Guiding Chemical Personalities From

ton of foods and drugs. DR.. Wiley
already has proposed for the use of
the congress as the basis OF argu-
ment and discussion the standards
of purity for foods adpoted by the
Department of Agriculture OF the
United States.
Such an international congress is
of the utmost Importance" said DIR.
Wiley in discussing the matter. par

campaign that is now being waged
in all countries against frauds and
authorizations. 1t will unity effort;

only after the hulls were removed. He seemed
to care little for fruits and berries, and if the
pulp happened to adhere to his beak, he would
at once seek a perch, on which he would
wipe his bill with much vigor and thorough
ness, as if disguised with himself for having
been tempted with such sticky stuff. Consid-
cred from an economic viewpoint, the habits
of this bird went to confirm the testimony of
others that the species do little harm in field
or orchard, and that they accomplish much
good in the destruction of harmful insects and
seeds of noxious weeds.
While the gurging. chuckling notes of the
males, with ruffled feathers and dropping
wings, could hardly be called song, this bird
when in his cage and when helped along with
some promptings, was at times quite diligent
in his vocal exercises. Some of the sounds.
including CHEEKY whistle of two notes, were
musical enough; but the best of them seem
not to have been heard by many casual OBJ
servers. John Burroughs at time said
that the blackbirds should not be classed as
songsters. At another time, when comparing
English and American songbirds, he said the
English had no songsters to match certain
ones of this country-and the nine birds men
toned included the COW bunting.

stinct of self preservation. this bird was not
wild in the sense that he was disposed to es-
cape; and whether perching some ones
hand, flying from one person to another, or
amusing himself in the house or yard, he was
happy and most interesting pet. Every
morning he was given an opportunity to try
his wings; and free as a bird" described his
movements in whatever direction he cared to
go. Sometimes he would take to the upper
air. disporting himself in irregular flights +:
sometimes he would circle as if keeping an eye
on his starting point, returning after little
while to the finger from which he had taken
fight.
1t would be interesting to discover whether
the maternal instinct may be latent in these
birds; and to know what might be the be-
havior of a pair under such favorable condi
lions, relieved of the struggle for existence
provided in season with their favorite style
of nest, and with no accommodating foster
bird in sight May it not be that for all these
years the cowbird has been a standing
challenge to the reformers; and that, if shown
how to mend her ways, this poor, deluded
mother would silence her well meaning
critics by bringing up her children as
people think young birds should be brought
up?
