THt TRAGEDIES Of CHILDHOOD
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

When you were child were you
just punishment or an unmerited re-
buke that you hated everyone and
everything?
Do you remember that time when
you were sent to bed without your
supper for breaking the glass vase,
when you cried and cried and wished
you dared run away?
Do you remember the time you. in
your innocent childish grief over the
| fact that no one loved you. plotted to
run away where no one would ever
see you again?
Do you remember the night you
cried yourself into a fever and how
you tossed your small arms and
sobbed. Il wish I were dead, dead.

Poultry Notes.

Wheat chaf can be used on the
floor of the poultry house to perhaps
better advantage than any other
on the farm. 1t can be placed on
the floor to a depth of three or four
inches and serves several purposes,
the first of which is to keep the floor
dry and clean. then if a few millet
seeds or a handful of small grain is
scattered in the chaff the hens will
work and scratch industriously for
the feed. Wheat chaf, being always
fine is excellent for the manure heap
When the floor is cleaned off. TIE
chrff is the cheapest substance that
can be used where wheat Is grown,
and in the winter it will help the
fowls warm by shutting out drau-
