"Manuel Moreno is a good man. and honest, and knows quite R lot

or older; but. he is very well

served and in good plumage. eyes are brigii' and he is It and enjoying life. Where do take him?"

"To England. Sir."

"Then be most. careful. He comes from a mighty hot place. Lake Titi- caca. Keep him at the best tem- perature to be found in England - it indeed you can talk of teiiipcra- turns in that island.”

Suddenly the parrot interveiied. He had not as yet spoken in his new owners hearing. nor did he say much now. but he spoke a name, and to their surprise Jacob Fernandez rccogii:zcd rt.

THE BIRD SPEAKS "Benny Ross! Flciiiiy Floss! Ben- ny Boss!" cried the bird lniidly. and rattled off a rigiiiarolc of noises which Toni assumr-d to be his own laiizuapzc. Then it corkcd its head oti one side, looked at them and seemed to expect a reply.

But old Jacob was zismiiiidcd. ”Now that." he said, "is a most

ordinary happening! This bird. my young friends, has just spnlicri a name that was already familiar to me more than half B ceiitiiry ago!"

"Is there such a person as Ben- ny Boss. sir?" asked Maine.

”No," answered the other. ”(')iic may safely declare that this par- rot's 'Bcnny Boss' has long jfllnfifl the majority. But he was a very singular person - in his prime when I was young - and of such individuality and ciiterpriso that I have never forgotten him and

never shall. No man could tell you the true story of Benny Boss He was such a liar that the truth a- bout him is little likely ever to be known: but I had a good deal to do with him long ago, and he gave up his attempts to cheat me after he found that I knew far more a- bout the matter than he did."

The speaker broke off.

"There can be little doubt in my opinion that. this was once his bird It comes from his old home at Piinn in the region of Titicara, the grcatcst aiicl grandest of nii.- lakes It was Benny who securrd inc my parrots. and not a few other good things ind(tzcnmis to that tlisirict Meet me after dinner in the smok- lng-room and you shall lien: iiinrc "

"Benny Boss! Briiiiy Boss! bowl- ed the parrot, arid the old gentle- man SOICl11llIj' liO(I(lP(I to him.

ilaniilingjnil Grading Damages To Tuliors

OTTAWA, Aug. 10.-Handlinl and grading potatoes may cause more injury or mechanical damage to tubers than the digging operat- ions. some farmers carefully Iup-- ervise digging operations but neg- lect the subsequent operations.

Ln 1 recent test at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawo, re- ports A. I. Magee of the Field Husbandry Division, it was found that the potato digger caused 2.4 per cent major lnjury. This injury was increased to 4.6 per cent with the picking up and storing operat- ion. After the potatoes were grad' ed the total damage was further increased to 8.9 per cent. It is obvious than that most of the dam- age occurs during the storing and grading operations.

To prevent injury two rules should be followed. First. pad all machine and equipment parts that come in contact with the potatoes. potatoes with care.

potato machines can be sully

padded with sponge rubber or other inatorisf and rods may be covered with rubber tubing to reduce po- tsto injury. The bagging platform should have 3 thick covering of straw to cushion the potatoes when they fn.ll nto the bag.

To red cc potato injury, the op- erator should keep in mind that potatoes. like spples, can be easily bruised and cracked. Any arrange- ment which will reduce the chance of rough handling during harvest operations is well worth while.
