VOLUME XIV
THE VILLAIN MAGPIE
A TlllKK AM) A Ml'IIKKKCII
For several years. Mri. II. E.
Harbison of Morgan hai noticed
the disappearance of her early
hatched chlckeni and haa been
mystified concerning the cause,
She has finaly discovered that it
is the work of magpies, having
haying lost over 100 young chicks
this spring.
These magpies have been
caugbi in the act of pouncing
down and carrying off the young
chicks. In one instance one was
seen eating a chicken nearly a
half pound in weight, which It
had killed but eould not carry
way. These thieves do not stay
around the premises, having be
come ary by being shot at, but

swoop down from dittant points
like hawka and then cairy awey
their piey.
Mr, Harbison has recently tried
to destroy these birds by meant
of poisoned meat attached to a
high stake but without resultM
owing to the plentiful supply of
young chicken which is more ap
petizing to the magpies. Oiher
poultry ralaers along WiilowCreek
might profitably take stock of
their own losses and would proba
bly find that they came from the
same cause. Unremitting war on
the.e birds by all concerned at
every season of the Tear would
eem to be a good method of
protecting Morrow County's poul
try industry.
