HOMELESS. a STORY.


l was born out on the shores OF Lake
Michigan. The first years of my life
were spent in being prepared for a life
OF usefulness. / heard nothing else
from the time l was born but that l
must be of use. In order that l might
be of the greatest use to man, | was
cared for very carefully. l was al
ways taught to avoid rain and snow,
as they would impair my health and
strength.
One day a farmer from Charles
county, Maryland, saw me and imme-
diately thought | would be of great
service to him, SO that left my warm,
dry home in the city where had lived
for some time, and went with him. But
Oh, how great the change in my life !!
was no longer kept in the warm and
dry building had always been used
to living IN. was left out in the rain
and dew. Soon it began to get cold
and ! thought surely will get shelter
now, but, alas, | was doomed to stay
beneath several inches of snow for
several weeks until was almost unfit
for service. am still without home.
Is there no help Tor me l am farm
implement without a shelter,

County Agent.

Agricultural Notes.

Don't forget the Charles County
Agricultural Exhibit, November l4th
and 10Th.
This week ought to see most of the
wheat of Charles county put in the
ground. But If there is any one who
has not put it in this week or next
week, he will not be so very late un-
less we have an early winter.
These cool days OF early Autumn
will be excellent times for getting the
pullets ready for laying in December
and for the rest OF the Winter. Feed
plenty OF the right kind of food and
your chickens can be made to a pay
good profit all winter. If any one is
interested enough in making their
poultry pay in winter, write to Mr. II
w, Hickey, College Park, Nd. He
will send upon request his circular,
Winter Egg Production. What Others
have done, any one in Charles county
can do.
Now is the fine to commence putting
little extra corn over to the pigs we
expect to butcher when the weather
gets cooler. The extra corn now will
not be used in keeping the pigs warm,
but will be put up as lard.
