front Of which Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy had begun digging, One Of
them opened close under little bush
and the other opened back of a
bramble tangle. They were not as
big as the front door. They were
only just big enough to slip through
You see, they were not intended for
use, except tn time of danger. And
the reason there was no telltale
yellow sand in front of them was
because Mrs. Reddy had started
those back halls that led to those
back doors from inside the house
and had pushed the sand behind
her then out the front door. Oh,
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy are very
clever, very clever, indeed. And
they believe in preparedness. They
were not expecting any danger in
their house, but if it should come
they would have a way of slipping
out and away unseen.

done In his life before, but was it
not to be his own, his very own,
house and home? The very thought
turned the work into fun, real fun.
And so, at last. the new house in
the Old Pasture was finished and it
was made just as Mrs. Reddy wanted
it. Before the front door was a
mound of yellow sand. It told the
story of what was there to who ever
happened along that way. But that
couldn't be helped. The sand had
to come out or there could be no
house, and Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
had no means of carrying that sand
away as Striped Chipmunk does
when he makes a new house. They
have no pockets in their cheeks.
But there were two back doors, and
in front of these there wasn't trace
of telltale yellow sand. No, sir,
there wasn't a trace of yellow sand.

little Jimmy! Last year T told my
son to watch the cabbage patch. but
he let the worms grow. He said he
wanted them to grow SO the robins
could eat them!"
1t is too bad that cabbage worms
destroy so many cabbages. but that
is the way of nature. Each kind of
plant has its enemies" and watch
full care Is needed for the success OF
vegetable gardens. In the case of
cabbages, the right kind OF spray
may be better than setting children
to work watching for cabbage
worms.
Although some cabbages are lost
each season, millions of them grow
to full size as fine, healthy plants.
They give us minerals-iron and
lime-as we'll as vitamins.
Vitamils A. B and c can be OBJ
tanned in good supply fran raw cab
bage. Served as "coleslaw," raw
cabbage makes a dish which most
persons enjoy.
When cabbage is cooked. it loses 4
part Of its vitamin content, and
when it is boiled the water takes
away minerals. Cabbage does not
contain much other food value.
Years ago cooked cabbage was
described as "fillin' but not lastin'," :"
and that Is about the truth. There
are, however, ways Of baking and
steaming it which allow it to keep
most Of its vitamins and minerals.
The common cabbage plant has 4
rather short stem to 60 with its
large head. Yet there are cabbage
plants with very long stems. I am
thinking chiefly Of the Jersey cab
bage" raised on the island Of Jersey
in the English Channel.
The Jersey cabbage commonly
has . stem from 6 to 8 feet high, but
nine feet Is not the. record. Jersey
has produced cabbage plants with
stems which measure from IL to 16
feet! The stems are made into canes
to sell to tourists. Jersey folk use
the stems As rafters for small
thatched buildings,

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
There are houses in bushes and houses
There are ugly houses and house that
But Of all the houses I ever have found.
There are none that are safer than
those underground.
Just as soon as the frost was out
of the ground so that they could dig,
Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy, who,
you remember, was beautiful Miss
Swiftwood before she became Mrs.
Reddy, went to work up in the Old
Pasture to make their house. You
see, they were very anxious to begin
housekeeping as soon as possible.
They had searched every nook and
corner of the Old Pasture and finally
had decided on little opening
among the bushes, where on a gentle
slope the sun lay warm most of the
day and where they could dig down
under big rock in such way that
If they should be so unlucky as to
be discovered by Farmer Browns S
Boy he couldn't possibly dig them
out.
Reddy Fox didn't have much to
say about the plans for that new
house. He was quite willing to leave
them to Mrs. Reddy. He wanted
above all things that she should be
pleased and satisfied. So he did
what she told him to, III spite Of the
fact that it seemed to him that she
was going to a great deal of unneces-
sary work. Reddy isn't any too fond
of work. He would have been quite
content with a hall half as long and
\ bedroom half as big as Mrs. Reddy
insisted on. He would have been
quite content with one back door.
In fact, he said as much. Mrs.
Reddy's only reply was to kick a
pawful of sand behind her just
enough harder to strike Reddy full
in the face as he watched her dig.
Reddy didn't say another word. He
brushed the sand out of his hair
and sat down out of range. When
Mrs. Reddy wanted to rest she
backed out and Reddy, looking bit
sheepish, took her place and made
the yellow sand fly. He knew that
Mrs. Reddy had made up her mind
how that house was to be, and that
was all there was to it.
So Reddy bravely did his share.
though it seemed a terrible waste
of good time and hard work. When
they were too tired to dig longer,
they would take q sun bath or q
nap on the warm, sunny slope. or
they would go hunting. Then they
would come back to work with new
Joy in what they were doing. It was
more real work than Re4dy ever had

definite understanding that all
snakes are friends of ours. Those
that are dangerous do not seek to
harm us. They are merely protect
ing themselves with the weapons
given to them by the Creator.
Snakes kill mice. Mice destroy
millions OF valuable trees. Man in
sists on killing snakes because he
thinks all of them are harmful.
Every year thousands of harmless
little milk snakes are killed. Some
very foolish person originated the
legend that these snakes milk COWS!
The formation of the mouth and
the nature of the reptile make this
an impossible feat. First, snakes
will not touch milk. The average
sized milk snake can hold about two
teaspoons of drinking water. 1t is
true that milk snakes have been
found about stables. There are mice
to be found in these places.
This reptile reaches a length Of
Is inches. 1t is quite slender, pos
sessing small head which Is slight
ly distinct from the body. The scales
are perfectly smooth and possess
satiny sheen. They are in 81 rows.
The color ground is gray above
with series OF large, chestnut
brown or ohve-brown saddles on the
back These are narrowly margined
In black. These blotches extend
down the sides to about the fifth
row of scales. There are smaller
blotches on the side. The abdomen
is white, boldly marked with square
black spots.
The young, when newly Matched,
displays the same pattern worn by
the parents. But the blotches on
the back and sides are reddish,
bordered in velvety black. The half
grown members of the family have
beautiful crimson blotches and at
this age resemble their cousins, the
Southern milk snakes in their adult
coloration.
Milk snakes have Secretive dis
position. They prowl about at night
and hide under debris. They seem
to appear at twilight or very early
in the morning
The eggs are oval, with a leathery
shell. and present the same external
appearance as the familiar toad
stool. Eggs laid In July will hatch
one month later The female coils
her body closely about them. She
does not give the young snakes food
or teach them to find it. They are
on their own from the first moment
they leave their egg-shell prison.
