no beds to make. no floors to sleep. and
very few dishes to wash

Sometimes she is sent to drive the
monkeys away from the garden patcn
where they have come to steal the
pumpkins. or she brings water ron
the spring or digs sweet potatoes for
dinner
These small duties, however. do not
occupy much of her time. And how
do you think she spends the bright
days in her pleasant summer land?
Let me tell you. She plays with dolls
just as you do-not waxen ones. with
real curls and eyes that open and close.

further stated that the boiling poihi
would be about 80, as it was nearly
three times that of the human body.

While all birds aid the farmer in de-
stroying insects 1t remains for num-
her of them TO eat weed seeds and
thus help Keep the weeds in check.
The family OF birds that do the most
toward this are the native sparrows.
The English sparrow is not to be
clsssed with them in this regard. Eng
liRh sparrows do harm. also, when in
large numbers. in driving away the
native birds from their nesting places,
thus expoEing them and their young
to danger in more exposed nesting
sites. They also eat grain and are
more harmful than beneficial.
On the other hand, the song, vesper
and chipping sparrows as well as the
field bunting, consume great quantities
Of weed seeds from the time they first
f;pen until late In the tall, and the
song and tree sparrows with the snow
bird practically subaist on them during
the winter.
The redwinged bIackbird also eats
large quantities of weed seeds. and the
meadow lark and brown thrasher both
consume some during certain seasons

Some chickens are naturally active
enough to take all the exercise they
need to keep their systems in good
