TEACHING .PoLLNr TO nnNk.
Proof Of the Association OF Ideas 10 a Birds
Mind

M. PIERCE Hatchet Souplet,
writing in a French contempo-
rary on the intelligence of birds
and ANIMALS, relates remarkable
accomplishment on the part of a
parrot, says Golden Henry. He
admits that the bird was au ex-
ceptionally clever specimen, aud
he considers It's achievement in
dicates the high water mark of
possibilities in this direction 80
far as parrots are concerned.
He had taught Polly to use the
words cupboard" and "ladder, +"
and as he clim bed the ladder he
had succeeded in inducing the
bird to artlculate the word
"climb. " Every day when the
bird was brought into the labora.
tory a small cupboard was open.
ed and Polly helped herself to
hempseed. One day however, IN.
stead of the cupboard being
placed where she could reach it,
it was hauled up near the ceiling,
and the ladder was placed among
several other articles in the cor.
ner of the room. The question
to be decided was whether the
bird, seeing that the cupboard
was out of M. Souplet's reach,
would have sufficient intelligence
to use words it knew in their
proper sequence. The first days
experiment was a failure. The
bird screeched cupboard ! cup.
board :" beating its wings and
biting the bars Of its cage in an.
ger, but it got no further. That
day the bird received millett,
which it did not care for, the
hempseed, which it was fond Of
being locked up in the cupboard.
Next day Polly was in a greater
temper than ever, and after a
desperate effort to break through
the bars of her cage she finally
caught sight of the cupboard near
the ceiling. Instantly came the
words Ladder - climb cup
board, and Polly having learned
her lesson, the cupboard was
brought down and she was re-
warded with some hempseed.-
NJ. Souplet looked upon this Incl.
dent as proof of the association
of ideas in the birds mind, as no
one had ever taught the parrot
the phrase she created.

Figuring Profit on Beef.

From Farmers Review: 1t seems
that men are like a flock of sheep
when one starts they all follow. When
they saw that the corn crop was as
sured feeders went crazy over cattle,
and it seems that they thought that
short feed would let them into the
early market, and secure them some
of the high prices of the past They
did not consider the fact that the
price of cattle had been too high for
the export trade to handle, and that
there had been the best grass for
grazing, lasting well into winter
months, making cheap beef to come
on the market along with the early
fed cattle. There seems to be too
many lightweight cattle fed and
thrown onto the market during De-
cember and anuary-months when
people consume poultry, game, pork,
etc. 1t is the amateur cattle feeder
that throws his cattle on the market
generally half fat. They try to feed
too many, do not understand feeding,
do not know how much corn il will
take to fatten their bunch and get
scared and sell for whatever price
they can get. Then there is another
class Of feeders that think 100 days
is long enough to feed a steer, when
in reality he has just got his steers
warmed up and should be fed 60 days
longer to finish him up right. There
is a class of farmers that think there
can be no money made feeding 40
cent corn to cent cattle, and will
throw their cattle onto the market
half fat to stop the loss, making the
loss heavier, getting no advance over
the first cost price of the steer. This is
what hurts in cattle feeding | have
done well in feeding light cattle. |
can always buy them cheaper. nearly
81 on the hundred less than heavy
feeders cost. With two-ffths of a
bushel of corn | put on two and one
fourth pounds to the steer and one
and one-half pounds on the hogs that
follow. | commence feeding the last
of November and feed till the LIST OF
May.
Two-fifths of a bushel of corn costs
16 cents. Two and one-fourth pounds
of grain on a steer at cents a pound
make liz cents. One and one-half
pound of gain on the hog at cents a
pound makes cents. This gives a
total Of 20H cents for every two-fifths
of a bushel of corn. Now, my little
cattle cost cents, and | am pretty
sure to get V cents a pound Cor them
the first of May. That will be 81 ad-
vance over cost price of cattle, which

Der. This will enhance the price |
