SEED CORN PATCH

Start a separate breeding plant Of
corn this year. It's the only way to
insure perfect purity, strong vitality,

now trying this plan Of getting good
seed corn. A quarter or half acre is
enough land, but it must be separate
from the other corn to prevent cross
ing. It must be in good condition to
mako strong plants. It must be uni
form in fertility to make selection
tafe. Plant only the best seed obtain
able. Suit your self as to variety and

BY SARAH T.. HUMPHREYS
aged 49,

Crisp rings Of dough, brown as A nut,
Floating in bubblins grease.
Said mother. as she took them out,
These will the children please"
She placed the doughnuts in a dish,
And said, Now, Win and Nan,
Divide these fairly with yourselves,
Then clean the fryingpan.
Said VIII to Nan: "You take the holes
And I will take the rings"
But Nan. protesting, cried aloud:
II cannot eat such things"
She told her ma, but mama said:
Now. dearie, do not care,
For VIII will surely rue the day
He took the lions share"
He rued it once at papa's hand.
All night that greasy food
With pains and spasms fierce recalled
He'd been unfair and rude.

Bill and Red Wing were learning 10 ride
horseback. Neither OF them had horse
OF his very own. but there was always
a pony which no one was using and one
pony was quite large enough for two
small boys to ride on at the same time.
The difficulty was in finding some one to
help them mount and TO lead the pony
There was so much work to be done on

cowboys had a few moments 70 spare, he
was always willing TO toss them up on a
