Preston, - v R e A Goose's Love for a Dog. Once there was a goose.that loved a dog. s0.much she.could not be made .to 8o with the rest of the geese to roost at night. She’ would sit at _the yard gate in' sight of the dog. .When the dog went out of the yard she would surely: follow him. 1If: the dog barked at anyone she would run. up to the person .he, was barking at. For two years she kept up this etrange love for the dog. - . Sauan o t At last the dog.fell ill.: She would sit beside the.dog all day long. The poor goose would starve-to death but wonldn't go home. : At, last._the dog died. - She. did not live,three weeks after the dog. Now what do'you think the goose loved the dog for? It was this: One day long previousa sly_old fox. came to the yard and ! sprang upon the paor goose, He took | her by the neck and started home. He thought he would have a.fine dinner; doing and started barking at him. He did not pay attention to him.. The dog would say: “You old thief of a fox, let that goose go or I'll bite you it} cheerfully at his sister. . but the brave dog saw what he was | to pieces.” The dog got hold of the fox and tore him to pleces. _The' goose went up to the dog and said Quack;- Quack, Quack, by which she ‘meant “‘You dear dog, you have saved my life.” Now you know why the goose loved the dog. y CARRIE DELESSIO, Age 13.

For a progressive nation, our roads are very s There’s a reason for this. There ,always is. The reason, in North Amer- ica, 1s that when the great western “country was developed, railroads had already been invented. Railroads were . quicker, so we built them first. Now, ‘we have to go to work and build roads, | In Europe they built the roads first. A boy who wants to get ready for ‘that career needs to prepare himself ‘ along three lines. First of all, he needs “his mathematics, and especially trig- “ onometry, so that he can do surveying. Then he needs to work on the questions +dealing with the strength of material and their .durability; asphalt, .woo blocks, crushed stone and the like. Then - he needs-tolearn enough architecture _and engineering for the building of © bridges and culvers. - y In the practical end, it’s easy for a boy to get a job as .a surveyor's as- “sistant during the summer vacation. If he.lives in a city, there’s a lot to be learned by watching the repairs of "‘streets and chumming up with the fore- “man on the job. A grizzled old fore- man. will often tell an interested lad secrets which can't be found in any .books. Then, too,” good nature and the knack of handling men is a great asset.. . For the boy who wants adventure ‘there’s a demand for roadbuilders from China to the Caucasus. For the patri- otic boy there’s 2 chance of doing one f the most needed things in the United tates: For the boy who likes city “life, there’s a chance for such work in every ci Everywhere and all the ime, there’s a job for the road-builder, and, at the end of each day’s work, he can- go home confident that he's made the world-a better place to live in.

HYDE t < ®Tell us how to build some bird- |’ houses that are different, Uncle Bob— :om;tl‘l;lng that the other fellows have- o't built” . ““If " you < know what bird-houses should be like, Sonny,” came the prompt reply, “you ought to be able to see ideas in any pile of boxes or tin cans. The birds don't care about the beauty of their houses. They seek safety and shelter. All that a bird-house need be is merely a Box or a can that is weather-proof. It should have a perch. The door should be from 1% to 2% inches across, depending on the size of the bird fyou wish to attract. It must be out of reach of cats and other ene- mies of birds, Here are.some designs that will start you on the track of novel ideas: “The Bird Apartment House (Fig. 1) is made of several flat boxes (say 18 . inches square and 6 inches high) set on top of a pole and covered with a roof. Each box should have four doors and should be divided into four apartments, as shown. The boxes may be set squarely,” on top of each other, or diagonally fo provide perches. “The Bird Tower (Fig. 2) is made of severa: tin cans, set on top of each ‘other with an old funnel for a roof. Boil the cans to remove the labels and to clean them. Cut each door so that the tin flap that is cut may be bent out for a perch. Boards may be placed be- tween, to fasten the cans together, or upright sticks ottside may be used. “The Bird Cabin (Fig. 3) consists of | several tin cans, cleaned, and with doors | and perches, set end to end on a flat board. Cleats on either side will hold them in place, and a gouple of boards | will make a roof. “A Keg-o™-Bird Nest (Fig. 4) is made of an old nail keg, divided inside into four nests, each with its own perch and door. A cheeze box, with sides cut down té 3 inches and placed upside down, makes the roof. “These will give you other ideas. | Remember, though, whatever you bhild, be sure to paint it and to put it out of reach of cats.” 2 ‘The Berry Farmerette CAROLINE M. WEIRICH Katie, the berry farmerette, passed my window yesterday carrying cuttings from her' cherished blackberry and raspberry bushes to some amateur who is starting a plot this spring. In June she will drive by with wagon loads of her choice fruits: tart, red currants; prickly gooseberries; long, sweet blackberries; ‘raspberries, and juicy, big strawberries. Katie .is an ideal farmerette. Her strong body, .untiring patience and care for every detail, coupled with a great love for the out-of-doors and her good -business management have.all contrib- uted to her success. She started with a small patch of half an acre. divided equally among black and red raspberries, blackberries, currants and gooseberries. She had ns training in an agricultural college, al- though that might have helped her. Most of her lessons were learned from practical experience, the advice of her neighbors, government bulletins 'and simple books on home gardening: - This plot brought such profitable re- turns that she bought another plot of a quarter of an acre and set it out with strawberry plants. Katie thinks that strawberries give the best returns for the amount of work expended on them of any of her fruits.. There is never any question about a demand for small fruits. Katie's are always promised weeks ahead, although there are several men raising berries in the same town. If she wanted to in- crease her output and ship the berries to a city iruit or commission man, there would be no doubt about a mare ket. Prices for good fruits are hlgh. The cost of working a small fruit plantation should not be over $125 to $150 per acre. Strawberries and currants can bt made to yield 5000 quarts per acre, blackberries 3000 quarts, and red raspberries, 2,000. When one considers that it requires only a small piece of land, small capital and | no heavy labor, no girl who is inter- ested in small fruits should hesitate to undertake the yenture. t (Copyright, 1920, by J.
