The Eook (Carvus frugUegus).
Abundant. Recent discussions in agricultural quarters have placed this bird in a somewhat doubtful position. That rooks commit mischief cannot, we think, be called in question; but that they also do great service, in devouring noxious larvae and other farm insect-pests, is equally true. The question is, on which side does their daily habit preponderate? The following fact, commu- nicated to an Edinburgh newspaper during a late controversy on this point, seems to sho...w that their appearance on newly-sown fields is not necessarily associated with bird damages: — "I put a boy," says the writer, " to keep them off a field of six acres sown with wheat in October. The season was wet and cold, so the boy got under a tree in the comer, made his little fire, and enjoyed himself. So did the rooks on every part of the field except that within stone-throw of the comer. In this portion of the field the wheat was wretched; but wherever the rooks had eaten up the slug or the wire-worm, the crop was plentiful." The Jackdaw (Conms monedula).
