Along the hillsides where my
home is [»lured crows assemble in
vast numbers. Is it only instinct
that loads them to set a sentinel on
guard when they pull corn or ma
raud the birds’ nests? Blackbirds
do the same, and they have kept me
on a merry chase—-merry for them
—just at church time., to get them
out of my corn. But in Florida
these same birds do not set a guard
while hopping all over our gardens.
Why? I think because they are
catching bugs and know they will
not offend us. ('rows roost at a dis
tance from their nests. Why? 1
think the reason is that they are
afraid of endangering the limbs
where the nests are placed.
Co-operative moral order sends
the kingbird today to join the crow
in fighting the deadly hawk, but an
other day 1 find him fighting the
same crow that is stealing a young
robin for his dinner. Why do the
English sparrows not invade my
acres at Clinton? They are all about
me in vast numbers, just across the
street, and they jabber in crowds
quite within my hearing, yet hardly
once or twice a year does a single
sparrow show himself inside mv line.
If this is instinct, it is very recently
acquired instinct, for I bail a seri
ous task in teaching them that it
was unsafe to intrude.
Why do my bees refuse to allow
one of my hired men to approach
the hives? It cannot be instinct,
although I confess I cannot trace
out the logic involved. Why do two
of my hens follow a cow hour after
hour about the pasture? Not in
stinct, I am certain, but these two
have discovered what the others
have not, that the cow’s motions
stir up grasshoppers and crickets.
After my father’s death his dog led
strangers into the house, holding
their hands in his teeth, and be
watched to see if harm was meant.
Was that good logic or was it mere
instinct ?
During a warm summer shower I
saw an angleworm try to draw a
stick into its hole, holding it by the
middle. After a vain effort of this
sort, it deliberately felt its way to
the end of the stick and then drew
it easily into the ground. Its din
ner of soft bark was secured. Was
this incipient reason? What in
stinct could have taught that logical
process. »Science published my notes
on the subject at the time with ap
proval. Personally, 1 do not believe
that there is an entire absence of
these logical processes front any part
of living nature—not even from
the ovoid cell in which life first ap
pears. 1 am convinced that the uni
verse is charged with reason and
that instinct is only a byproduct of
universal thought.—E. P. Powell in
