ago discovered the value OF the bubo
owl IS an aid in this respect. To take
advantage of the aid of the bubo the
farmer must first get the bubo.
The bubo is no fool himself. and
it is no easy trick to get him-that
is, to get him alive, for he would be
of no service dead. The native dwell
ers back in the hills have a. way
though of trapping the bubo by means
of a live chicken used in collabora-
ton with a box trap, and they manage
to supply the farmers to some ex-
tent with these owls, although. they
tell me, not enough to meet the de-
mand.
"The owl is tied at spot where
he may be seen from the adjacent
cornfeld, and IL he is not discovered
by the crows when they come In the
field he will soon be discovered by a
sentinel crow, for the bubo will for

long will rise to make a swoop down
on that field after the crow. The
string will quickly jerk him back to

discovered. The sentinel caws the
alarm and the crows rise and make a
dash for him. each one vociferously
yelling its anger.
