you may come up and recite the
piece about Little Blue Riding Hood.
IT'S a different story from Little
Red Riding Hood" the Lady Mouse
explained to Uncle Wiggily.
81 should think so'' chuckled the
bunny, and he was just going to
whisper to the Lady Mouse to look
at Jennie s fa checks when the
little chipmunk SRI began to recite.
But she had no more than said:
"Once upon u time Little Blue
Riding Hood - when in through
the open door cf the school came
the Fuzzy Fox.
ooh! Obi" screamed the animal
girls. ooh! Oh! " squeallcd the
Lady Mouse. But Jena:e Chipmanl
cried: Don't be afra.d, III throw
some sharppointed beechnut3 at him
from my pockets! -
And with that Jennie took some
sharppointed beechnuts from he.
pockets and threw them at the Fox.
And where do you suppose Jennie s
pockets were! Why inside her cheeks
on either side of her face. That
is where all chipmunks have their
pockets, and Jennie s check pouches
or pockets were filled with the nuts.
And when the sharp-pointed nuts
hit the Fox on his nose he howled
" lowl' and ran away.
No wonder / thought Jennie ;
cheeks were fat-she has her pockets
there; they were filled with nuts!''
laughed Uncle Wiggily when the
Fox had gone. Then Jennie spoke
her piece, Sammie picked up the
nuts she had thrown and Jennie ate
them at recess.
So it all happened for the best,
you see, and if the door knob doesn t
turn around so fast that it gets dizzy
and can't jump through the key
hole, III tell you next about Uncle
Wlggily's rocking chair.

"Hello, Jennie, Susie and Sam

a jolly smile and twinkle of his
pink nose. "Going to school, sup
pose. And look at Jennie!' What
fat cheeks she has! | never knew
you to be so puffed up before Jen-
ME. You must be drinking lots of
milk!"
"Oh, no, Uncle Wiggily,' Jen-
ME started to say. "Of course |
drink some milk, out the reason my
cheeks are puffed up is"
But that was all Jennie had time
to say, for just then Sammie cried
out:
"Therc goes the last bell. Hurry
or we'll be late!'
So Sammie, Susie and Jennie
scampered on to the Hollow Stump
School, leaving Uncle Wiggily stand
ing on the woodland path in the
bosky dell.
"Good children-al three of
them," said the rabbit gentleman
to himself. % Think I'll hop along
to school and hear them recitc their
lessons to the Lady Mousse
So Uncle Wiggily hoped to the
Hollow Stump School, arriving soon
after the morning singing, and just
about as the first classes were call
ed.
Welcome, Uncle Wiggily!'
squeaked the Lady Mouse. "We
are pleased to have you come to
our school. Sit on the platform with
me and I'll have the animal chill
dren step up and say their lessons. -
Just then Sammic Littlctail was
seen to lean over and whisper to
his sister Susie.
"Why, Sammic! I am surprised
at you'll" squeaked the Lady Mouse.

Hearst has been supporting the OBJ

for recognition of Obregon By the

BUYING PURE BRED SIRES

Agricultural College Ncws-Notes,:-
No hard and fast rules can be laid
down as 20 how and wherr 20 buy
good herd sires. It is a good plan
for beginners to get the advice and
assistance Of an experienced Judge be-
fore making a purchase. Not every
producer or registered sire Is good
one; cuIls appear in the best herds.
Most county agents and high school
agricultural teachers are good stock
Judges. or at least have sufficient
knowledge Of breeds and herds to en-
able them to render valuable assist
ance in selecting stock. The better
class of breeders will assist new
man to get start by giving him good
value for his money. The Colorado
College is always ready
to hep breeders locate good stock.
Purebred sires give best results
when always of one breed. Judicious
ross-breeding may give good results
for market feeding, but when cross
bred females are saved for breeding
their offspring do not have
that uniformity of type and form that
IS so desirable in market stock. This
is only obtained by continuing one line
Of breeding.

CUT COST OF LIVING BY
CURING YOUR OWN PORK

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Today it costs twice as much to
get pork from the farm to the con-
sumer's table as it did before the war.
In 1913 the spread between the pric.
of hogs and the retail price of pork
products per pound was IL cents.
The spread is now about % cents. A.
no time in the past could the farmer
make bigger saving by curing his
own meat than at the present time.
By curing their own meats farmers
not only cut down their meat bills,
but have variety of delicious meats
products thruout the year. OF all
classes the farmer should have the
best and most abundant supply of
meat
Preparing the winters supply of
meat is not long or hard job. In
half a day two or three men can
easily butcher six or seven hogs. and
an additional half-day's time win be
required to cut the hogs up. render
the lard, make the sausage and take
care of the meat. With the parcel
post and other convenient methods
of transportation, it is possible for
the farmer to make a superior meat
product and to build up profitable
from farm to consumer trade. OF
course, one of the important things
for the farmers of Colorado is to
make and cure enough meat on the
farm for their own use. The larger
