to the Green Meadow, which bega n
just beyond the fence that bounded
Farmer Browns cornfield. Danny
had gone to get his breakfast. He
was busily eating blade. of grass
when happening to look behind him
he saw the grass moving as if some
one were creeping through it very
softly. 1t was just pure good luck
that Danny had looked back when
he did. Through the grass stems he
saw something black. / was Black
Pussy the Cat from Farmer Brown S
house!
Danny dropped. his piece of grass
and started to run. Black Pussy's
ears must have caught the faint
sound of Danny's footsteps, for in
stantly she sprang. She all but
landed on Danny's short tail. Danny
squeaked with fright, and my, my,

as if those short legs OF his could
move SO fast.
Now it is probable that if the
grass had been short I would have
no more stories to write about Danny
Meadow Mouse. But the grass was
tall, and Black Pussy couldn't see
Danny. She had to be guided by her
ears and by movements of the grass
as Danny ran through it. Several
times she all but pounced on him.
1t was long time since Danny had
been in such danger.
At first Danny was too frightened
to think. He was to frightened to do
anything but run. But he knew he
must get to a safe hiding place soon.
Then into his head popped the mem

There are two good rules

Never be ieve anything bad

Never tell even that, unless
you feel that 1t is absolutely

If you will follow these rules
you may lie 'lown in peace, and
God will take care of you if you
keep your lips from evil and your
heart from guile.

dies of the drill rows.
The fertilizer formula recon.
mended for lettuce will be found
quite satisfactory for rawberries.
AS rule, from three to five hun
dred pounds of fertilizer should be
used with Strawberries. AS this crop
takes year to grow before fruiting
it is important to see that plants
are kept in vigorous condition. AL.
so, as this crop has a short period in
which to fruit, it is essential that il
be well fortified with formula con-
tanning a high percentage Of readily
available plant food. The fertilizer
should be put in between the drill
rows early in the season and WE'LL
worked into the soil. Side applica.
tons of nitrate of soda varying in
amount from fifty to one hundred
pounds may be used with advantage.
A good deal depends on soil and
seasonal conditions. 1t is important
to put the fertilizer down the mid.
dies Of the drill rows and keep it
from direct contact with the plants.

There is such thing as being too
safe. Yes, sir, there is such thing
as being too safe. 1t is a good thing
to have to watch out for danger at
least once in a while. Those who
don't have to are apt to forget that
there is such a thing as danger.
This is the way 1t was with Danny
Meadow Mouse. Since he and Nanny
had made their home in the old
scarecrow in Farmer Browns corn
field they hadn't been in danger
once. OF course none of their enemies
ever thought to look for them in
such place as that old scarecrow.
So day after day, and night after
night, they played about and went
and came as they pleased. At first
Danny had kept a sharp watch for
possible danger as he had been
obliged to do all his life. But as the
days went by he thought Of danger
less and less often, and finally not
at all.
