extensive vocabulary. great memory
and unusual powers OF mimicry. He
repeats everything he hears, always.

Sometimes he is banished from the
countess apartments. Then those
who are near him talk in whispers or
on their fingers IAN ert the parrot has
not yet acquired; otherwise when he
went back to his place near the coun-
tess he would reel of every word he
had heard in the exact tone OF the
speaker, with dire results. as has Oft
en- happened.
He initiates the voice of the coun-
tess OF Flanders exactly and often Is
sues orders which seem to come from
her. throwing everything into confu-
sion.
The other day, when a new foreign
minister called for his first visit and
was being conducted into the salon, he
heard what seemed to be most uncom-
plimentary things said in the coun-
tess voice about himself and his
country. He started back in indigna-
ton. -

that this bird has had diplomatic
career. Charles Page Evans got 1t in

He looked SO scared, and contra

whence came the money and the par
eel, and finally said that In the tram
car he had met one OF his former
sweethearts-cook in swell house"
who had given him the forty francs
and the linen.
The story seemed all the more in
credible as he pretended to be ig-
norant of the name and address OF
this generous woman.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Selection and Care of Brood Sows
By o. Hull, Farmers Institute
Lecturer.

A few hints on the selection and
care Of brood d-sows may not be out Of
place at this time OF year. OF course,
the careful breeder has made his Sc
lection Of Sows for breeding long be-
fore this, but many farmers neglect
this work which is 50 important to
success in hog raising until just be-
fore time to commence breeding for
spring farrowing. This is not right;
as sows, designed for breeding, should
have been, not only properly selected, i,
but properly fed long before breeding
time, This applies, OF course, more to
the young sows to be bred this fall
They should be fed foods to develop
large frames, with good bone, rather
than fat making foods; foods that
contain large amount OF protein
and ash, such as alfalfa, wheat shorts,
oil meal or tankage.
Some of the things to look for in a
brood-sow: The head should be broad
between the eyes, denoting intelll-
gence, and short denoting easy feed
ing qualities. Ears shonld be m edium
in size and fine in texture. Back
should be strong and we'll arched.
mo feet no hog" should be the mot
to Of the man who Is selecting brood
sows Hoofs should be short and stand
erect. Legs should be fairly long so
the udder will not drag the ground
when sucking her young. The under
line should be long, hips broad and
the body deep.
In selecting brood-sow, be sure
that she. is gentle and easily handled.
A nervous, cross, hign strung SOW is
dear at any price. Having selected
the sows, how shall we feed and shell
ter them? In selecting the feeds, we
