live (my crows, at leat,) lor the
whole year, Early and late they
are busy . doing us good. They
carry wagon loads of worms oft'
from our farm.. "Without them
and the other birds we could not
live. They do so milch for us wo
can well afford to twine our con
fields; (I mean before the corn m
up,) when I will warrant they will
not touch your corn. At least, my.
crows don't pull my corn.
My hired men are all crazy iy
shoot my crows. " Why," mid one,
I could have killed live at one
shot, where they had come to da
me another favor. You can raise
a late'calfon purpose to have one
to pay a crow tax with. I mort

answer, v Xo, my double-barrel .

that goes around when ith blacker

they will come irr the furrow to-
pick up grubs, beetles, moles and
worms, and crowd up so near that
I can talk with them ; and I have

so on through the whole list of des

him credit for pulling a few hills of
