ing the Lakeland section investigat-
irg the woolly whitefy situation. He
finds quite considerable infestation

iS resistant to sprays and to the at
tack Of fungus, and may become q

They have held together and their
membership has gradually increased.
These clubs, when organized for the
r.omotion of agricultural interests.
and properly conducted, are capable
of accomplishing much good.-Uni-

"All right" said Mr.. Wylie, and Joe
set to work on his little field. He pre-
pared the ground, planted the corn,
hoed it, gathered it and shipped it to
the market with his fathers produce.
When it was sold, he waited for his
money. Nothing was said, however,
by the father until Joe asked what the
corn had brought. Mr.. Wylie referred
t, his bills and told the amount.
Where's my money!" asked Joe.
ooh, put is in the bank. 1t will
be safe there"
Joe did not doubt that his father
had put the money in the bank in his
sons name, and so he felt satisfied
especially as the sum was a good one
SINE months later he wanted to buy

old ones would do.

1t was indeed a proud day when
Godfrey presented each member Of
the family a Christmas gift bought
with his own earnings, and when he
put down his name as a subscriber
to the minister's salary and the mis-
sion fund.
When Godfrey was old enough to go
to college, he had in the bank fair
amount with which to begin and mace
arrangements with his father for the
balance needed.
While at college, Godfrey was no.
weaned from the farm. There his
interests were; there his stock, grow
ing in value, there his crops to be har-
vested, and there he settled with his
young wife, ready to take the bur
dens of his father, in addition to his
own, on his own strong shoulders.
Farmer Wylie and Farmer Carson
were talking together as Godfrey
rode out of the barn and away down
the road. Mr., Wylie looked after him
with darkening face.

She was different from the rest of
the flock, and her eggs could easily be
distinguished. Godfrey arranged to
pay Speckle's board and to have the
sale of her eggs. From her he raised
several broods of chickens, and was
encouraged by his parents to keep a
strict account of outlaw and income,
and to put his earnings into the bank
in his own name.
"Oh, mother!" exclaimed Godfrey
one morning, "Black Bess has the
beautifullest little colt you ever saw,
and father has given it to me for my
birthday present. l am to take care
of it and to pay him for its keep, adi
If l want to sell it sometime l am
to have the money for my very own"
Many and earnest were the CONVEX
sations between Mr.. Carson and Geof-
frey as to the best manner of caring
for the colt, and Geoffrey's account
book had many new entries of sums
spent for the pretty creature. Geof-
frey broke the colt to saddle and har-
ness, and it was a proud day when he
was offered seventy-five dollars for
him.
what will you do with so much
money!" asked his father.
THAT is just what l want to ask you
about" said Godfrey. What do you
think about my investing in sheep and
hogs?"
Under his fathers wise counsel, the
boy invested his money. He also rent
ed a small piece of ground, planted q
garden and sold the produce. His
father. did not, however, give him al
his time to spend in his own enter
