Presently a black head with a white
stripe right over the top of it ap-
peared in the doorway. A pair of
rather dull eyes blinked sleepily.

Jimmy Skunk.

done his utmost to pull the other out
of the doorway and assert his own

this was Jimmy Skunk. Johnny knew
all about Jimmys little scent gun and
how he uses it and what happens to
those at whom he shoots. No wonder
Johnny had put the brakes on with
such suddenneSs.
You know, Johnny" said Jimmy.
Il found this house with no one at

been rooted out of human nature long
ago.
But nature is not always perfect
Once useful dispositions carry over
into misfit situations. Suspiciousness
is a notable member Of that group. 1t
is often out Of place in modern life.
1t causes people to read a partial
meaning into what you say and do.
And to that same extent you are mis-
understood And so it is that innocent
remarks are sometimes interpreted as
malicious or sarcastic.
The older you get the more likely
YOU are to be misunderstood. Especi-
ally if you are Of genial disposition
and at the same time little unable
to bridge the gap between youth and
maturity You often hear adults say

has little trouble keeping himself up,
Every quill is wee tube of air. Slight
padding only Is needed to get the lazy
one across the stream. Besides the
advantage OIL a thick, furry coat, the
quills add warmth, and so the slow
witted creature does not even need to
hibernate for the Winter. Tree bark
Is always available, with the slight
effort of climbing a trunk tor it.
Porky has a habit of talking to
himself, grumbling, grunting or num-
bling. Perhaps you will hear him
in the Spring, broadcasting his love
song. You can't rave over it. 1t
sounds more like wall of distress
"Ya-ya -ya -yaaaa -a-a-" has little
music in it. But the porcupine
maiden cannot resist its appeal. She
goes with him to his hollow-log apart

The quilts are so lightly imbedded
in the skin that the slightest touch
removes them. On the head these
terrible instruments of torture are
about one inch long and four inches

his weapon to better advantage. He
can swing his quill-studded tail back
and forth with terrific speed What
ever it touches is spiked with needles.
Under a magnifying glass you can
see the barbs, which swell after they
enter your flesh and keep working
their way in. The armored one has
about a thousand quills and re-
placement ability His nose ano his
tummy are his vulnerable spots. The
fisher tosses porky to the ground and
rips him open. The only other foe

The Old Gardener SAYS:

1t is difficult to cultivate the
perennial borders without injur-
ing the roots of the plants or dig
ging up bulbs. For that reason
1t is better to rely on peat moss.
which Is inexpensive and which
can be purchased in bales or bags
from any seedman. If used
rather freely. it keeps the ground
cool and moist, for which reason
less watering is needed. 1t helps
to prevent the growth of weeds
and gives the border a well-kept
appearance. This peat moss may
be used to advantage in the rose
garden. too. although it may be
better to cultivate the ground
until the middle OF June. The
plan Of digging the peat moss into
the ground at the end of the sea-
son is questionable. however, at
least after one or two years.
There is such thing as getting
too much Of it into the soil. 1t
makes perfect mulch. however.
