tribe, except 'lie piping crow, tbe re.
production of human speech seou,* I"
be more a trie* of mluiacry than ud
effort to acquire a substitute for sonc.
Parrots iuvuhIin and sonic cockatoo*
take infinite pain* to learu correctly
and increase their stock o' phrase*.
But tie magpie or jay mimics what it
finds easy, and takes no further

Imposing si*e. it attracts more ait. n*
llon 'ban a t buttering jnv. The raven
is the largest creature except tuan that
can "talk." t.tut fancy and superstition
have naturallv exaggerated it* powers.
But the i row tribe, though n clever
as the parrots, are not so easily do-
mesticated. and their bcais and
tongue;. nre less well suited for
the musical sounds of human speech.
Most of the parrots, and some
cockatoos and macaws, have both the
mental and physical gift* necessary to
inako them excel in talking. Carrot*
of all classes li ve fleshy tongues,
moistened with saliva, and the arched
beak provides a substitute for our
palate nnd teeth. They have also
wide nostrils ami their natural voices
are loud ouough and strong enough to
•qua! tho volume of hum n speech
Ju disposition they are highly imtta-
tive. Cockatoos are almost like mon-
keys iu mimicking men. For iuatance,
if you bow to ilieii' ihey will make
elaborate bows. If you put your
bead on one side they will often do so
too. But with many parrots the do-
«1fyv* to 'earn new rounds is not, we
a n,en! ,ri,>l4 *>f mimicry, but
Se desiro to possess a song—an ac-
complishment with which to please,
identical in kiud wlih the motive
whlcb prompts the yot ng of singing
birds to learn their parents' notes, or.
in the caso of the canary, to learn an ',
improve upon a witig. uot their own,
which they have transmitted to their
posterity.
The following account of the develop-
ment of the talking power in n young
perro' of which we haves'ecu much late-
ly is. we submit a strong c.uiiirmation
of Ibis view. Uur informant .« a ladv
wbot>e sympathies are by in means
limited to parrots, ns the context will
show, and h- r observations are wholly
reliable: "We bought Barry," she
writes, "when he was quite young, be-
fore his feathers are fully grown, and
we had him a year before he l>e„- n to
talk. Theu he began la make \ cry
odd uolses. as if bo was trying to say
words, but could uot (juitc Uu it. Now
be constantly learns new words and
sentences, and early in the morning 1
bear him practicing them over to hit:;-
self, exactly :<* our babies used to do
in the early morning hours iu bed. 1
be improves ns much in the next ten
year* as he has iu the lust he should
be able to recite a poem if we tiacu
him." There is no reason why a
parrot sbouid not coutinue to increase
' is stock of phrases s he grows older.
>l tbe supposition that he looks upon
It as an accomplishment for which he
is in some way the belter, is correct.
The butcher bird, for instance, and tho
•edge warhlor do not rest satisfy 1
with learning their own notes, but
often learn and reproduco the notes of
other birds in gren' jierfecti >n. The
mockiug bird, which, like the sedtre
warbler, ha* a floe song of his own,
does the same. But the parrot has
tbe kdvnutuge in being very long-lived
end constantly in humou company.
The young parrot mentioned before
gave an excellent instance of the as-
sociation in its mind of words ith
things. Before ll could talk, it was
friendly with a kitten which used to
enter its cage. This kitten was sent
•way. and for a year there was not
another in the bouse. Then u gray
Persian kitten wa* bought, and when
Introduced to the parrot was at once
addressed as "Kitty," a word he hud
hardly beard since the departure of
the other. Tho c t recltu-ss of parrot*'
imitation, the resuit, no doubt, of their
careful practice, is remarkable. A
lady of the Dutch court, \>stt ug the
palace in tbn wood at the Hague, soon
•fter the death of the ate i^ucen of
Holland, was startled by hearing the
queen's voice exactly reprodn *d. It

The subjects of tho wast«s that are
continually going on ou most farms
and among mest farmers is one that
ucodt more thought and requires moixi
attention than almost any other part
of our farm work.
A prolific source o' this evil among
mauy Is carcles-ue**. and tho re uli
la of course, h a-J times and the tunny
privation* that follow. Tho v,utter
season v. ith many is one of compar-
ative Inn tivity. aud could bo profita-
bly employed iu & revision of the past
season's work aud its results In
doing so lot us make a note of all
mUlakoa and plan our next season s
work so that they will not occur
again.
The waste of tunc and materia are
among tho greater wastes, aud are,
there ore, the most to lie guarded
against. Tho former is more from
iaeic o! method thun anything el e,
and many a hard-working man wastes
much valoitble time by ri -nlug head-
long into hi* wor':, without having
taken proper time to think it over,
and lav his plans systematically.
By nnilclpuliug our work o are
enabled to plan il to the best advan-
tage ;jo*sible. By so doing we can ac-
complish much more ana rtlso wid
have tho satisfaction of having every-
thing pas* od smoothly and quietly
without any special effort. I'here are
innumerable things about a farm that
can be dono in the wint r, which, if
not attended to, will lake time during
the busy season.
Be ore the commencement of what
is termed the spring's work, every-
thing that is likely to be needed either
for tbe farm or household should be
provided, so that iu the event of a lale
spring, which I* a common occurrence
in this climate, not u d v would be
loit In tho forwarding of tho work on
hand. Tho waste of material is per-
haps the greatest waste with which
we have to contend. Carelessness In
regard to ibis has more to uo towani
making farmers unsuccessful than any
other one thing in the whole routine
of farm life.--Am. Cultivator.

Tho experience of tho Ohio station
people in trying to light the potato
blight with copper remedies, the past
•cason, bt>s not altogether been satis-
factory. Some rows were sprayed with
the Bordeaux mixture, others *ith th.
ammonicai solution of carbonate o
copper, and some were loft without
treatment. Tho Bordeaux mixture
was made by adding six pounds of ■ on-
per sulphate nnd four pouuus 01 nine
to fifty gallons of water. The carbon-
ate mixture was made by adding six
ounces of copper carbonate to two
quarts of ammonia aud diluting with
fifty gallons of water. Four applica-
tion*, by spraying, were made during
ing the season. The blight 1 nine and
cons inued to increase in severity cur-
ing July and the first half of August.
Little difference in the degree of <if-
fection could be detected between tho
vines untranted and those to which tho
carbonate solution had been applied.
The dieapoiotment for me lies es-
pecially in tho statement that
even tho rows treated with
the Bordeaux in I <iu re were attacked
to a considerable extent. Still, Hero
wa* a decided difference between them
and the oibers. By tbe . th of August
tbe plants were practically all do id
except in the Bordeaux mixture rows,
which were yet green and growing.
Tho difference, indeed, was very strik-
ing. nnd the Bordeaux mixture rows
held out two weeks longer than tho
others. Consequently, there was u
decided Increase in yield in these rows.
Yet further experiments will bo nec-
essary to determine whether the blight
can be prevented entirely by the use
of fungicides, and whether this can be
done che ply enough to hnvo the in-
crease of crop compensate for the out-
lay. It seems to me that one (mint is
alrcaly well established, namely, that
th.< application must be begun early,
and before the blight has taken firm
hoid on tue plants. The whole in it-
rnent should be preventive r ather than
curative A eood knapsack sprayer
can now be had for $14, and I hope ad-
vantage will bo taken of tiiis by in ny
growers, so tho question can be defi-
nitely settled the coming season.
