Thrift And The Busy Bee.

knew farmer who forty years
ago bought not more than six old
fashioned bee gums From a few
years after this purchase until now
his family has never been without
bees, and for most of that time there
has been abundance of honey. Some
years there has been none to sell, as
his policy was to sell only the sur
plus. but for most of these forty
years each season has brought in
some honey money. Does any
one know any better eating than
good whole wheat bread with fresh
honey and JERSEY milk and butter?
The bee works without wages, feeds
himself, and returns you a portion of
his produce. He rises early, works
late, and his presence in the field is
a great benefit to every plant he Wis
Its. He takes nothing from YOU
which is anv value to YOU, and gives
you in return the best sweet in all
the world. If YOU wish to turn your
children toward live stock which
paws we'll WHY not consider the
bee? l wonder if the schools in mis-
sissippl are teaching anything about
bees? | wonder how many schools
have COLONY in connection with
their plant where lessons NAV be
given to every child there concerning
the bee? Mauy bows are more inter
ested in bees than they are in books.
Maybe this Is the reason some teach
ers desire to keep the bees out of
competition with the books. What
would il mean for Mississippi il ev-
cry farmer in this state were doing
| lust what the farmer whom ! knew
forty years ago did keeping sufficient
ipees to feed the family of average
years all the sweets it needed?
wonder If the bee industry i'm this
state has not greatly decreased for
the this twenty yearss If il has, |
wonder why 1t is?

Thrift And The Educated Hen.


| BY g. r. Howefton Prof. Business Practice
Miss. A Il MColleRe.
Once q teacher asked a class IN a.
rithmetic, What is an average2"
One boy very promptly replied.
Something hen lays on. Wher
asked for his authority be very easily
found the page in his arithmetic IN
when it said "The common hen lays
on an average OF 80 eggs a year.
But it is not the common hen" we
now have. suppose the average
now of the modern, educated hen
would be fully twice this number of
eggs a year. This makes 1t quite
easy to show a clear profit of l5) a
a year from the average hen. In
casting about now to teach the
young of Mississippi the value Of
live stock, the hen offers us a solu-
tion. She may be kept on small
reas of ground She is easily super
vised. She sleeps well at night.
Very little attention keeps her IN
health, She sings as sweet as she
can. If we take advantage of her
bilty, her energy, her industry, we
are sure to be awarded for our atten-
tion. Our sister state Of Tennessee
ships each year more than twenty
million dollars worth of poultry pro-
ducts. One single town ships al
most three millions of this. ] wish
that parents aud teachers every
where in this state would begin to
teach the children how to become
thrifty by way OF the hen. To be-
gin with she is fine example o.
thrift. ] recall mother who always
put her boy to bed with story OF
the hen and her little family. Seems
to me that was real fine story 1t
included the "early-to bed and early
to rise" qualities OF the hen Also
the hen S industry bow diligently
how early and how effectively, the
hen worked. That boy grew up
with love for the "biddies" as bis
mother taught him to call the little
ones, and his admiration for the hen,
he says, is AWAY with him. He new
er sees hen husthng for her chill
dren that he does not want to take
off his hat to her. Right COW while
we are trying to solve the problem of
the high cost of living. why not
turn to the hen? Why not also turn
the attention of our uneducated chill
dren to the educated hen?

When it floats among the trees.

But tbs God that hath bereit us.
He can all our sorrows heal.
Peaceful be thy silent Stun ers,
Peaceful in the grave so low.

Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day Of life is fled.
Then in heaven with Joy to greet you
Where no fare we'll tear is shed.
