Newport and Lenox have in the last two years
more established the motor picnic one OF the
most attractive means OF entertaining for not only
ways unknown to those who drive in the procession
of motors and carriages that pass up and down the
fashionable avenue at certain hour each day. but
they enjoy luncheon spread in some cool and
picturesque spot. The true picnic is the most
joyable way to take dejeuner in the woods, and
for 1t each motor party brings contribution.

my bantam chickens about two months. There are
four hens and the prettiest white rooster I think
I ever saw. The greatest number of eggs they
laid in day four; the average number is
two or three a day. The eggs I sell to my father
for and cents apiece. We have large chicken
house but other chickens in 1t, I have to
keep the bantams under wagon shed. which
has wire around IT. They roost in there at night
and let out in the morning. About 7:30 in the
morning I feed them. They tame that they
will out of my hands. Every morning OF
the is at the barn door waiting for II to be
opened; she has nest In manger in one of the
stalls.
1 think my chickens lay very well; but the only
trouble is is high; It is 81 so a bag. I
have to pay for the out of the money I
ceive for the eggs The bantams have no house
to live in yet. but my sister and I are going to
build out of very large packing box very
soon. they will keep nice and through the
winter.

OUR BIRDS,

Dear Little Men and Little Women: There are
many beautiful birds In the woods where live
The catbird is dark colored, is very smooth and
can sing most any old tune She up when
we have left the table and makes q good breakfast
or dinner off our butter. She ''y-a va till
we give her something TO eat. Then she says
put, putt for thank you" We have a hollow
down in the rock where the birds bathe We keep
this hollow nice and clean for them. Sometimes
eight nine bathing at Our tamest
bird is the chewink. It built its nest close to
house, and something ate the eggs up. Then It
built another nest next 70 the chicken house. ard
I found It and put scarecrow there. This
time nothing harmed the eggs The scarecrow
looked like an old man sitting down in a chair,
and I guess he scared everything away. 1 could
tell you about many other beautiful birds that live
here, but It would make my letter too long.

ferred to the Hecla branch Of the mine,
becoming foreman blacksmith there.
He worked at this occupation for ten
" ars, resigning for the purpose of de-
