We have been a good many years learn Ing whut crows were made for, ami the les son is not rery well understood. Tills yen we are likely to get additional light. Th spring was wet in Ilookertown, ami better prospects for grass wero ne'cr held out. Th crop was good, but after it was githered th grub of the May. bug began to show tho re sulfa of its depredations, both In the pas lures and in the meadows. My attention was culled to them by th flocks of crows in the big pasture, and the abjoining fields. I did not suppose there were so many crows in the neighborhood. They frequent th shore in winter, coming long distances to feed upod tin clanr. banks, when food scarce elsewhere. But tbeir favorite diet in ummer seems to be the worms tbst com from the May-bug. They have great skill fn detecting the presence of this grub, and if therruwa were protected in their period of incubation, they would become so numer eus as to exterminate these post", or to re duce their numbtrs so much thatthey would do no serious damage. In some oi my field the grass roots are destroyed in large patches, so thstyou can serape off the stubble with rake. There can be no good crop of bay until these places are re seeded. For sever al generations war has been waged upon the crow, because he pulled corn out In the re tired fields on the edgesof woodland. Town and State have put bounties upon him, and lie baa been hunted at all atnges of the year, lo gel the bounty money. The boys have' sought out his nesting place, climbed tall trees, and cleaned his nest of the callow young. Men have put a dead carcass back of tho bsrn to entice him within gun shot, and he has been treated as a deadly enemy. He lis! been branded with a bad name, and "scareerow" hss been applied to all those Bon deserlpt contrivances that disfigure cornfields to keep off th birds. Still he vindicates his right to be, and the response which Nature makes to this unreasoning warfare Is, "Protect the crow or do worte." A few hills of corn In the spring time is small damage compared to the grass crop of a whole farm destroyed by grubs. On the whole, the wiseacres at the State capital make poor work at mending the legislation of the Almighty. Take care of the crows, and the crows will take care of your grubs. Tm IluMExa, In American Agriculturist for February, PEEP AB ING PEACH STONES. Several have asked how to prepare peach stones for planting. They are probably aware, that v. hen the slones are kept dry all winter ami then planted in spring, very few, if any, will germinate. In nurseries, the alnnea are not allow, d to get very dry, -but they are stratified or bedded just before wjoter sets in. The usual manner Is, to -mark out th liniita of the bed ami ei-reid th slones over It to the depth ol two or three inches g the stones aro then spadtd in as If turning under a dressing of manure. By this operation they are distributed througbnd well. mixed with thesoil.wliere thoy are are left to freeze and thaw all will ter. This treatment causes the halves of the stone to separata and the presturo within of the swelling teed can push them apart This msy be eflVcled by other methods than that sfspadlug in. The stones are some, times spresd upon the ground and mveird with sient Un.bark or snwdut to the depth of three to five inches, and thin exposed to the weather. In spring, wheu the ground Is resdy to plcnt, the stones lhat huvo been spaded .in are separated by throwing the sw.il of the bed upon a riddle, such ss is used masons t the earth falls through while the stones are left upon the riddle. Those tlajl have been under tan nrtnwdust are more easily recovered at planting Umc.Amtri can Agricvlturitt for February. L - - . .
