QUEER TRAIT8 OF THE.JCRQW.
No Bird So Detested But None More Frequently Tamed.
No bird is better known to the farmer than the common American crow. No bird is so detested, but on the other hand none is more frequently tamed.
An old farmer out near Chatham. N. J., who has hunted crows for more than forty years, describes them as remarkable mixtures of intelligence and stupidity. "Each flock of crows has its king or leader whom the rest obey implicitly and without whom they become utterly demoralized and seem unable ro act for themselves," he says. "If you want to destroy a whole flock of crows the first thing to aim, at, is to kill the king. "I remember when I was a small boy an uncle of mine planted a large field of corn, which a flock of crows instantly selected as a feeding ground. For a long time they set at defiance aji efforts to disperse them. The king crow sat upon a tall tree, from which he surveyed the country for a great distance. As soon as my uncle or his man came in sight he would sound the signal of alarm, and be find all his followers would take flight but no sooner were the men too far away to shoot than the king would make the fact known and the entire flock would return. After wasting a quantity of ammunition and the greater part, of the morning without even shooting one of the rascals, my uncle hunted me up. 'Steve,' he said, 'you're pretty good with a gun. Now I'll tell you what—I'll give you a dollar for every crow you kill out in that field of in "I suppose he thought that, on the chance of earning a dollar, I would spend the next day or two chasing crows off his corn. Well, I- didn't say anything. I took my gun and started off that afternoon. They were the crows at work In the field and the king on the tall tree. "He caught sight of me as I came over the top of the hill, and gave the signal. I went on down the road, hid in some bushes just across from the field, and waited tor more than an hour but the crows seemed to have gone for the day. I decided to give up till the next morning, and started back up the road. Just as I disappeared over the top of the hill I heard a loud caw and, turning, beheld those crows coming in a swarm to settle on the field. Several times I tried to steal up the road on them, but it was no use. Then I resorted to strategy. "I went up the hill and quite a piece down the other side. Then, when I heard the king crow give the signal to return, I slipped behind the bushes by the roadside and succeeded in creeping all the way back without his catching sight of me. I picked him off easily, and as they did not hear him give the signal of alarm the other crows went on feeding until I had shot several of them. "Then I took the body of the king crow tied it to that of a large hawk which I had shot on my way there, and tossed them into the middle or the field. The crow is the most curious bird on earth. The whole flock came swooping down to solve the mystery of a crow and hawk lying there together. I shot and shot into their midst, but they never seemed to learn. "When all my shot was exhausted I went over to my uncle's and asked him to go see how much he pwed me. He went quickly enough, and counted ninety-seven crows. "After a while he came back to the house with an awful sober face. 'Steve,' he said, 'I guess I'll have to ask yc/u to let me off apart of that bargain we made. I didn't calculate exactly how good with a gun you are.' 'Well, I'll tell you, uncle,' I said. 'I've had a lot of sport this afternoon and if you'll give me back the dollar I spent on the shot to kijl those crows I guess it will be all right.' "I've never seen a dollar come out of a man's pocket as quick as that one did. "Often since I've used the body of a dead hawk to bring a crowd of crows within shooting distance, and I've never known it to fail. Somehow it is an object which seems to have a peculiar fascination for them, driving them clear out of their senses with curiosity. "Some farmers exterminate whole flocks of crows at once by sticking a stuffed owl up in a tree near where they congregate. All crows, you know, love to tease an owl. If crows are successfully decoyed by a stuffed owl, practically the -whole flock may be wiped out before they will abandon their fun. They will return again and again to tease the bird, in spite of the fact that some of their number are shot each time."
Hostesses' Trouble*
So many people are now vegetarians or faddists, nibble nuts, or munch a cauliflower, that hostesses are driven to their -wits' ends to invent new and tasty little dishes and forced to employ French cooks who can serve up eggs and vegetables^ macaroni and cheese in a hundred different ways.
