WHEAT.

Wheat grows from seed which. is
sown in the fields. When II first come rs
up IL is as green as grass but after
Il time n strong stalk rises above the
green leaves, and an ear of wheat
shoots out. The ear at first is soft
and green. but when the summer heat
has made II ripG>it grows full and
hard. and Is OF a rich reddish brown
or golden color. When quite ripe 1t is
cut down and put into sheaves to dry.
Then It is put into a barn or into
stacks to keep 1t safe.
1t is next beaten with fails. or put
into mill, and all the grain or seeds
of wheat arc beaten out of the ears.
The stalk is straw. and the shell which
was around the grain is chaff. The
straw Is of use for beds for cows and
for the horses or the oxen. and many
useful things are made -of It, When
the grain or seed is all out of the
ears. II is sent to a flour and
ground into white dust. which is the
flour. we make into bread.

THE AUTUMN FAIRY.

'Tis in autumn that the woodlands,
Their prettiest dresses wear;
Because the little autumn Fairy
Touched them with her hand so fair
The autumn Fairy commands the bird
To sing with all their might.
Sending forth their gurgling songs.
From morning until night
She kisses the little white daisies,
Because they are the last
OF all the summer flowers.
To greet the winters blast.
The little insects and crickets
Are chirping their CHEEKY song:
Saying, cheer up; cheer up"
For autumn wont last long.
And autumns Fairy touches things
With her wand. you know.
All of the trees, rocks and things.
Giving them a golden glow.
After autumn the flowers wither.
And we don't hear bird song.
But then we are glad
When golden autumn is gone.
