milk and the laying Of eggs. The pres
ent annual output Of this product ex-
ceeds 600 tons. 1t Is used in all the
agricultural parts of France and is ex-
ported to Switzerland, Spain, Italy and
Germany.
This industry originated in La Ro
chelle. Heretofore the non-edible fish
found In the nets of the trawlers were
thrown into the sea, but now they are

rich in proteins and phosphates. 1t Is

Parrot Long Esteemed

Aristotle spoke of parrots as did
writer who lived century before him.
the latter describing bird that could
initiate sound and speak the Indian or
the Greek language, making 1t over two
thousand years that this member of
the feathered tribe has been known to
talk. Even II parrots had not been
able to speak they would have at
tracted attention because Of their brill
liant plumage. They used to be IA
vorite pets In Rome, where the great
ladies kept them in cages of tortoise
shell and silver wire. AS the Romans
of those days appreciated beautiful
fowls more thoroughly when served at
table (such as roast peacock sarnished
with their own feathers). so diu they
esteem the parrot as choice delicacy.
