PETERS AND TEETER's ADvEN
. ri. TURE,

One day, after Peter and Teeter
had grown up and gotten to be big, fat
ducks, Teeter laid eight big, blue-white
eggs in their nest and began to sit on
them: for, as you know, if duck eggs
are kept warm all the time for four
weeks, little baby ducks hatch out OF
the eggs. PETER was pretty lonesome
while Teeter was getting ready for
those ducklings, and he never went
very far away from the barrel where
the nest was. Teeter just stayed there
day after day and could hardly be
coaxed away long enough to eat.
Mama and Auntie used to take
Teeter something to eat every day.
One noon when we went out to her
nest with pan full of corn and a lit
tie bucket of fresh water for her din
ner, we found the nest empty and the
eggs cold. Peter and Teeter were
both gonei Although we called them
and hunted everywhere for them, all
over our place and in the neighbors'
yards, we could not find them any
where. We felt SO sorry that we
couldn't eat our dinner, but about 3
O'Clock, as we felt better, we decided
to go 20 the circus in RockafelloW's
barn, so we each took two pins and
five pennies to pay our way in.
1t was a fine big barn and the boys
had worked very hard to make it look
nice. They had long boards laid on
top of boxes for US to sit on and all
our little friends were there. They
had real candy and lemonade, too, as
Charles papa had q drug store, and
il was easy for them to get it.
Now, you know, the very incest
thing about circus is the parade, and
we hal all loaned mIr little wagons
to the boys to be used for animal wag-
ons. As soon as we I'll got seated,
the door opened from the carriage
room into the big barn and the parade
came in. RockafeIlows big brown
spaniel dog had his hair all trimmed
off to look like fierce lion; our
Uncle Jim's coach dog made fine
leopard, as the boys had painted his
spots with Easter egg colors. Some
of the boys wera dressed like Indians
and had bows and arrows and rode
ponies The Wallace boys had cage
of poor scared cats and next came our
dog Dandy, ha:nessed to our wagon,
proudly hauling q bird cage in which
sat Peter AMI Teeter. Mama and
Auntie both gave one big screech. We
hurled ourselves headIong on Dandy
and the wagon. Oh, but We were
angry, For little while it looked as
if the show would break up right then
Finally, and because we were told
their eggs wee cold and wouldn't
hatch now, any way, We agreed to let
the boys keep PETER and Teeter un,
til after the performance, when they
would be brought home again.
But, after the show, the boys just
opened the cage and left them to find
their way home as best they could
They we're hungry and thirsty for they
had been in the cage since early morn.

TO affect the color of the hair. Some

A boar allowed to run with sows that

Horses or cattle running in a lot

DISEASE OF STOCK
INDUCED BY ERG0T
Farmer Should Avoid Grazing An
imalS on Infested Areas-No
Effective Remedy.

(By w. w. ROBINS. Colorado Experi-
ment Station)
Ergot is a name applied to one
stage OF fungus that works in the
heads of a number of grasses. 1t
causes one of the Oldest known stock
diseases, the so-called "ergotism."
Ergot forms purple-black straight
or hornlike, hard structures about one
fourth TO one-half inch long. These
structures occupy the position of the
grain in the head of grass. This hard
mass is not a degenerate kernel OF
grass, however The black ergot
masses vary in size and shape, de-
pending upon the plant attached.
They are largest in rye. Ergot de-
Velops upon number OF grasses, chief
OF which are cultivated rye, wild rye,
wheat-grass, meadow grass, timothy
and redtop.
There IS no effective remedy for
ergotism. Hence, one should become
familiar with the appearance OF ergot,
and always avoid grazing stock on
badly infested areas and also avoid
cutting infested areas of grasses for
hay.
