And only three hours would be with his book,
The other nine given to play.

The Story of a Frog.

How happy my little goldfish were to play
in and out the cool moss in their globe. but
little did they know that some queer little
creatures would soon come forth to play
hide and seek with them.
Hidden In the moss were some tiny eggs.
which looked like the heads of black pins
covered with soft. sticky substance. Soon
were seen some little black things wrig-
Cling about in the water trying to catch the
goldfish. Only three of these little wrig-
glers were allowed to remain in the globe
to be the companions of the goldfish.
1t was very interesting to watch the
changes in these creatures.
Their color became a light brown. their
bodies grew large and fat and their eyes.
once so small. became so large that they
almost popped out of their heads.
Soon were seen pair of hind legs and
not long after their little front legs ap-
peared
All this time the tail was getting shorter
and shorter. until it finally disappeared.
One morning the little fish were hunting
all over for their friends. They could not
be found. Upon looking on top of the cas-
tie what do you think they saw?
Three little frogs.

For Our Young Folks Who Raise
Chickens

Chickens require lots of water. and there
are many different kinds of drinking foun-
tains made specially9for them, those look
ing like a flower pot turned upside down
on its saucer being very prac ,ical for two
reasons: They keep the water clean until
the chicken drinks and are easy to clean.
If you want to make a drinking fountain
you will find that one exactly like this
picture is as good, if not better, than any
other kind. Have the side bars - wide
enough apart to allow your chickens to get
their heads in between easily. Wash the
tin thoroughly every morning and in winter
fill it two or three times a day with warm
water. You can make dhis box any shape
you like. although the long narrow one
like the picture. is besto = -.
