THE CROW HAS FIGURED
MANY TIMES AS VILLAIN

FROM tic I-oIl'!Ol J. !1fltS.
In all times and countries man has
regarded crows with SupcrStitious awe,
as birds of omen, the familiars of
witches and evil spirits. n the confi-
dants OF deitics whom they never failed
to betray. Odin took them for his
heralds and councillors. but could not
trust them. and they blabbed the Sc
dalmongers of Olympus. and to their
evil tongues poor Coronis owned her
death. Indra. in wrath at their tale
bearing, hurled them down through all
the hundred stages OF his heaven. They
would have disclosed to his enemies
the hiding place of Mohammed i'm the
rocks of Thaur. but the dove built her
nest. and the spider spun her web to
hide it,. No bird surely had nobler
opportunities. and everywhere it
proved itself unworthy of its trust.
1t WAS satisfactorily established by
the old writer's that the crows got their
blackncss in punishment for their sins.
1t seems to have been a futile punish
nent. for there is no living thing that
shows in its demcanor less evidence of
n repentant spirit. Instead of being
ashamed of their blackness. crows. as
an Indian writer has said, "sWagger in
it. ana pretend that they chose that eX-
act shade for themselves"
What color CROWS We're before they
were smitten black is uncertain. 1t is n
strange fact that they are most closely
allied to the jays and magpies on one
hand. and to birds of paradise on the
other. so the possibilities are infinite.

MISS DUNAWAY'S
 WORK IS PRAISED
Her Daddy Long Legs" and Costume Changing
 Pleases Macon Folk.

Of Miss Hettie Dunaway, the we'll known Arkansas reader and imper senator, who appears at the auditor ium of the High school this evening, in her rendition of I'addy Long Legs" one of the best known Lyceum bureau stars writes:
 Miss Hettie Dunaway is an artist in her line. Her presentation of Daddy Long Legs at Wesleyan last night has not been equalled in Macon in years, if at all, and her costume changing showing the evolution of an orphan to college-bre young woman and the wife of her benefactor, was effectively done.
 Miss Dunaway had an agreeable audience to entertain and the story was indeed appropriate. One-half of the audience were college students Mercer as well as Wesleyan-and the others were for the most part college graduates.
 There was hardly a person present but who could connect some of the experiences of "Juda Abbott with some of the incidents of their school days The story, of course, is familiar to all.
 Miss Dunaway appeared in fourteen costumes, beginning with "Juda'' at tired in gingham dress and writing her first letter after arriving at col lege, reaching her climax after her graduation when she went to the home of Daddy Long Legs" ill New York to find that he was none other than one of her roommates' uncle.
 Those who saw Miss Dunaway last year in "The Lady of the Decoration were unanimous last night in saying that she showed to even better ad- vantage in Daddy Long Legs" Her work was treat that many will re- gret missing, though one of the larg- est crowds of the year at Wesleyan was present.

Because of inability to purchase here peanuts for seed purposes at less than S2 per bushel, a humber Of farmers in the P,ne Bluff section yes terday, received from White county a quantity of seed peanuts, the cost of which, including freight, was $1.15 per bushel.
 Quite a number of farmers in this section are preparing to plant pea nuts following the gathering of their crops of Irish potatoes, and in that way the request for prices of the seed peanuts was occasioned. The seed was furnished from White county farmers, who have cooperative sys- tenn, which looks after purchases Of supplies for the farmers, as well as taking care of the marketing of the farmers crops.

slLAGE BETTER IN WOOD. "Contents 6fsEGncrete Silos Spoiled Around Edge." Two Farmers Say

 Ensilage and cottonseed cake for fattening steers for market are being used with success on two large farms in Cooper county, Missouri, this win ter. It is being tested fer,-the first time there by Nelson Leonard of Ravenswood farm, who is feeding 100 steers, bought in the spring to aid utilizing the 1,200, acres of blue grass and by Dr. A w. Nelson, who is feed ing 200 head on his BOO acre farm, Both are recent converts to silos, and are giving them most thorough test feed lot three weeks ago and for the first fifteen days of feeding showed large and profitable gains. After being fed few weeks longer, they will be marketed, if the markets are right" They are fed all they will eat of ensilage and cake.
 "We feed the cake because the wind blows the meal away Edwin Patterson, manager of the Ravens wood farm, said. "We put up a large concrete silo which cost us about $10O0 and a wooden silo the same size, which cost us less 11zn half that price. The ensilage in the con crete silo is spoiled about six inches all the way around the silo In the wooden silo it, is sweet right up to the walls. Even if the concrete silo lasts longer. l doubt very much whether it is as profitable, as so much of the ensilage spells. called that to the attention Of some of the state experts who are urging the farmers to build only concrete and tile silos. They could offer, no explanation except that Of permar- ency, of the value of the concrete over wood" g.
 MT. Patterson plans to preserve his wooden silo in this fashion: Paint it outside once every two years, and as the ensilage is ! removed, give it a coat of linseed oil inside. A can of linseed oil is hung inside the silo. When four or five feet of ensilage are removed that part is given coat of oil-and so on down until all of it is oiled in that fashion. His friends who have tried it Say it will more than double the life of the wood silo at little expense.

100000
Sheep Every Year In The Thir.
ty.six Farming
States.

Washington. d. C April 16.-The
number of sheep in the thirty-six
farm States. which do not include
any in the Western Division, could
be increased by $50 per cent. 1t is es'
timated. without displacing other
live stock. Some authorities believe
that the increase could be even as
much as 500 per cent. without Sc
rious interference with the number
of other animals. An increase OF
$50 per cent. in these thirty-six
States would mean in money $144,'
267, 900. In q new publication of the
Department of Agriculture. Farmers
Bulletin 652, the responsibility for
this loss TO the country is laid upon
the sheep-killing dog.
Sheep-killing dogs, it is said. are
the principal cause of the marked de-
crease in the numbers of sheep on
American farms. In the ten years
between 1900 and 1910 the number OF
sheep in the country, exclusive OF
the States in the Western Division.
decreased 5000. 900 head. in face OF
the fact that during these same
years the market value of sheep rose
so rapidly that the total value OF
sheep in this area was $40. 600. 600 or
approximately 81 per cent. more in
1910 than in 1900. Favorable though
the market conditions were. they
we're not sufficient incentive to in
duce farmers to risk the heavy loss
es from stray dogs.
The number of sheep killed an
nually by dogs cannot be stated ex-
actly since there are many cases
which are not reported at ali. Judg-
ing from the figures in those coun-
ties and States in which reasonably
complete reports are obtainable,
however, it may be said that 10 the
thirty-six farm States more than
100000 sheep are killed each year by
dogs.
