and when | come out and start towards the
granary to get wheat for them, they come
running along after me. And there is
big pile of brush near the granary. They

from my hand, while the rest of them are
somewhat wilder. Cousins, did any of you
ever see a humming birds nest? ! found
one this summer, the first one ever saw.
And, oh, what cute little nest it was?
The nest was about the size of my thumb.
There were two little eggs in it. They
were about as large as common sized
bean. We had a good many flowers in our
front yard, and the old birds would come
to suck at the flowers. After the little
ones Matched. they all came to suck at the
flowers. One day l saw all four of them in
the flowers. thought | would make the
flowers rich for them | went into the
house and got some honey in glass and
got vaccinating needle and went out and
injected some honey in the flowers. 1t

flying around the flowers. and Mr.. Bee had
come i'll to get his share Of the honey /

bee gum and catch hive of bees, but no,
