Redwing the Blackbird had done the
same thing among the bulrushes. All
the feathered songsters that had made
joyous the bright day had gone to bed.
But this did not mean that the glad
spring chorus was silent. Oh. my, mo-!
No, indeed The Green Meadows were
silent and the Green Forest was silent,
but, as if to make up for this, the
sweet singers of the Smiling Pool, the
hy1as and the frogs and Old Mr.. Toad.
were pouring out their gladness as if
they had not been singing most Of the
departed day. You see, it was the hour
they love best of all. the hour which
seems to them just made for singing
and they were doing their best to tell
Old Mother Nature how they love her
and how glad they were that she had
brought back sweet Mistress Spring to
waken them from their long sleep.
1t was so peaceful and beautiful there
that it didn't seem possible that dan
ger of any kind could be lurking near.
But Old Mr.. Toad, swelling out that
queer music bag in his throat and sing
ing with all his might, never once for
got that wise saying of his. and SO he
nothing so much as little detached
bit of the blackness Of the Green For
est floating out toward the Smiling
Pool. Instantly he stopped singing.
stopped singing his nearest neighbor
stopped singing: then the next one and
the next, and in a minute there wasn't
a sound from the Smiling Pool, save
the squeak of Jerry Muskrat, hidden
among the bulrushes. That great
chorus stopped as abruptly as the cleo
trio lights go out when you press
button.
Back and forth over the Smiling Pool,
this way and that way, floated the
shadow, but there was no sign of any
living thing in the Smiling Pool. After
awhile the shadow floated away over
the Green Meadows without a sound.
"Hooty the Owl didn't get one of us
that time said Old Mr. Toad to his
satisfaction. Then he swelled out his
music bag and began to sing again.
And at once. abruptly as 1t had stopped.
the great chorus began again, as joy
Gus as before, for nothing had happened
to bring sadness, as might have hap
pened but for the watchfulness of Old
Mr.. Toad.

The cultivation of strawberries Is not
SO difficult but that the home gardener
may look for results which will richly
repay his trouble. The amateur will
not try propagation, but will secure
guaranteed plants from reliable
grower.
While the average life OF q straw
berry plant is only about two years.
because 1t Is usually less expensive
to set out new plants than to care for
the old ones after their second season,
1t is quite possible to keep plants TOT
an indefinite number OF years ana
have them yield abundant fruit crops
A suburbanite who had planted his
strawberries in six hills. instead OF a
row along the side of his fence kept
the same plants for Ave years. ana the
last years crop was the heaviest. "A"
old lady in city has had pet straw
berry plant at the foot of her rose
bush. which she has cared for seven
years. The crown of the plant Is fully
five times its original size and she gets
a goodly handful of fruit from 1t on
alternate mornings for several weeks
While many things may interfere
with the strawberry crop. especially
frost. 1t is doubtful II any other fruit
will yield better profits to the amateur
under good conditions. 1t Is claimed
that the fruit secured from small beds
exceeds in proportion that of the large
commercial acreages. A man with a
bed 20x2S feet claims to have averaged
12s quarts of berries for several years
which would be equivalent to over
900 quarts to the acre. Another man
planted six rows forty feet long and
three feet apart and secured 262 quarts
which would equal 1870 quarts to the
acre. Such crops cannot be counted
upon by the commercial grower as an
average production.

A regular life-saving service for fish

fish commissions, with the cooperation

ate fish-saving expeditions for the ben

ponds along the course of the Missis-
sippi river. In the spring time the river
rises and spreads out over the country.
filling numerous small channels and
hollows In August the water begins
to recede. The large fish note the
warning aed escape. but the little fish
remain until the dried-up channel has
cut off their means of escape. Ulti-
mately these small ponds and channels
dry up completely, and billions of fish
have been lost annually In this way.
The fisn-saving service consists of
parties of men who wade out into these
inland ponds, take up the fish in nets
and restore them to the main body of
the river The fish rescued are about
finger-length and from twenty to forty
large tubs of them have been taken In
a single day from 4 pond not more than
half AN acre in area. Billions of black
bass, perch, sunfish and other edible
species are in this way added to the

Shadow Passes Over the

Here's what Mr.. Toad says,
Heed It we'll. my dear:
"Time to watch for clouds IS
When the sky Is clear

When the sky is clear"
He says that that is the reason that
he lives to a good old age, does Old
Mr.. Toad. I suppose he means that
when the sky is cloudy everybody is
looking for rain and is prepared for It,
but when the sun is shining most peo-
pie forget that there is such thing as
storm. so when 1t comes suddenly
very few are prepared for it. 1t is the
same way with danger and trouble. So
Old Mr.. Toad very wisely watches out
when there seems to be the least need
of it, and he finds 1t always pays.
Over back of the Purple Hills to which
children. the Merry Little Breezes, and
behind which jolly. round, red Mr.. Sun
had gone to bed, there was still faint,
clear light. But over the Green Mead
ows and the Smiling Pool the shadows
had drawn a curtain of soft dusk.
which in the Green Forest became
black. The little stars looked down
from the sky and twinkled, just to see
their reflections twinkle back at them
from the Smiling Pool. And there and
all around it was perfect peace. Jerry
