There sat Nanny on an arm of that
old scarecrOw, looking as in

crow they would race. Nanny would
disappear. Then Danny would hunt
for her. Sooner or later he would
find her in one Of those pockets.
Then Danny would hide and Nanny
would try to find him.
They would chase each other in
and out of the sleeves of the old
coat, and up and down the trouser
legs. 1t was very exciting, and they
had no end Of fun You see they fell
that they could play there without
stopping every moment or so to look
and listen for danger, and that was
an experience they had seldom
known before in their lives.
Early one morning they started a
game of hide and seek and Danny
was 'it.' You know that means he
was the one who was trying to find
the other. He had been just little
slow in starting after Nanny, and he
hadn't seen in which direction she
went He didn't doubt in the least
that she was hiding in one of the
many pockets of that old scarecrow
So he started out to look in every
pocket.
She wasn't in any of the pockets

So Danny climbed very softly, tax

he was where he could jump quite
suddenly on the outside of that peck

against that pocket with a little
thump. He expected to feel Nanny's
plump little body through the cloth.
But that pocket proved to be per
fectly flat. There was no one in it.
Danny didn't need to look in it to
know that. "That's funny" said
Danny to himself. I'm sure I've

= To Keep Green Corn

One of my neighbors has been
telling me about the way that her
mother-in-law puts away her green
corn and says that it keeps splen-
diiIy.
Gather the corn with the husks
on, put layer of salt in the bottom
of a clean barrel, then a layer of
com and then salt until the barrel
is filled. Let the last layer of salt
be pretty heavy. Put on a weight
of SOME kind. Make a little brine OF
salt and water and fill the barrel
Put in a cool place, but not where
it will freeze, this neighbor says it
will keep sweet and fresh the whole
year. When you wish to use it
take off the husk and soak the corn
a day and night.
The time has come when all of us
must look out for the first signs OF
sore head among the young chick
ems. [ hope that you are giving
them Epson salts once a week, a
heapin@ teaspOOnful for every four
Give it in their water or in a mois'
mash. Also give them that amount
of sulphur once a week. The sui
phur can be mixed with bran OF
cornmeal and set where they can
eat it as a dry mash.
With the first pimple begin your
work, don't let the sick one run
with the others. I use carbolateG
Vaseline to grease the scabs. some
times I paiant with iodine, or with
the formula I have given you so
often, linseed oil and crude carbolic
acid. Let all of your birds begin to
drink permanganate of potash in
their regular drinking water. it is a
splendid toric and will help them
to throw off the disease.
I hope that all of you will pass
along anay short cuts that will be a
help to others. We are so rushed
these days that all of us need all
the help we can get.
