Ways AImira Earns Money.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you few ways by which earn money in my summer vacation. When we have strawberries I help pick them and papa gives me two cents quart. Then when the cherries are ripe I pick some to sell and I get the money for those I pick.
 Afterwards when the hay is ready to get in, 1 help make the load and get five cents a load. That is how 1 earn money during vacation, and now l am going to tell you about the good times I have.
 Every Fourth of July I get some fireworks and have the neighbors come to my house in the evening" Then we shoot off the fireworks and after wards we have lemonade and peanuts
 Later in the summer my parents my brother and I go to see a dear aunt of mine who lives in Stonington My father and brother go back home the same day, but my mother and I stay with my aunt several days.
 Last year we went to Mystic and also to Watch Hill

 went to bed early that night, be- when awoke was ready for any sort of pleasure. Before eating breakfast we went for a delightful swing of 20 minutes. and then returned to the house, where we dressed for breakfast
 After breakfast. we went for a stroll in the woods. where the smell of the flowers and ferns was~very refreshing.
 Our attention was called to two squlrrels who were perched up watch ing and blinking at us with their large, solemn eyes. When we moved toward them they at once scampered up the tree.
 Many delightful days like this were spent before my vacation edded. Each day finding something new in the woods was my chief pleasure, and when my vacation ended I was very sorry to leave.

The FoaE

One day when Arthur went into the stable to talk to Beauty; who was all ways pleased to be petted and talk ed to, the stable boy who was giving the horses some oats. told him there was a pretty little foaI out in the meadow, and would he like to come and see it?
 Arthur said: "Yes, of course" so the two boys scampered away to look through the hedge at the little horse, which Arthur thought was the fun niest thing he had ever seen. They were afraid to go into the meadow, because the foal was with its moth CT.
 Arthur'h father told him he had bought the foal because it was so handsome, and he was going to bring it up and have it trained.
 By and by when Arthur had been to school and come back, he found it had grown quite large. It was being taught all sorts of tricks and pretty ways by old John, the coachman. And, what do you think He found it was a present for himself, because he had been a good boy at school, and was at the top of his class.

Lime.

Dear Uncle Jed: I might have writ ten you a letter before now, but I didn't. I will tell you a few things, about lime.
 Lime is not a real plant food. It helps to improve the soil The other fertilizers in the soil need the lime. Alfalfa and clover need more lime than any other crops. When red clover fails to grow on soil where it did once this shows that the soil needs lime. A field can be tested by laying off a plot of four square rods; add a bushel of lime on half of the plot and manure on half O.. it in the other dI- rection. On this plot you can see what the results of lime and manure alone and together will. be.
 Lime is found in the earth in lime stone. When lime is burned a gas is given off and quicklime is left. This is used in clustering.
 About 500 pounds to one ton of lime is added to an acre at time. If more is needed it can be added in a few years.
 I hope the Wide-Awakes have not forgotten me.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
A Visit to Moheean Park


 Dear Uncle Jed: Vacation has been here now nearly a month. and l have been having very good time. Yesterday I went out near the T1r- tie pond after berries. HuckleberrIes are not very plentiful as yet, but my sister and I got about three quarts Sunday I went up to Mohegan par K On the way up I saw several birds nests; also several young birds think one was the nest of scarlet tanager. In this nest were three eggs and lowering near were a large tanager and his mate.
 While up in the park saw several deer, one very small one; a large sheep with two very long horns; also a good many other sheep.
 Coming back from the park we found many large cup-shaped flowers in the thiekest part of the woods.
 I hope all the Wide-Awakes and you, Uncle Jed, will visit the park and have a very plea$ant time.

The Penquin.

The penguin is a web-footed swim ming bird found only south of the equator. It's wings have only one movable joint that at the shoulder. They are useless for flights, but make good paddles.
 On land the penguin sits upright. It also walks and runs erect except when frightened; then it drops forward, and using it's wings as forelegs, makes great speed. During the matching season vast numbers. focks of thirty or forty thousand live to- gether in rookeries, choosing for these the most desolate islands.

The Cotton Plant.

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would send you a letter about cotton. The cotton plant bears dark green leaves and lovely blossoms which in the morning are yellow. at noon white and at night pink. When the blossoms are gone the pods come. As soon as the pod is punctured the cotton ap- pears.
 Long ago slaves were used to pick the seeds from the fbers; but now the cotton gin is used.

Respect For Elders.

In an Athenian building long ago a public in representation of the. com monwealth was taking place All seats were occupied when an old gentleman appeared among the throng- Some of the Athenians who saw his difficulty motioned to him to come where they sat; but after go- ing there he was only exposed to the whole audience. When the old maI, walked towards the boxes appointed TOT the Spartans young man arose, allowing the old gentleman to sit down. A great applause thundered throughout the house. but the old mans voice was heard above all say ing: The Athenians understand what is good but the Spartans prac- tice it.
