Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     The crow bounty law, which goes into effect July 1, will probably create a new industry in Illinois. By the terms of this law every crow’s egg will be worth five cents at the county treasurer’s office. What is to hinder a man from securing several pairs of crows and going into the crow egg business? Crow’s eggs at 60 cents a dozen beats hen’s eggs about 100 per cent. The law makes a fixed market for crow’s eggs and the price will be the same the year around. Each female crow in a year’s time will lay from ten to a dozen eggs. Some little domestication may be necessary to train crows to barn yard habits, but there is no reason why the ingenuity of man may not overcome this obstacle.-Pontiac Sentinel.
