The Squirrel That Loved Music.

have just read about sportsman
who, one day in the woods sat very
still, and began to whistle an air to a
red squirrel on a tree. :" In 4 twink
ling" says he, the little fellow sat
up, leaned its head to one side, and
listened. A moment after, he had
scrambled down the trunk. and when
within few yards, he sat up and
listened again. Pretty soon ne
jumped upon the pile of rails upon
which | was, came within four feet Ol
me, sat up, made an umbrella of his
bushy tail, and looked straight at me,
his little eyes beaming with pleasure.
Then changed the tune, and chut
away he skipped. But before long
he came back to his seat on the rails,
and as l watched him, it actually
seemed as if he were trying to puckeI
up his mouth to whistle. | changed
the tune again, but this time he
looked so funny as he scampered of
that I laughed aloud, and he came
back no more. | had much more en-.
joyment out of this squirrel than if
had shot him.

"Sinf . Sonf Of Sixpence. I"

Everybody, of course, is we'll &C
quainted with the old nursery rhyme,
Sing a Song of Sixpence," but
those who are also familiar with its
allegorical significance are perhaps
not so numerous.
The four-and-twenty blackbirds
represent the twenty-fOur hours.
The bottom of the pie is the world,
and the top crust is the sky. The
opening of the pie is the dawn of day,
when the birds begin to sing.
The king is the sun, and the gold
pieces that slip through his fingers
as he counts are the golden sunshine.

Even though we may do without the
old days they talk about, we cannot
dispense with the songs that sing OF
them. These, at least. are indispcns-
able to olr happiness; these consti-
tute the precious treasures of mem
DRY without which life is hardly
worth the living. They soften the
intense practicaIism of the present,
lcaven hard facts with sentiment, and
induce every man and woman in hours
of sorrow to express the heartfelt
wish that they might be made child
again, just for tonight.

Place Dishes Of Water.
Chatterer in Boston Herald.


A gentleman who lives not far
from Boston has long been in the
habit of placing near the entrance to
his grounds a large vessel which is
filed with fresh water twice day.
Many are the dogs that roam along
the lovely road, and rarely does one
go by without taking o few laps.
Often times birds, seen hopping in
the grass, will edge along until they
believe no one is in sight and will
then plunge into the vessel, splash
ing the water about until some car
riage or passer-by disturbs them.
Doubtless there are many people
who have gardens and grounds, even
though they are without pets of any
sort and it would be an act of charity
for them to follow this mans exam
pie. Everybody cannot afford foun-
tain, but nearly everyone with lawns
to keep fresh and green does afford a
lawn sprayer. and if grass must
drink, how much more necessary
must water be to dumb creatures
who must depend on human SYM
pathy and thoughtfulness for their
safety and comfort.

CAMPING TIME.

Summer time. camping time,
Days are warm and dry.
Hunt a shade, anywhere,
On your back to lie.
Dream of trees, waters splash,
Fish for bass or trout.
Wish TO goodness you hal time to
Take bout two weeks out.
Camping time. fishing time,
Up at break of day,
Eat a snack, grab a rod
what care you for pay?
Find apool, cast your fly,
Three-pound trout. oh, Gee!
What's the use of living in the
City any way.
Fishing time. lazy time.
Time of all the year,
When you want to get away,
Any place but here,
Daily grind holds you down,
Guess I'll have to stay,
But, great guns, wouldn't it be great
Ii one could get away"

FOXtnfl and PiKyyeed.

Both these weeds are ANIMALS; that
season and the plants die after ripen-
ing seeds. The way to keep them down
is to prevent the plants from r!pening
seed and making sure that are no seeds
in the grain sown upon the farm. Fox
tail Is troublesome, because il springs
up In cultivated fields after the crops
are laid by, and then it comes up in
stubble and in meadows and pastures
Late cultivation of corn fields, and
moving the stu6ble, meadows and pas
lures to keep seeds from forming. is
the way to attack this weed. Judging
from the way these weeds spring up,
whenever conditions are favorable,
there must be great stores of them in
cultivated fields showing the seeds are
long-lived. Pigweed quickly springs up
in corn or potato fields, after cult
walton has ceased. These seeds ripen
from August Is to November /. SO it
will take vigorous measures to get rid
of them. In fact the only way to get
rid of these weeds is to cut them down
before seeds mature. IF crop OF
them Is left to mature in corn fields,
and then the seeds plowed under the
coming season, you have stored away
enough seeds TO bother you for the
next ten years.

Electricity and Vegetables.

Considerable progress has been made
in the use of electricity in cultivating
farm and garden products. Sometimes n
wire netting is stretched across a field
just high enough not to touch the grow
ing plants. Through this a current is
circulated. Other experiments have
made use of charged wires underground
near the roots of the plants. BY the
overhead network method it is said that
strawberries increased in product from
80 to $50 per cent, corn from 80 to 40,
and other products in proportion. Some
scientists claim that an average of 40
per cent. could be obtained with nearly
all crops on fertile land by the electric
current. Whether or not the current
could be supplied and a profit maintained
is questions ble.-Pathhnder.
