they said, but he felt sure they were
talking about him.
Let them talk" he said. 81 can run
faster than any of them. and that is
what counts, and what is the use of
scratching when those old hens know
just where all the fat worms are? They
ought to give me one once in while. "
But Chicken Young would have been
wiser if he had listened to what the
wise old hens were saying, instead OF
thinking he was so clever himself, for
Gray Hen had thought of a plan to
teach him a lesson.
IF we can get an end of the clothes
line" said she, Just about the length
of a worm, we can bury it in the
ground, and when Chicken Young is
watching, one of us can scratch and
pick it up. He will jump at it, of
course, because it would look so nice
and plump, then we will laugh at him
and ask him how he likes a rope
worm"
THE very thing" said White Hen.
Here comes the dog. We will ask him
to bite us off a piece of the clothes
line
The dog thought it would be a good
joke, and he soon had the rope for
them, and when Chicken Young went
down the road for walk they buried
the rope.
Iofn x1-ho hn N tho
yard Gray Hen was busy scratching.
She always finds a fat worm" said
Chicken Young, stealing up behind her,
and his eyes nearly popped out of his
little head when he saw what he
thought was the largest worm he had
ever seen dangling from her bill.
Quick as a flash he snatched it from
Gray Hen, and then, thinking she
might run after him because it was an
extra large worm, he swallowed it.
The rope scraped his throat and
choked him, and he jumped about and
tapped his wings, stretching his neck,
his mouth wide open, and gasping for
breath.
The hens had not expected him to
swallow it, and they rushed out from
all sides, looking very much fright
ened.
SLAP him on the back" said Gray
Hen, lit has stuck in his throat"
Shake him by the feet" said an
other. and, after a vigorous slappins
and pounding. the piece of rope slipped
down his throat and Chicken Young
sank upon the ground exhausted.
Il guess you will be a little more
careful next time" said Gray Hen
and look before you leap"
Stolen fruits are not always the
sweetest" said White Hen. Perhaps
you will scratch for yourself next
time" Chicken Young did not reply
to these remarks. but lay very quiet
with open mouth.
He is young" said Gray Hen. land
has learned lesson, am sure; let US
take him to the pan of water and give
him drink; that is what he needs.
Gray Hen helped on one side and
White Hen on the other and they stood
Chicken Young on his feet. After he
had drunk the water he tapped his
wings and stepped about feeling quite
like himself.
You are all right now, said Gray
Hen: run around and stretch your
legs"
Chicken Young walked away with a
crestfallen air and in a few minutes
they saw him scratching in a corner
of the yard.
Il had no idea he would swallow it. .
said Gray Hen. Nor H. said White
Hen, but he will not forget it soon;
and it is just as well he got good
scare"

Choice With Restrictions.

Bobbie and Elsie were told that
there were two apples on the table for
them. Being taught TO consider each
other first, Bobbie said: Take your
choice. Elsie"
NO" said Elsie. you take your

Each kept insisting that the other
take first choice. until finally Elsie
broke the deadlock by taking the big
ger apple. Instantly Boobies eyes
flashed and he exclaimed wrathfully

ROTATION IN SEVERE CASES
SoiI-Producing Crop of Smutted Wheat
This Year May Harbor Spores
for Next Season.

Recent experiments have shown
that in certain sections of the country
the soil of field producing a crop
of smutted wheat this year may har
Dor enough smut spores to cause the
appearance of smut in next years
crop if the field be reseeded to wheat.
This sometimes occurs, where smut
is very bad, in spite of the planting of
treated seed, and shows that in such
localities crop rotation should be prac-
ticed in addition to seed treatment.
Blunt or covered smut of wheat at
tacks no other cereal crop, but other
cereals have their own smut diseases.

Nettleton, Miss, Sept. 20
The Nettleton public schools
are entering upon their fourth
week of the session for 1867.
Although there has been quite
an exodus of families from this
neighborhood. still the enroll
ment is much better than was
expected. The enrolment for
the session of 1856 in the high
school was So. Already the num-
Der in the high school is Sc and
were distributed through the 9Th,
9th, 10th and 18th grades. We
have ten prospective graduates
and one post graduate student.
The high school is fortunate in
securing the services of Mr.. w.
M. Reed, of Houlka, an "Ole
Miss" graduate, as first assist
ant. who, in addition to teaching
English, history and science, is
deyoting his spare time to the
coaching of the boys in football.
As for the faculty in general.
we can say hat each member is
enthusiastic in her work. The
spirit of cooperation in the fac
ulty and student body forecasts
for Nettleton schools a most
promising session.
Prof. E. F. Pickett, our most
worthy principal, is to be COM
mended for his splendid work
also.
1t is an interesting fact that of
IA graduates in II years, 16 of
these have either gone into the
teaching profession or have
taught for one or more years;
one is a banker, four are farm
ers. one a prescription clerk, IA
are students this year, two are
bookkeepers, six have married,
nine have graduated from other
schools, two are dead.
Another fact of interest is that
the number who are attending
college is now on the increase:
1914 furnished students
