HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
A Farmers Experience With Crows.
A city paper tells of the experience of
a Long Island farmer with crows, ns
follows: This farmer founded his anti
crow method upon the fact that crows
are accustomed to rely upon the scare
crows to Inform them of the locality of
cornfields. He owned a large farm, part
of which was devoted to corn, part to
potatoes, part to turnips and part to
cabbage. He took the precaution of
sowing the seed by moonlight, an hour
after the crows' bedtime, so that they
could not watch him, and when all was
ready he spent nearly an entire forenoon
In rigging up an Imposing scarecrow In
the turnip field. During the afternoon
he noticed that there was a great deal of
excitement among the crows, who were
earnestly digging for corn and finding
none, and about 4 o'clock he saw them
desert the field and hold a mass meeting
in an elm tree, where they passed reso
lutions with all the order of a Demo
cratlc Convention.
The next morning the farmer re
moved the scarecrow to the potato-field,
loudly remarking to his assistant as he
did so that he could not understand how
he had made the mistake of putting the
scarecrow in the turnip-field. As be
fore, the crows flocked around the scare
crow and dug up the ground, confident
that this time they would "stiike it
rich" In corn. Their subsequent lan
guage was something frightful, and their
opinion of the farmer was expressed In
terms that an Arkansas editor In his
most earnest moments could not rival.
The next day the farmer removed the
scarecrow to the cabbage-field. This
time the crows did not wait for him to
leave the field, but began to dig while
he was still at work. In a very few
moments they were satisfied that there
was no corn in that field. In their rage
they fell upon the farmer and drove him
into the house, after which they flew
away,- and not a crow has since been
seen within ten miles of the place. Be
yond any doubt, this is the true way in
which to treat crows, and were it to be
generally followed by farmers, the crow
would either starve to death or would be
driven out of the country.
A Good and Wholesome Harvest Drink.
As alcohol drinks have happily long
been driven from the harvest fields, there
have been various drink besides water
substituted, but scarcely any of them
meeting fully the conditions sought for
in the way of a wholesome satisfying
beverage. Water, even in all its purity,
does not seem to quench the thirst and
stimulate the body, as it produces addi
tional perpsiration and passes through
the pores almost like a passing through
a colander, leaving the system exhausted
and weak ; besides, a drink of cold wa
ter, when suffering under a great de
gree of heat, is dangerous, even at
times producing sudden death. Latter
ly in England and elsewhere a drink is
prepared by mixing oatmeal with wa
ter, In the proportion of three or four
ounces to a gallon of water. This is
found not only to satisfy the thirst bet
ter than water, even when tempered
with vinegar or other acid, but to pro
duce additional strength of body. Oat
meal possesses a peculiar aroma and acts
as a very active stimulant to the surface
of the skin as to cause the complete
digestion of the liquid. Men employed
in an atmosphere of the intensest heat
are much comforted with it, and become
very fond of it. Hence it is in a meas
ure "vituals and drink," possessing
only virtues and without any drawbacks
whatever.
Just now the time is here to give it a
trial ; and we shall be glad if at the end
of the season those substituting the oat
meal and water will make report as to
the results.
Render Rural Homes Attractive.
The importance of making country
homes more attractive has already been
urged upon the readers of this journal,
but the matter is one which will bear
frequent mention. It is especially in
order now, as spring is the season in
which to improve country, village and
suburban homes. In a recent lecture
Kegent J. M. Gregory, of the Industrial
University of Illinois, sought to stimu
late the growing disposition to reuder
country and village homes attractive, by
showing that beauty has a decided mar
kct value. " For example, of two farms
of equal excellence, the one on . which
. the grounds about the buildings are
tastefully planted with shade trees and
ornamented by flower beds and well
kept lawns, will sell quickest, and for
most money, besides contributing most
to the comfort of the daily life of the
owner and his family." These are co
gent reasons Increased , value of preni
ises, , and comfort of occupants and
should be heeded by all whose home
steads present an unattractive appearance.
