If he had been a rat instead of a mink he might have remained under the woodpile until darkness came. But Billy is very sure of his ability to take care of himself. He first made sure that no one was about. Then he slipped out from under that pile of wood, and a minute later he was under the barn. . two-year-o- ld Thought the Gray Old Leader. business of stealing food and gnawing holes wherever there . seemed a chance of finding a new food supply, just as if nothing had happened. However, each hole which led into the barn was continually watched by sharp eyes. Those rats did not intend to be taken by surprise a second time. Rats prefer the hours of darkness. They hate the light of day. Perhaps that is because their deeds are deeds of darkness. So, when daylight came most of the rats returned to their beds to sleep. Only underneath the barn where it was dark did any of them continue to run about seeking what mischief they might get into. But the wise, gray old leader saw to it that a watch was kept on each hole just the same as during the night. He didnt think Billy Mink would come in the day time, but he was wise enough to know that Billy Mink is forever doing the unexpected. He suspected that Billy would take great pains not to let the farmer who owned that barn According to Accounts It may be true that worry kills more people than work, says sagacious Sue, but that is probably due to the fact that even those who wont work will worry.

It was at once passed on from rat to rat until every, one in the barn knew that their enemy had returned. T. W. Burgess. TOD Service. .

For a simple dessert that the whole family may eat with impunity, try baked or steamed custards. Prepare them by using two eggs to a pint of milk, a pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, or honey and if all the teeth are good for grinding, add a tablespoonful ' of freshly-grate-d coconut for the top of each custard. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg and chill before serving. To cook, set the custard cups in a pan of water not too deep to boil up and into the cups and cook until just firm enough to be like heavy cream. Test with a knife in the center of each; if it comes out clean the custard is ready to remove from the heat. Take out of the water and place in cold water to chill. We are allowed to give even the small child who has his grinding teeth fresh shredded cabbage as well as grated carrot. Bananas when well ripened are just as important as bread and carrots in the diet. Cabbage with spaghetti is a different way of serving that good vegetable.

Miller, graduate of the University of California at Los An- Account books of 100 years ago and earlier show that the domestic turkeys were then very small. The average weight of those sold in Bos-ton was seven to eight pounds, according to a writer in the Boston Herald. There was, as told in Bentleys Dairy, a farmer and innkeeper named William Breed, at Nahant, early in the Nineteenth century, who had' domesticated wild turkeys which when dressed weighed 14 to 18 pounds each. These were sold in the holiday season at Salem. At New London and Norwich, Ct., in the district which includes parts of that state and Rhode Island, the turkeys were commonly 10 to 12 pounds, and some heavier, up to 14 pounds. This is the area long famous for Rhode Island turkeys, ' Westerly in that state being the great shipping point. Ohio settlers from New England in 1805 and for several years after' found the wild turkeys there a nuisance. It is recorded that at the first seeding of wheat the wild turkeys were so bold that some sowers had to stop and drive them from the neighborhood.
