THE 0OLOOIST. 



Shrewdness of the Ckow. — It is well 

 known that a Crow is one of the most diili- 

 cult of birds to approach, and it is only 

 « ith extreme caution and a thorough ac- 

 quaintance with the habits of this bird, that 

 a person can get ;» decent shot at one. It 

 is erroneous to believe that he smells the 

 |wwdcr of a -inn ; that is as far from the 

 true cause of its shyness, as England is 

 from America. 



You cannot approach a Crow alone, ci- 

 ther with or without a gun in open ground, 

 hut you might easily approach and kill one 

 mi a horse or a wagon. The Crow, of 

 course. Is not alarmed at such an object.
