bad CHRONICLES OF I tried to write this column yes- terday but .it simply couldn't be done--two days of almost contin- sous rain just about congealed | every thought I ever had, Now the , sun is shining and I feel much better--at least I do as long as I stay indoors. A little while ago -1 went to feed the chickens and in the yard it was like 'walking on an 'oversized slimy, slippery sponge, Why all the chickens don't die in this weather I'll never know. We give them the best care we can but when they are running in and out in the wet the bedding gets damp just about as fast as we put it down. And yet we have lost comparatively few.:This has been an ideal year for the development of coccidiosis but we have also managed to keep away from that, mainly, I think, by not.feeding the chicks too heavily at any time. In fact .we have revolutionized our chick feeding methods altogether this year. -- The price of commercial feed, . as every poultryman knows, is en- tirely out of proportion to what: we get for chickens and eggs. So, instead of giving the chicks. high cost feed we give them one feed a day of growing mash, after that the troughs are filled up with a mixture of rolled wheat and oats-- from our awn grain of course--at night they are fed straight wheat.t That has. been their menu since they were four or five weeks old. Up to tha time they were fed com- mercial chick starter, Oh, but I forgot one important item--~they get all the sour skim milk they will drink--and that is plenty! We pour it into-" the troughs-- wooden troughs--along with the roHed grain, What willl be' .the final outcome I don't know. I epect the-chicks will mature more slowly--perhaps._ the pullets won't lay as carly nor the cockerels de- velop as fast, 'but at lcast they won't have eaten up all our profit in feed. * - - Then there 'are the calves. One of the little raseals-went out last weck but there are still six running ~ around--and - lively little acrobats ~ they are. One morning Partner suggested that I run four of them back to the pen where they belong and tic them up, Looking at them somewhat "dubiously I thought I had better tackle the smallést one first. The first thing was to catch it as it gallivanted in' and out - among the cows and heifers. Then I caught hold of its collar -- they all have straps around their necks like dog-collars.so there is always aie something to hang on to.:Immed- y iately this little red fellow felt EE my hand on his collar he got con- : trary. The more I pulled the more ' FL he pulled--only in the opposite di- 2 rection. Then he changed his mind and fairly raced ah the stable with me hanging on to his. Universal Fear "Universal . fear has been a major factor in world politics since 1945," says the United Kingdom Labor party's survey of international re- lations.

At the en- france to his pen he balked again, gave a sudden twist which loosened my grip so that only my index finger was left holding the collar, Then he did another merry-go- round---but of course in 'the op- posite direction--and I thought my finger had just about' had it. twist but when I finally had him tied in his stall I decided that that was enough for me so I told Partner he could' put the others in him- - sel \ Incidéntally, 1 was. just telling Partner I was writing about" my tussle with the calf and he said-- "What are you talking . about "him" for--that red calf is' a heifer!" Oh well . .. they are all calves anyway. + - My robins over the front door have left their nest. It was fun watching them. Mother Robin hardly stayed with therm at all the last few days--and the fledglings were fighting among themselves 1s the * nest became over-crowded, Naturally as they jostled for po- sition they forced each other out until there they' were, out. sitting on the ledge over the door. On it they teetered' back and forth, far more uncertain of their feet than their wings. Presently I opened the front door to see if Mother Robin was anywhere around and to. my surprise the yommg robins flew, scolding, to the ground. * Mother Robin was right on hand to protect them and .t'ey all sought the shelter of the shrubs.

"TEEN-TOWN TOPICS a Thousands' of ' teeners have just finished writing their final exams. ¢ Their next step is in choosing a profession. And right here the trouble, starts. For a lohg time we have been thinking about writ- ing'on the above mentioned theme and we feel that now is the time to do it. We have asked a large num- ber 'of teeners during the past few: weeks just what they were going to do on leaving high school ar col- legiate. Some of them know what they want; some of them don't, The stickler- with them all--is not so much what they want to "be, but will there be a place for them when they graduate in four or five years. It doesn't seem to matter so much. any more about how much educition you have it's how much influence you have and that's where the beef comes in. * * * x I agree that this is a little off my usual line of guffy but we young people do think a little on the serious side at times and many of us are doing just that at the present time. However, back to the theme, A young fellow I know, of European parentage, tried for a good position with a city firm recently, He was turned down. Not on the grounds that he couldn't handle the job, nor that he didn't have enough education; but rather because -of his racial descent. It was a great blow to him. Why wouldn't it be? He was very 'clever at school and so were his sisters. He has finally landed a 'job and seems very happy. | hope that some day the man who turned him down because. of. his creed will realize what a_mistake he made. gy * * x In conversation with- a group of young university men recently, The.
