and buildings where mice are estab-
lished.
The disaRreeable odor which all
shrews emit when frightened or
angry serves to protect them from
many animals. but not from all their
foes. Owls appear to be very fond
OF them. They are responsible for
keeping the shrews in check.
Weasels do their part and include
them as 4 regular part of their
diet. Cats dislike them very much,
though they will kill them and even
bring them home to their babies to
play with. Even a kitten, will not
take q nibble OF q shrew. Birds
OF prey, mistaking them for mice,
will, upon discovering their blunder,
drop them. It Is said that foxes
also will bring the shrew home for
the cubs to play with, but they are
too unsavory for them to sample.
Shrews lead 4 partially under
ground existence. They serve the
farmer insofar as they hunt for
insects Of all kinds. Their shallow
burrows are often seen, but they do
not have any system to them like
those constructed by the moles.
The short-tailed shrew is q sooty
color, slightly paler below. It has
only very short tail. about one
fourth the length of the head and
body. The front teeth are chest
nut brown at the tips. The sense
OF smell is very Reminded, the
shrew is often able to obtain a meal
left by another neighbor because Of
this ability to catch 4 scent that is
some distance away.

Uncle Roy's Corner
By RAMON COFFMAN.

Yesterday we were speaking about
the corn and wheat crops OF the
United States and Canada. Added
together, they amounted last year Il
about $3.50, 900 900 bushels. This i!
almost enough to give two bushels oi
grain to every man, woman and
child on earth.
OF that amount, more than two
thirds was made up Of corn. The
corn crop of the United States is
the largest grain crop raised by any
nation in the world.
Only about one-fifth Of the corn
crop IL used as food for human be-
ines. The rest Is fed to livestock.
The one-fifth used for human
food is extremely important. 1t goes
into millions of cans Of corn and
millions Of boxes of corn flakes, also
into popcorn and corn meal. Corn
starch and corn sirup are other food
products.
Every part OF the corn plant has
value Of one kind or another. The
eobs can be turned into pulp for
stunlng mattresses. Another use of
the cobs is for fuel. Three tons of
eobs produce about as much heat
as one ton of hard wood. The
leaves and stalks supply fodder for
livestock.
A high-grade paper is obtained
from the pith OF cornstalks. The
pith also plays part in making
snokeIess powder.

place that was more like the open
country of the great wide west,

the Green Forest and went over TO

To be sure, it was much overgrown
with bushes and tangles of vines,
but there were open places. and it
was not at all like the dark depths
of the Green Forest, where the
trees were 50 tall and shut out the

with Old Man Coyote for not having
gone away when he, Sammy, had
said he had. OF course, that was
perfectly silly, but do you know
there are lots of people just as silly
as that? They do foolish things and
then try to put the blame on others.
OF course, Old Man Coyote didn't
know anything about this. All that
time when Sammy Jay had been
looking for him and couldn't find
him he had been very busy, very
busy, indeed. He had been making
new home. You see, he had felt
that he could not live with any
peace Of mind in his old home in
the far corner of the Green Mead

knew where it was. He would never
feel safe there again. That meant
that either he must leave the Green

telling every one he met that Old
Man Coyote had left. Then, just
before he fell asleep that night,
what should he hear but the voice
of Old Man Coyote himself. Do you
wonder that Sammy Jay felt cheap
as he sat in a hemlock tree and
thought 1t all over?
Now it is funny thing how some
people feel when they have done
something foolish. They get angry,
not with themselves, but with some
one else who isn't to blame at all
Sammy Jay did. The more he
thought it over the angrier he grew.
And whom. do you thing he was
angry with? Why, Old Man Coyote! !!
Yes, sir, Sammy Jay was angry

together or else that he must find
a very secret place in which to make
a new house, a place where no one
would think to look for him. 1t was
just this last that he decided to do
for he liked the Green Meadows
and the Green Forest too well to
leave them altogether.
Now, on the Green Meadows there
was no place so lonely and which
had so few visitors as the far corner
where he had had his home, so
right away he decided that as this
had been found he would have to
leave the Green Meadows and look
for place close to them. He went
straight to the Green Forest and
all through it, looking for a place
to make new home. But there he
could find no place to please him.
Besides, he didn't care to live in
the Green Forest II he could help 1t.

accounted for by their carnivorous

blood-thirsty disposition. for the
shrew is q fearful killer.
Because OF his intense activity,
the shrew is always hungry. He
is ravenously fond of all kinds Of
flesh, even insects.
None of the shrews appear to
hibernate. They evidently could
not endure q fast that would cover
months; indeed, shrew must have
food every few hours. Even in the
coldest weather, shrews have been

some great rocks which formed

Coyote began to dig, and to his
great delight he found that he could
dig down and under the rocks. 1t
wasn't easy digging, but 1t could be
done. So he went to work with

he was and what he was doing all
