while ago oh but you couldnt that would be awful isnt that what you said but then you dont know the whole story you see a thunderstorm came up quite suddenly and when the sky began to darken i thought i had better make some attempt at getting my chickens into the brooder house rain was something they had never seen or felt since they had been running loose so they saw no reason why they should be shut up in the middle of the day some went home all right others took shelter in an old pen near by but there were two crazy little chicks that went everywhere but where i wanted them to at last i got dligusted and left them to find shelter where they could thinking they might do better if i were not there to chase them the storm lasted about halfanhour and the rain was quite heavy when i went back to the pen i found two halfdrowned chickens right out in the open although there were places quite handy where they could have taken cover thy were no trouble to catch that time for they were just about at their last gasp what to do with them was quite a problem as there was no fire any where suddenly i remembered an old oll stove oven which i use as b sort of little cupboard so i wrapped the chickens in an old sweater put them in the oven with the door slight ly open lit the stove and kept the flame low an i possibly could pretty soon thochlckd bcganto show some sign o life now they are

whole lot better more sugar beets could surely have been grown in canada to increase our raw sugar supply but it is too late to think about that now all we can do is make the best of a bad job for the
