WINNER OF THE SECOND PRIZE.

The winner of the second prize in the August
competition was Trad Morton Hidden OIL Newark
whose letter is given herewith:
To tba Editor of Little Men and Little women
sir: Among the great animals OF America llle
bison or buffalo is of the most lhteEesLlis,
'T1e bison is supposed have had its origin IN
western Europe and Asia and TO have come fd 70
Ills continent some time during the Slaclai peTIot
'l'hev ALWAYS travel in herds. In times OF danger
they have a systematic mode OF defence !hey
place an the calves in the centre, then the hel1ef
and COWS while the bulls form the outer ring ana
thus defend the herd. y leader IS chosen from
among the bulls He acts as scout and takes care
Of the herd all times.
1t seems a strange coincidence that the bu1aio
and his human compatriot, the wild Indian should
both suffer similar fate Like the Indian the
buffalo belongs = fast disappearing race Like
the Indian he once lord of the plains and held

He frightenS the Sun and steals his gold,
He scatterS il the autumn trees.
The Sunbeams try, but they cannot seize
The gold again for their Father Sun,

they had the right to appoint but it

Care of Puppies.

Puppies after weaving will keep
strong and healthy and will grow fast
II fed only ON fresh buttermilk and
corn bread, with soup instead Of the
buttermilk twice a week. till they are
five or six months old. Do not feed
them sweet milk. Keep the puppies
where they can get plenty Of exercise.
Do not crowd them. Arrange their
kennels SO that they can go in and out
Of their sleeping quarters. IL fed In
the same vessels, some dogs get more
than their share of food and lose their
also. Fasten a number Of
chains where they eat at such dis
tances that no can reach the other:
then feed In Individual pans. Give lit
tie medicine and plenty of exercise,
and you will then have strong, healthy
dogs. An hours u every day in the
year In the fields and woods, weather
permitting, Is essential to good health.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Water in which mignonette has been
placed should be changed often, since
1t quickly becomes foul.
The best use to make Of old bones
is to break them up and bury them
near the roots Of fruit trees and grape
vines.
By sowing nitrate of soda in small
quantities In showery weather under
trees a most beautiful verdure will be
obtained.
1t Is not q good plan to fill an old
orchard with young trees. The soil
is too much exhausted by the growth
of the former occupants.
Geraniums bloom most satisfactorily
when grown In comparatively small
pots and soil which Is termed rich, but
not rank with excessive manure.
Stir, spade. rake and pulverize soil
thoroughly before planting or sowing.
The importance Of this work cannot be
overestimated If you desire fine bios.
SONS.
Geraniums that have been used for
summer boomers will not flower again
until the late spring months. Plants
for winter blooming should be grown
especially for this purpose.
