FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Harold and His Cute Shetland
Pcny Colt.
About two years ago I invested
in a pair of Shetland ponies, with
the idea, first, of pleasing the little
boys, and, secondly, I thought they
r ight be profitable to raise for mar
bet. I send you a photograph of
the first pony bred and raised at
Hickory llill farm, shown at Fig.
33d, with his young master, Harold
Morse, aged three. This colt's dam
was i. ■ than three years old at the
time the colt was foaled. She is
about thirty-right inches tall and birth weighs the
300 pounds. At

you find the largest stock to select from as well
old this summer to drive to the cart,
and it is hard telling which learned
the more, the boys or the pony. I
also have learned a few things about
ponies and some about men too. I
have found that some of the mares
are nonbreeders and also that it is
well to have a certificate of registry
come with the pony, or he may
grow and grow and grow until he is
just an undersized horse, too small
for a horse and too big for a pony.
Dealers in this class hurt the" sale
of real ponies, because they offer
their stock at low prices and cause
dissatisfaction among those who
buy. — J. Grant Morse in Rural
New Yorker.
Leaf Buds.
Do yon know, dear children, that
new branches are developed from
buds growing in the joints of leaves,
called axillary buds? As the branch
pushes out it bears a bud upon the
end of it, called the terminal bud.
Fach branch is the result of a bud
which starts out in the joint and
pushes its way until it becomes a
branch and in turn helps form a
new bud. “Study of

Leaves:” “Some people pride them
selves upon their skill in packing excels
trunks but Mother Nature
all her children in this art. She
uniquely folds away a gigantic oak
in an acorn, and the mightiest
branches are tucked up in a tiny
bud.”

things in his favor. One is that he’s

sat down,” as Mark Twain did.
