A FEED YARD.

The most useful aud economical de-

100 feet, inclosed on the north and
ives, by a tight, high board fence; on
the south and east. the fence Is lower
but some buildings serve as wind
breaks. Whom we commence hauling
up our hay In the fall we stack all
along the north and west sides, This
gives us well sheltered yard where
cattle can be fed when II Is too cold
for them 10 go out In the pasture and
where the young stock can be- kept
at night until late In the season, as
they are protected from the wind.

cleaning occasionally, We find II a

A fine carriage with a man, a woman and
little boy drew up one morning just as
j. w was starting out with his wagon.
That looks like a business wagon" said
the man. Il know where you can get a
fine team of goats for it."
j. W. pricked up his ears. A team! He
had not thought Of that before, but the
idea thrilled him.
Il was looking for Jacky Burton" con-
tinued the man, but you seem to need a
team of goats. and you can buy them at
half their, value"
m John Winthrop Burton" spoke up
j. w. Il do mean to buy a goat as soon
as get the money together"
The man said he would sell the team for
$1o though they had cost $50
J. w. said he hadn't more than So and
asked the man what he would charge for
one of the goats.
1T would be a great pity to part then, :"
the man answered, but If you will nav me
~ tomorrow when I bring them to YOU
III wait two months for the other So
j. w. replied that he would like to see
the goats. and that he would probably
take them If they seemed all right.
He did find them young, safe and
sound as the horse traders say. It took
him Just one month to get his complete out
mt paid for, including the new body, a pole
and new coat of paint He now has a
splendid express route and there are those
who predict that Jacky Burton will some
day become John Winthrop Burton, the
railroad president. For did he not COM
mence with capital of As cents and by
his own industry and pluck build I'D a
paying business in single summer?

the duel. but something told the creature
that there was one and where ii was taking
place. l know this. for the spider crawled
cautiously out Of the hole, and very eau
tiously walked down straw straight to the
place where the war was going on. Tho
poor fellow-spider was getting the worst OF
the fight. The watching spider stood for a
second looking on. craning its tiny neck to
see every movement. Then very suddenly
the onlooker turned and went back to the
hole and disappeared.
1 wondered if Ii was Mrs Spider and IL
she had gone back to other spiders, or
whether Mr.. Spider had been ugly to her,
and she was glad to see him getting pun
tshed Before she had time to return, how
ever, Mr.. Wasp had gotten the better of
Mr.. Spider and. getting square on top of
Mr.. Spider, he grasped him with his tiny
legs. and. to my amazement, lifted him
bodily IN the ar and went flying out the
window with him. moving very slowly at
first. for the spider was larger than he and
still struggling.
When the wasp and his burden disap-
peared out of the window / wondered what
he would do with his prey, Then l began
to read again. A second time looked up,
and this time happened to glance down from
the loft. there, flying very, very slowly up
through the stairway. / saw the same wasp
with the same spider in his legs / could
hardly believe my eyes. But on going nearer
decided that there could be no mistake. It
was the very same pair. This time the wasp
flew UP to one of the wasp homes, where,
with the help Of two or three other wasps,
the dead spider was poked bodily inside
nest
Now. IL any one big or little. can tell me
why that wasp should fly outdoors round
the barn. and in another way to take the
spider to his family for dinner l shall be
tlemen provide for their families. and l am

In truth he was kept busy great part
of the time. and his little stock Of pennies,
nickels and dimes began to grow. The hnd-
ing of that knife had been a piece of good
luck but j. w. was making the most OF It.
OF course the work was not easy, but
then ]. w. saving money every day,
and when he became able to buy the goat
he should ride instead of walk, and he
might be able to increase the business De-
sides.
Before long ]. w. discovered that the
two grocers OF Eastvale were rivals At
the same time they discovered that the
young messenger was trying to get orders
from the housekeepers so that he might
have the work of delivering the articles.
One Of the grocers said to him: Jacky,
III give you cents on every dollars worth
Of goods you deliver from my store.
j. W. didn't like the Jacky." but he
was after business, so he accepted the
offer. More than that, he told the rival
grocer about it, and received the same
offer from him. This increased his income
at least 30 cents a week.
Already he had 50. Four young rabbits
would soon be worth 20 cents apiece. The
one he had promised Johnnie Myers he
had earned back by doing Johnnie's errands
for him; SO his rabbits would bring a dol
lar. The goat was in sight.
But ]. w. thought he must have larger
body built for his wagon The wheels
were still good and strong. friend OF
his who was a carpenter offered to make a
new body five feet long and put a seat
upon 1t for dollar and a half. This meant
waiting another week for his goat, but ].
w thought it would pay.
Just then something unexpected happened.

A Poppy Show.
"A min. a min. for a poppy show"

A DIN, d PIN, lOT d puppy
How many of you ever made poppy
show? 1 used to love to make them when
I was a little girl. We would hunt every
where till we found piece of broken glass,
plain window glass. The larger 1t was the
better / liked it,
Then 1 got some old newspaper and picked
the prettiest wild, flowers and ferns and
leaves that I could find.
Then I would spread the flowers face
down on the glass, covering the glass all
over with the ferns and blossoms. 1 put
the newspaper over the flowers and held
it close to the glass. while I turned the
glass, flowers and all over and spread the
paper on the doorstep, on which l usually
worked.
/ looked through the glass to see If the
flowers were arranged well underneath 1t.
II they were not l raised the glass care
fully and fixed the show. You see in turn
ing the flowers over they rested on the
newspaper instead Of on the glass. I put
them on the glass first so as to be sure
had flowers enough to cover the glass, and
had them arranged in the right shape.
When / had the flowers all arranged so
that they looked nicely under the glass l
drew the edges Of the newspaper SO UP over
the glass and trimmed the paper so that it
was about a quarter OF an inch larger than
the bit OF glass. Then passed the edges of
the paper down on the glass on each side
SO that 1t made q sort Of frame for the
flower picture. Then my poppy show was
complete. I used to hide 1t behind my back
and charge any one pin to look at 1t. We
little girls all tried to see which could make
them by ourselves for there was sort OF
charm in keeping the poppy show a secret
until II was all ready to be put on exhibit
ton.

derland was not In the book. Up near the
barn rafters above where I was sitting were
very many. wasp homes-little mud huts,
built close together, and very lively with
blue-black little wasps. In the corners Of
the barn down close to the hay were many
homes of spiders, great gray webs and deep
dark hiding places in the hay. ! turned
page Of my book, reached out for plum
and, as did So saw something that made
me wonder, and. presto. change! the plain
barn was transformed into Wonderland.
A great spider was walking sedately along
a straw. when suddenly from above came a
blue-black wasp and pounced plump on Mr..
Spider. giving him a vicious bite in the back
Mr.. Spider. though wounded. turned on his
enemy. and there was short and swift bat
tle At the first clash Of legs still larger
