however after taking the advice of a poultryman to feed dry buttermilk the chickens soon began to show signs of improvement now they are just back to normal cocctdlosis is a terrible disease hard to spell difficult to pronounce and fatal to chicks it is pronounced in about as many different ways as tomato and thats saying something the poultryman who advised me is a col lege graduate and i noticed that he pronounced it cocksldloius now you try and say it just a little while ago t indulged in as pretty and fascinating a piece of nature study as anyone could want along our clothesline were sjx little barn swallows i thought at first they were full grown birds but suddenly another swallow flew over with a succulent morsel of food for what i now knew were her fledging back and forth went the mother bird and i always knew when she was re turning before i even saw her as the first three of the little hints would start fluttering their wings and open ing their beaks each little swallow was fed in turn you could almost im agine tho mother hlrd saying now you bo good little bird and i will bring each one of you a nice juicy worm what i couldnt understand was why the next three birds didnt flutter their wings and show cxcltc- monthko tho others wlion the mother bird was npproaching and why they were not fed like the rent presently the mystery was solved tho second three birds belonged to a different family when their mother appear ed they too showed signs of expoct- nncy wllh wings nnd beaks what instinct by what means do these wee feathered mites recognize their own kith and kin one time the parent birds were gone longer than usual two of the ffedglngs npparently got tired of wait ing and flew down to the potato patch like a flnrdi tho parent birds appeared as if by magic and chased their too adventurous offspring hack to tho safety of tho clothesline i am quite sure the mother swallows were saying quite forcibly ttou stupid naughty children dont you know that a sly crouching cat lives in that big house ready to spring on you if he once gets the chance dont you know that until your wings are strong enough for swifter flight you must never never take such a chance again and senklng of children we had n uurprlso telephone call from daugh ter thin afternoon it is nice to have one of our pigeon pair within call ing distance it gives ono a kort of warm

keep up a oneway corres pondence of course i dont neglect our soldier son he is still on van couver island not much chance of a telephone call from him more likely a wire to tell us what isnt that what every mother wonders who has a son away from home sometime we know that that wire telephone call or letter will come we cannot stop it we can my prepare ourselves to meet it personally i dont think we should shy away from the thought rather should we accustom ourselves to the idea remembering the many homes to which that final message has already come and ask ourselves why we should expect
