The kIOcking Bird.

This bird possesses faculties which rem
der it ono of the great objects of curiosity
and admiration among the fcathcred tribes.
Its natural notes are musical and solemn
1t likewise possesses the singular power of
assuming the tone of other birds and ami
mails. This extraordinary bird is peculiar
to the new world, inhabiting warm eli
mates, and low country seems most con-
genial to their nature; they arc more
numerous in tho South. The berries of
red cedar, myrtle, holly, gum-bcrrics, and
an abundance of others, with which the
luXuriant swampy thickcts of these regions
| abound, furnish them with perpetual
feast. IIo builds his nest in different
places, according to the latitude he resides
in. A solitary thornbush, orange, cedar or
holly tree arc favoritc spots Always ready
to defend, but never anxious to conceal his
| nest. During the time the female is SET
| ting, neither cat or dog, animal or man can
approach the nest without boing attacked.
! Ills whole vengeance is directed against his
natural enemy the back snake; whenever
this reptile is discovered, tho mate darts at
| it with the rapidity of all arrow, striking
it violently and incessantly against the
head; the snake soon becomes inscnsiblc,
and the bird rcdoubcs his cxcrtions, he
seizcs and lifts it from the ground, beating
il with his wings until the business is COM
pleted; he returns to his nest and pours
out Il torrent of song in token of victory.
| The mocking birds is so called because it
can initiate with the greatest ease, not only
the songs of other birds, but the sounds
and cries OF animals. In confinement he
loses little of the power and energy of
his song, In his domcstcated state, when
he commences his career of song, 1t is I'M
possible to stand by unintcreslcd. Hc
whistles for the dog-Cpsar starts up, wags
his tail and runs to meet his master. He
squcaks out like young chicken and the
| hen runs about with outstrctchcd wings
and bristlcd feathers clucking, to protect
her brood. The barking of dog, the
mcwing OF cat. the crcaking of a wheel
barrow, the grating of a grndstonc and
the rushing OF torrent of water, follow
with grcad truth and rapdity. In regard
to food we give the following: Take two
Old potatoes (ncvcr give them new oncs)
pare and boil them, also boil two gosd
sized eggs, remove them from the shell,
mash them fine with the potatoes, then put
away in cool place; give a large spoon
full every hour or SO, feeding him by hand
just as you would an infant. In the month
OF August Or September, bit of sweet
app,e may be occasionally added. ~ table
spoonful of ants eggs soaked and mixed
with tis food viii prove beneficial. In
the cage place plenty of river sand, sprink-
ling it freely on the bottom; also give them
plenty OF water to drink, and bath once
day in the morning; never allow the
bath tub to remain long in the cage; after
the bird has bathed, remove it, as there
is probable dangnr of the bird being
drowned.

CAKE.-BefOre commencing to make
cake, bO sure that you have all the in
gradients III the house, and all the i'm
plements at hand, such as trays. bowls,
large dishes, large, strong iron spoon,
egg-beaters, etc. Use mono but the
best family flour in making cake. 1t is
a good plan to silt It before Weighing
or measuring it, and to let 1t mir and
sun several hours before using it; as
this makes 1t much lighter. 1t is a
great mistake to set aside rancid or in
different butter for cake making. The
butter used for the purpose should be
good and fresh. Always use granu-
lated sugar or else powdered loaf or cut
sugar, Jas pulverizcd sugar is apt to
have plaster of Paris or other foreign
elements in 1t, Never use brown or
ever clarified sugar In cake making,
unless 1T be for gingerbread. Do not
attempt to make cake without fresh
eggs. Cream of tartar, soda and yeast
powders are poor substitutes for these.

not break them over the vessel in which
they are to be beaten. Break them one

you retain in tho egg shell to the other
