disappears after the sprouts
have attained a larger growth, when
they are no longer subject to attack.
The inhabitants OF Groden, in the

snow, of which there was a great guam
tity. A gigantic statute of st. Ulrich
and busts of heroic size, on artistic
pedestals, OF former burgermeisters and
of Emperor Francis were produced, and
the unique street decorations showed
that the little place contained much ar
tistic talent.
