Haying-Time at Grandpa's S.

1t was haying-time at grandpa's, and Bonnie
had to go;
He knew his help was needed for grandpa
told him so.
And when the schools have ended and vaca-
ton has begun,
A summer in the city isn't any kind of fun.
But my! to visit grandpa's, with haying-time
at hand,
Is just the best thing ever, as all boys under
stand
His task at first was spreading the grasses
newly mown,
And Bonnie started bravely to do as he was
shown.
But the bobolinks were singing in the meadow
just below,
And it looked place most likely for straw
berries to grow,
And million cleaning daisies were beckon-
ing, every one;
Twas there that grandpa found him, asleep
ing in the sun.
His duty next was raking behind the load of
hay,
To see that none was wasted by being blown
away.
But he heard gentle ripple, and then he ran
to look,
For he thought there might be minnows in the
waters of the brook.
In the elm bird was singing the strangest
kind of tune,
And SO he stayed to listen throughout the af-
ternoon.
Then next his grandpa sent him up on tt e
NOW one day,
To help where they were storing the fragrant
crop away.
But he heard frightened chirping among
the rafters high
And he saw nest Of swallows that had not
learned to fly;
So off he quickly hurried to find worm or
two,
For fear the mother swallow had more than
she could do.
And so from early morning in the sunshine or
the rain.
Until the fall of twilight, when the COWS came
down the lane,
Did Bonnie help his grandpa the whole long
summer through
And oh. the things he learned there! And oh,
how brown he grew!
And when he started homeward, they heard
his grandpa say,
"You've surely helped US, Bonnie, l wish that
you could stay

There are two features of the present
season to which it is not necessary to
call attention the drouth and the long
continued heat. Drouths are not I'M
common, but all records were beaten in
the degree of heat, and in the many con-
secutive hot days and nights. In this
vicinity it was noticed that vegetation
tiourished despite the early drouth, and
many consider this due to the moisture
from the slowly dissolving frost in the
ground, the absence of rain and the dry
ing of the surface having retained it
until well into the spring. The growth
of foliage has been unusually luxuriant
and this may also be due to the continued
moisture afforded by the slowly melti g
frost. An observer of bird life has call
ed our attention to the apparent decrease
in the number of English sparrows and
an increase in the number of other birds
The disappearing of, the sparrows is at
tributed to the change in the system of
electric lighting. The arc lights, which
were favorite nesting places of these
pugnacious little birds, have been re-
placed by incandescent lights, which af
ford them no shelter, and there are said
to be few places about the city which the
sparrows find suitable for their nests.
Last season the sparrows were very
much in evidence in the grounds of Cros-
by Place, the Chenery summer home,
but this season their places have been
taken by other birds, including many
songsters, who are welcome visitors.
There may be other things to make mem
orable the spring and summer Of 1911
which have not come to our notice, and
we should be pleased to hear from ma
ture-lovers and others the result of their
observations.
