Birds from Every Climo.

The canary birds bred in Germany
not only possess naturally song Of hne
quality, but quickly learn new ones, as
well as the tricks which fanciars delight
In. This is said to be true especially of
the Hartz Mountain canaries. Those
bred in the village of St. Andreasberg,
where great care is exercised in the ma
ting of choice specimens only, command
attention by the compass OF the notes
acquired. As soon as they are old
enough 10 be taken from the nest their
songs are cultivated and multiplied III
number by keeping them in room
with nightingale or other songster,
whose song they learn to initiate. The
bulliinch is bird which has no natu-
raj song, but is gifted with the ability
of initiating with some accuracy, in a
sweet flute tone, any air repeatedly
whistled in its hearing. Ii is = great
favorite among collectors of birds. Its
training begins as soon as the bird is
taken from the nest. The tune il is de-
sired to initiate is whistled or played
on some instrument by the trainer sew
eral times during each day until it
learns to pipe the same.
Notable among talking birds is the
African parrot, with ashen-gray body,
black bill, white face and scarlet tail.
At 4 noted fancier's there is an
excellent talker of this breed, which
also possesses odd tricks OF barking,
whistling and singing. The Mino bird,
4 native OF Calcutta, is also numbered
with other attractive talking birds.
Birds in favor just now as pets and
household ornaments are the numerous
family OF inches, which are usually
collected in one immense cage forming
an aviary of from twenty TO thirty
birds. To Africa, Asia, Australia and
Japan we are indebted for these little
creatures commonly known under the
names OF African finehes and japanese
nuns. These birds seem to be thor
oughly happy in each others society
incline to sit III rows packed closely to-
SCNAS4- tLS.A pt0liiaSS Va 'S4Aoe' NUS
forming Z rainbow effect. Included in
modern comprehensive collection
are the South American TrOOpiaP re-
markable for its beautiful plumage and
powerful song; the Brazilian Cardinal,
whistIing bird oc the tropics; the
American mOcking-bird, Of unrivalled
fame As 4 songster, and the Startling Of
wonderful memory.

was educated b. Randolph, and was

AGRICULTURE.

HIETs on DRAEaSE.-BGt.i 1t VIII De
asked, How shall l know whether my
lands reed draining? How shall !
know whether the draining will pay
for its expense? 1ou may know THIS
by the poor or unsatisfactory crops
you now raise; b. their suffering in q
wet time, also in drouth: by the land
being wet late in the spring before 1t
can be put In; by its taking long to dry
off after 4 heavy rain. BY thinking
back you will know whether this is the
case With all your land, or with part of
it. You may be helped in your think
ing by comparing your soil with river
or brook soil. All this Will help. But
there is better way than all, and it Is
always reliable. Dig hole two and a
half or three feet drop; foot hole will
answer, and is an excellent way where
you build a post fence TO determine.
II water settles in the bottom in dry
time, you need no better evidence, your
land then needs draining, and will pay
for il in better crops in from two TO
four years, the post hole is sure test.
According TO the rise OF the water In
it Will he the necessity of drainage and
the beneliJ resulting from il. a little
explanation here is necessary. One or
two holes are not sufficient for test
unless the soil is uniformly charged
with water. Land that seeEcs dry
enough (clay SOLD, yet doesn't act right,
as we have shown, should be tested in
different part. of the field, as often in
such soil there are seems where gravel
or loan prevails, and if the test is made
here there will OF course be no water,
whereas ten feet from where water
may show. Sometimes, in fencing 3
field, half the holes have water; some-
times the number is less, sometimes
more. Whatever the nature of the soil,
the post-holes will tell. The test can
be made almost any time, if the ground
is not frozen too deep, even in q moist
I time il not saturated. The best time is
in the fall, but may be done in the win
ter If the season is not too severe. Re
member, the drainage will at once take
place, as soon as the ditch is dug; and
in the spring you will have dry land,
fit to plow or sow and almost two weeks
earlier Ii you have no time or means
to ditch largely, test little Dig the
holes in the different fields or places,
where you wish TO test, If the water
settles in, dig few ditche. about ten
yards apart, and three feet deep. Four
feet would be better but three will dc
for test. Get somebody to show you
how 10 lay the drain who understands
it, If you DO not know yourself. Re-
member it must be done well. or it
might as well not be done. \ closed
drain is just no drain g. 81.
