Well, this side line Of the farm is
no doubt mighty well worth a far
greater amount Of attention than it

Wheat is the best single grain. But
better is wheat and oats and barley

so good to the dear chickens.

Yes, sir. she certainly IS very smart.

pen. You remember that Hlacky
saw Digger the BADGER got oven
with her for making run Of him and
saying unkind things about him.
Now he would see her get back at
Digger. and so she was glad that
he was there.
"He laughed at me-" she mutter-
ed, but now he'll have a chance TO
laugh at Digger. Hell sec that no
one can get the best Of Granny Fox.
I'll show him"
She could see Digger lying fiat
on the ground. trying his best TO
keep out OF sight. and her lips curl
ed with scorn. Hes afraid" she
thought quite forgetting the fact
that she herself was afraid TO stand
and fight Bowser. Hes scared out
OF his wits"
When she had almost reached
Digger she ran faster so as TO get
farther ahead of Bowser Then she
gathered herself for long jump.
II was very long jump indeed and
II took her right over Digger and
far enough beyond TO be quite out
OF his reach. The moment her feet
touched the ground she ran n little
way and then turned with smile
on her crafty face TO zee what would
happen. On came Bowser. and then,
quite suddenly. something happened,
but not at all what she had cx.
pected would happen No, sir. e.
wasn't at all what she had expected
would happen. Indeed. II was so
very different from what she hsd
expected would happen that she
hardly knew what 10 do or think.
You see Digger the Badger didn't
behave at all as she had thought he
would He didn't wait for Bowser
10 reach him. Instead. he suddenly
sprang forward TO meet Bowser. He
WAS snarllng in way that made
such an ugly sound that Il sent
little, cold shivers all over Granny
Fox. His lips were drawn back so
that he showed all HIS long. sharp
teeth. Ills eyes seemed to fairly
blaze. Yes. sir. that's what they
did. And somehow he seemed TO
have grown Tremendously all in
minute. He looked almost twice as
big az Granny had over seen him
before. This was because his long
hair stood on end. Altogether he
looked so fierce that n was no won.

and then hastily backed away.
