The idea of teaching parrots to talk
BY means of the monograph originat-
ed In the brain of woman Mrs. ia
cob Hope of Philadelphia. she has
proved anew that opportunities for re-
munerative work lie all about US, often
just where we are, If we only shake
our wits up and recognize them.
Mrs. Hope keeps what might be call
ed school for parrots. Teaching
these birds to talk by the human voice
is slow and very firing to the speaker.
Sometimes It is necessary to continue
with the same phrase six months be-
fore bird learns it. But. then, q
parrot that can talk well sells some
times for $50; one that cannot for
only $40 to So So an intelligent bird
Is worth taking pains with
In the beginning the parrots In
structor puts class of perhaps doz-
en- birds together IN room with the
phonograph She has made the records
for this herself. so as to have the right
sentences. Many times the phonograph
must say the words before the birds
timidly begin to repeat them The best
pupils are In time singled out and put
into separate rooms, each with phono'
graph to itself.

become the possessor Of number of
live pets Making pictures of these
furnished her with several years of
artistic practice and training. She was
made a member of the Royal Society

and spirited pictures Of sea gulls-
Once while she was sketching captive

How TO water, Fertilize and Pot
Them.
Few need to be told Of the infinite
variety and beauty Of form and exqui.
site shades and tints which are to be
found ia the fern class Of plants. One
cannot here 60 into details as to the
management of each species, but for
tunately the chief points IN fern eui
sure do not differ materially, says the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
One OF the essentials IS a good supply
Of water and to enable the soil to with
stand the effects Of frequent watering
without being turned sour all pots or
other receptacles should be exception
ally well drained and the soil itself
made extremely porous,
A frequent cause of disaster to ferns
Of delicate root action is overpotting
and using too deep body of soil in the
pots A good depth Of soil may be suit
able for some of the strong growing
pterises, but for delicate adiantums
and all ferns that spread themselves by
creeping. as rhizomes, it is especially
wrong to pot. or plant in a big body of
soil for with these the soil is merely
medium through which the necessary
moisture is conducted to the plants.
and if too much is used it is soon rem
dered unfit to perform its work, and
the roots die out.
Ali potting should be carried out in
spring just as the new fronds of the
year are about to appear In splitting
plants be careful that each division is
well provided with roots and crown, so
that they will soon make a good and
shapely plant
The soil used in potting may be half
fbrous loan, broken up as roughly as
can be used, with leaf mold, earth and
sand In equal proportions. The whole
should be incorporated with finely bro
ken brick or charcoal
Ferns may be raised from spores, the
operation being somewhat delicate
one. Shallow pans should be filed
with rocks. and on these should be
placed a few thin layers of lumpy soil.
Press the soil fat, watering well, and
then place over the surface a few
fronds which are well supplied with
ripe brown spores. The pan should be
placed in damp and shady corner
and covered with sheet Of glass.
This may be watered by partly miners
ing the pan, taking care not to let the
water rise to the level Of the surface.
Rhizomatous ferns may be Increased
by securing lump of soil to the
rhizome near the end and severing this
portion when root has formed.
In spring fertilize ferns at least once
week with bone meal; the washings
of a bird cage is also good for them.
They should be bathed occasionally in
tepid water. They require but little
sunlight. Treated in this way the
ferns viii grow majestically.

How to Clean Fine Glass.

Fine glass needs constant care For
cleansing purposes, says the New York
Globe, small quantity Of muriatic
acid may be poured into glasses that
have become discolored. After allow
ing the acid to remain short time fill
up the glasses with water. They will
soon become bright and clear Potato
parings may be utilized for cleaning
glass to great advantage. Place the
parings in dish and allow them to
remain four or I've hours. then wash
the dish with warm soapsuds. Wipe
the dish dry as soon as washed A

$50 "
A florist of many years experience
gives the following recipe for presery-
ing bouquets, says the Chicago News:
when you receive bouquet sprinkle
1t lightly with fresh water; then put it
into a vessel containing some soap-
suds, which nourish the roots and keep
the flowers as bright as new. Take a
bouquet out Of the suds every morning
and lay it sideWise In fresh water, the
stock entering first into the water.
Keep it there minute or two, then
take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly with pure water. Replace the
bouquet in the soapsuds, and the flow
ers will bloom as fresh as when first
gathered The soapsuds need to be
changed every third day. BY observ-
ing these rules bouquet can be kept
bright and beautiful for at least a
month and will last still longer in a
very passable state"

POINTS ON FEEDING

According to the Kansas experiment
station, soy beans have the quality Of
producing softness in butter. Cotton
seed meal has the opposite effect from
the soy bean meal-it hardens butter.
With soy beans and cottonseed meal
available it is therefore possible for the
private dairyman to so regulate the
ration of his cows that he can produce
butter of any desirable consistency.
Feed and Per Cent of Fat.
Experiments show comparatively lit
tie Influence of feed in the percentage
of fat says an exchange. The Yer
mont station, after five years tests, con-
cluded that cows on early pasture
make more and richer milk than dur
ing the last months of their barn life.
Professor Henry says that the milk
from pasture contains less water and
that the higher fat content is always
accompanied by higher percentage Of
total solids. He states broadly that
succulent feeds have no deleterious eff
feet upon the composition of milk, but
