“Well Dear, congratulate me—I finally found a teacher
for our miniature piano!’
Mr. Webster puts it succinctly
and covers the technicalities.
Scarecrow: an object, usually sug-
gesting a human figure, set up to
frighten crows away from crops;
hence, anything terrifying without
danger. Scarecrows have been
adorning fields and gardens for
generations and are now a pleas-
ant part of the countryside folk-
lore. By and large they resemble
human figures; they offer a com-
fortable perch to the crow which
acts as a lookout for his mates
that are pulling corn. Some scare-
crows may be terrifying to grass-
hoppers or June bugs, but as far
as the countryman has been able
to determine none yet has terri-
fied Corvus brachyrhynchos.
Sophisticated urban dwellers may
not get the distinction but a scrae-
crow has little to do with crows.
On a raw, rainy day a man likes
to build a fire in the old stove in
the cluttered farm shop and con-
struct a very special scarecrow.

According to the psychologists who
so ably use seven-syllable words
to express everyday mental pro-
cesses, each of us has an uncon-
scious yearning to express himself
artistically and creatively. A man
can really go to town on a scare-
crow without deep inhibitions act-
ing as a brake.
The body is easily made of a
board. Then with a series of holes,
arms and legs can be fastened by
bolts at peculiar and arresting an-
gles. With several available arms
and legs sawed out at peculiar an-
gles one can fashion unusual poses.
The main artistic outlet, however,
is the carving of heads to fasten
to the neck piece. With an easily
whittled wood such as pine a man
with imagination and a modicum
of skill can make several silhouette
caricatures that bear a recogniz-
able likeness to certain citizens of
the town. It is easy to exaggerate
noses, chins and brow formations.
It is a pleasant day’s work to build
a first-class scarecrow and whittle
out a few faces. A good scarecrow
shows that a man takes pride in
his craftsmanship. It adds a spot
of interest to the countryside scene
and furnishes chuckling amusement
to passersby. The crows have no
objection. They are intelligent
birds and probably approve a man’s
handiwork.

Dear Barnyard:
Poor Susit—for her natural and ancient urge to keep nature in
balance she has been condemned to exile. The Barnyard, we have
been informed, does not want its cat because she killed an oriole.
I don’t think it’s fair, so I have elected myself Susit’s champion, to
see if I can get her a pardon.
Long long ago, before Susit’s ancestors had been adopted by man-
kind, the cat had to feed itself. By stealth and by speed it learned
to provide its own food. Small ground animals which could be
caught away from sanctuary, little birds which could be surprised
before they reached the distant safety of the air, comprised its diet.
Susit’s kind has always done it that way. :
Not even man could change the ways of the cat. He fed it milk
and table scraps, and once, thousands of years ago, even made it a
god and pampered it to the limit. Yet the cat refused to go soft and
the wild ways were retained. When it caught vermin it was praised;
when it caught something in the other category the cat was beaten
and bullied and shot. But still the bravely independent cat refused
to give in. The dog, a sycophantic animal, soon learned to do what
was expected of it; but the cat, never!
Therefore, when last week Susit killed the oriole she fell from
grace, but how was she to know? Something dim and distant turn-
ed in her brain and in her belly and with cunning she swooped down
upon the bird and did it in. It wouldn't be at all unjust if she were
to ask, “What is wrong with what I did ?”
Susit destroyed beauty, that is true. But the kind of beauty Susit
destroyed can be replaced. Life and reproduction are not static, but
Susit’s hunger and the hunger of her kind is forever. The bird meant
beauty and it was sad to see it lost, but on the very day the Post
told about her, I saw our own black cat leaping through the garden,
lithe, full of the joy of existence, loving the power and rhythm he
felt in himself.
the hunter or the victim ? :
Please believe me, there is nothing personal in my defense of a
cat I never met. I think very much of all the people who belong
to the Risley Barnyard. I think very much of all song birds. This
time, though, I'm completely on the side of Susit, to the point of
vehement prejudice . . . .
She ’s the one that is misunderstood.

TWO PALOMINO COLTS
Dear Barnyard:
The following is part of life around a stable.
yard stories and especially liked last week’s.
As you know, when a mare is in foal you never know what color
to expect; so for over eleven months we worried about two Palomino
mares, Golden Saint and Golden Lady, hoping they would be O.K.
and also hoping for nice healthy colts, and it is a worry. Well, the
first colt was eighteen days late so we spent most of our days and
some of the nights in the stable. >
We have speakers from the kitchen to the stables and we had
one of them in the maternity stall so we could listen at all hours
of the night and on hearing any unusual sound we would run out to
the stable. After days and nights of this the colt was finally born
at 9:40 in the evening, March 30th.
The mare was bred to our 5-gaited stallion, Beau King, who is a
chestnut, and of course we were hoping for a Palomino; however,
we had about a fifty-fifty chance, so that was one of our main
thoughts "also during the long months of waiting. Well, our wait
was finally over and much to our delight was just what we wanted,
a beautiful, big Palomino colt. We were thrilled with him; we stayed
and looked at him until 4 o’clock in the morning.
Now the time was getting near for the next one and we began
going through the same thing. Much to our surprise however, the
colt was born Saturday evening at 7:30, May 22nd, only 14 days
late. This mare was™lso B¥e& to the chestnut stallion and tie foal
was also a cute little Palomino colt. He refused to eat, however,
until 3:30 in the morning; so we had to feed him with a bottle.
We also discovered soon after birth that he had colic so we went
to work on that and at 5 o'clock he seemed much better. But at
6:30 he became worse and was in terrible pain. Dr. Hogg came
around 10 o’clock and he became much quieter in the afternoon.
But around 6 o’clock he began to roll with pain and believe me it
was a very pitiful sight. The doctor worked on him a couple hours
having returned at 7 o'clock, but in the meantime we felt sure he
was going fast. At times he had very little pulse and of course
couldn’t stand up or even eat from the bottle. Around midnight he
got a little stronger and started to eat, and in the morning at 10
o'clock he got up by himself and ate without help and his pains
stopped entirely at 11 6’clock.
To all indications if the pain does not return he will be O.K.
Believe me that was an experience. We stayed with him day
and night, not getting any sleep and forgetting to eat until Monday.
Loving horses as we do we were pretty badly broken up about it.
It was very pitiful watching the poor little thing suffer and think-
ing about the effect it would have on the mother if she lost it as
the mares don’t want them out of their sight for a minute until they
are about 5 or 6 months old and I can’t imagine what it would
be like for the mare if one died.
Sunday evening at our barn was like a combination of old home
week and a wake, with many of the horsemen from the valley and
Back Mountain meeting each other there on the one hand, and
everyone sorry for the suffering of the little fellow, on the other.
All in all it was wonderful to have the sincere sympathy of the
many friends and neighbors who came.
I enjoy your Barn-
Sincerely,
Ann Stoeckert

THE SPARE TIME GARDENER
You don’t have to go “all-out” and try to grow all the vegetables
you eat. The big charitable organizations are supported by many
not the few. A hundred pounds of food to each Freedom Garden
would make two billion pounds of food. Sounds astronomical, but
you should get 100 pounds of tomatoes from a dozen plants.
Let’s get to work. You need a sunny spot; 5 pounds of 5-10-5
fertilizer or Vigoro to 100 square feet; or 10 pounds of dried sheep
or cow manure. You need a spading fork, a steel-toothed rake, and
a hoe. Of course, you can go fancy and clutter up the garage with
a myriad of tools, one for each shot as in golf; but the Fork, Rake,
and Hoe you need, and you need good ones. >
If you use Vigoro, apply it after spading the ground, and rake
it into the top three inches. If you use dried sheep or cow manure,
spread it on first, and spade it in. Do not spade the ground until
it crumbles on the fork, or you will have brick-bats all summer.
Spade only as much ground as you will need to plant in three or
four days, a heavy rain will mean the spading should be done over
again. . t
After spading, rake the ground thoroughly. Get the rake teeth
into the ground 2 or 3 inches, don’t just smooth the surface. It’s
hard work; but develops a wonderful appetite.
Don’t make the rows too close, leave enough room for cultivation
and harvesting. Line up rows with a garden-line and put a label
at one or both ends.
Plant now: peas, beets, lettuce, radishes, onions, carrots, etc.
Take a chance on bush beans. If you do not have a reliable source
handy for cabbage and tomato plants, sow seed right in your garden
and transplant later to their regular spot. Tomatoes grown in this
manner are generally not so liable to blight as those grown in hot-
beds.
Save room for a few flowers for cutting. Spot Gladiolus through
the garden for color and for cutting.
Sure, there’ll be bugs later on, but modern
them easy to control.
If you need additional information, a penny post-card to ‘The
Spare Time Gardener” C/O The Dallas Post, will bring you a garden
chart showing when to plant, how deep, how far apart, and how
much seed is required for a given length of row.
