Do Crows Recoenize Sunday?

A large number Of crows were forag-
ing for food not Ion" ago close to the
house of a farmer in West Virginia
They were unusually bold. as though
hunger had driven them to forget their
usual shyneSs and distrust Of their
natural cneuieS~-men.
Two Of them alighted close to the
back door and picked up the crumbs
with ALI apparent assurance Of their
safety not easily accounted for. The
farmer was telling a neigbbor about
the tamcness OF the birds. and the lat
ter remarked:
"You won't see them fooIhardy to-.
morrow
why not tomorrow as we'll as to-
day."
Because today is Sunday, and these
crows know it, They know that one
day in seten they are not popped at
by boys and men. They can count.
crows can, and they know that on the
seventh day they are exempt from per-
secution.
II once lived near swamp where
thousands Of crows made their rUoSt-
ing place, and early i'll the morning
they used to start for the mountains
for their food was often out with
my gun trying to get shot at them.
Week days eacy were shy OF me-, and
I seldom rot Il shot ut them, but on
Sunday morning it was different. Then
they would fly low and close to my
house, their wings almost tapping the
riGgeboards of house and barns. DO
crows know wien it is Sunday! or

CEDAR FOR PENCILS.
Only Wood the Price or Which J.:
Quoted by the Pound.

Only Wood the Price or Which is
Quoted by the Pound.
The lead pencil is one of the most
common articles In everyday use, and
since practically the only wood used
in its manufacture is red cedar and
since the pencil industry is steadily
growing (32O,OO0.000 are manufactured
annually in the United States) the sup,
ply of red cedar is becoming greatly
depleted.
Red cedar has a soft. straight grain
and is very free from defects when
properly grown. Because OF It's pecul,
lar qualities no good substitute for 1t
has ever been found. and it is doubtful
if any other wood using industry is so
dependent upon single species as the
ppHcil industry Is dependent upon red
cedar. 1t Is the only wood the price
of which is quoted by the pound.
The popular belief Is that the second
growth of red cedar never reaches
marketable size. says Country Life In
America, but the forest service has
made a careful study Of the subject
and has reached the conclusion that 1t
can be profitably grown In regions of
it's development.
Some changes are recommended in
the present forest management in or
der to secure the desired growth. In
the southern forests it must have a
better chance instead Of being consid-
cred, as now, negligible quantity IN
it's younger stages. Many OF the for
est grown trees which are now cut for
fcnceposts can profitably be left to
attain their full development and thus
become available for pencil wood.

NEW RAILROAD SPIKE.

Designed to Resist Shearine Pressure
Exerted by Moving Trains.
With view to preventing a spike
from being bent outward in the tie so
that the head slips off the base Of the
rail, spikes have been invented which
are provided with spur at the rear
side adapted to act as brace for the
main body Of the spike. However,
owing to the enormous pressure ap-
piled to the tie as the train passes over
the rails the tie IS apt to be slight!!-
bent between the shank and the spur.
