PRIMROSE QUEEN. Arrows the ocean. In Europe, primroses grow wild, am*, there ere many pretty stories told i.bout them. The one which 1 shall tell you Is a great favorite with the little folks of central Europe, to whom the primrose la known sa toe key flower. The story gore that In a forest—uo one seems to know Just which forest— In a golden castle lives a wonderful fairy queen named Bertha. No one has ever acen It. though many tittle ones have started out hand la hand arercblne through field and woodland. Over bis arm each child may can 1 / a haaket. and this Is to bring borne tue treasure which Is for all who are gum* In the magic castle. Up and down, over hills and vallsys, they wander, mud whenever they meet any one the little ones stand and wait to see If they are s|<oken to, for Queen Berths la said to go wandering •bout, trying now this child and now that one. to And out who U good enough to be her guest. Now she asks this tittle fttvor; now she asks that one. It may Iw that she is hungry and asks to aha re the children's food, or she may carry a heavy basket ask the children to help her And If she la really Queen Bertha by and by she will say very suddenly. “Do you llko primrowes?" Tbe little *•« must answer very politely. “Yew. ma'am: we like primroses very much ' Then the quern smiles snd easting off the disguise she may he wea-*ng. stands dre»»ed In all the lovely fine clothes which fairy queens ought to “Here Is the key of my castle.’ she says, snd bands them a key “You will find It Just over there. Go In and stay as lo-ic a» yj»u like. When you leave you may take a pot of primroare with you. When you get liome dig up the pric.ruwre and you will tlnd a gift at their root*.’ When the little ones roach the castle they are feasted and walled on by the

fairies

If they are greedy end take more than one p«t of the primrose* the flowera ge: heavier suil brevier as they carry them Pome. Then when they dls up the plants, expecting to gel mure gift" tliaii one they find only lumps of lead there If they hate lieen polite and taken only the single pot whl h the queen has toM them Ihev may have they find the pot crumniod and running over with gold aud precious gems, enough to make (hew and their parents wealthy for life

So I went home and talked organising a clnb among the boya'and girls ef my home school W# organised and got along very well I waa sleeted president of the new organisation and called, fourteen meetings during the summer. At one of our meetings we dlacnamd the selection of eeed corn. I had selected my seed last faU and knew just what kind of an ear I had. We tested our corn In a tester, the corn making un average of 00 I-er cent When it was nearly corn planting time I selected my acre of ground along the creek bank. The creek overflows this part of the field about twice a year, but I waa going to take the chance of It not getting ao high. Un April 25 I luted the acre about four Inches tn depth. It took me csir hour, valuing my labor at 80 cents an

hour.

After leaving the ground In this condition for about ten daya 1 derided to plant my com. My father helped me because 1 had to help him. It took us one hour, and we valued our labor at

00 cents.

I went back to my sire In about a week and found that the corn had

later snd found the com was op. was not very long In getting Urge enough to harrow because It was plant-

cd In a sandy toll.

After waiting about ten daya I went down to my acre with a harrow and harrowed the ridges nearly flat. It took me thirty minutes. I found a good ktand and went home very well pleased. In two weeks 1 went hack with my cultivator and plowed my curu about four Inches deep. The com had grown about six Inches in the two weeks. It took me one hour and thirty

minutes.

lu about a week my father told me to glxe my corn another plowing because he did not want the weeds to get a start If the creek did not flood the com cud lose all my work. I did aa he told me. It took one hour. The com had received teveral reins in this peril*1 of time, which made the com grow about twelve Inches taller. I did not get hack to my com for about ten days on account of rainy weather. Wbeu I did get back I found that the corn had a dark green color and was about two feet islL The last plowing took me an hour. I was unable to plow there any more until after wheat cutting. The core was dear, and I did not think tt needed any more cultivating, so It CM not get any more. I left the com alone until October and began husking. When 1 got through busking my crop I was anxious to see how much money 1 had made during the summer. I *uuud under the «-xleone column 3U cents for li*ting the tirst time. <*> cent* the second tt®* with planting. 15 rente for harrowing after planting 11.15 for cultivating three times, fc> cents for seed, rent S3, and Sb* for husking.
