Young Farmers at Noab's Hrk

Some people say il is hard for farmers get
sired men They say men would rather stay in
the city than GO TO the country and work. But
there are two hired men a farm Long Island
who are perfectly satisfied with their situations
and would object very much indeed if they were
asked 20 leave. They don't get high wages either
Elihu. who is green hand. gets l5 cents week
and Patrick, who is experienced, having
worked two summers, gets 25 cents week. And.
Of course they have their keep" And when you
consider that the keep includes tent TO sleep
,n-a big tent IN green field. with a snarly apple
shading it-and when you also consider that
there is pond, and the hired men have an hour
of every afternoon for swimming. perhaps their
content is explained. For Patrick is only thirteen
years old and Elihu is only twelve.
When the two young of Patrick and
Eihu decided to give up teaching and take to
chicken raising, all the family said: What n
good chance train Patrick and Fclihu 10 work.
For Patrick lives in New York and Elihu lives
IN Boston. and there isn't much in either of these
places for boys 20 do except go TO school
The aunts said they thought they'd better try the
experiment with boy first That was last
summer. All summer Patrick fed chickens and
cleaned coops for l5 cents week. and long before
school was out last June he counting the days
I'LL he could hire out again. He never asked for
raise In his wages. but the aunts thought he
deserved il, because this summer he has the re-
sponsibility of breaking in the apprentice Ehu.
II you think the boys don't work read this
programme Of Patricks daily duties Patrick
beinS a nelhoo1cai boy wrote IL out himself on

Five o'clock-Feed garbage chickens.
Six o'clock-Feed ducks; inspect fountains.
Seven o'clock-Dinner.'
The O'Clock chickens get the food that is left
from the table. The only word Patrick
knows for that is garbage. he calls them gar
bage chickens 1t isn't a chicken farm alone-this
farm il began that way, but it has branched
out in many directions that Patrick calls IT
the Noah's Ark. The aunts love animals well
that whenever they a kind they can't
help adding ii TO the menagerie. Besides, one
OF them says:

ADVENTURE WITH AN ALLIGATOR.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: live In the
country and the school went to two years ago was
five miles from home. The teacher stayed at my
house and she and I drove TO school IN a buggy
through pine forest every morning
One afternoon while driving home all
of sudden the horse SHE'D little to one Side and
we looked and there, right tine side of the road,
was an alligator about four feet long. OF course
we said Let's catch him Now. this sounds easier
than 1t really is but tried for about ten min
utes, and then some darkes CAME from a log cabin
by and after n struggle we got him ted
down In the back of the buggy.
We got in the buggy and drove off After we
had gone a hundred yards the teacher sud
denly said stop, and sprang clear over the front
wheel of the buggy. Meanwhile I stopped and
looked down at my feet and jumped too for right
there was the alligator. just then a turpentine
workman came up with his dinner pail strapped
over his shoulder and asked, ''Whad de matter?
And when told him he said "A'1l fix TIM SO
he took his strap and tied Mr.. Gator down close
to the bottom of the buggy and then Old Trouble
