Perennial QuarrsIa

Is the crow the friend or the enemy of the farmer? That is question that has pestered editors of and con tributors to agricultural papers ever since Orange Judd was a young man. One will tell you that the miscreant pulls up. and out of the soil, the tender corn plant, and does it for pure mis- chief, and be recommends the scare crow to frighten him away, or, better the slaying of the bird and gfbbeting his carcass conspicuous in the field as warming to his fellows. Another says the crow is after the grub that is after the plant: that if corn is pulled up it is due to accident, and that the crow repays it a thousandfoId in the de- struction he visits on noxious grubs Indeed, calculation has been made that a single crow will destroy 100000 en- emies of the farmer every season.
 The crow is a migratory bird, and periodically he is gregarious. He her aids winter in November or December, and spring in March or April. He is the most intellectual of all the feather ed tribe, with more sence than 40 par rots. Many crow has been taught to talk, and when domesticated he is the most incorrfgibae thief in the world except the domesticated coon. That is pretty nearly as smart as the crow. Post.

Two of his museums were de- stroyed, in 1865 and in 1868. but he didn't mind a little thing like that. When his circus, surpassing anything ever before dreamed of, got into full swing, the dollars came Barnu1n's way.
