Chicks Where Supply Of Insects
is Difficult.

Unless the range is exceptional in
its supply of insect life, along with
all grain. weed seeds, etc, that the
chicks pick up, there should be mixed
In the feed some kind OF animal pro.
tein. such as meat or milk. A good
grade of commercial meat scrap, al.
though 1t does cost 3is cents pound
is well worth the price, to balance the
ration. There is great deal of differ

grade Of meat scrap. When purchas-
ing buy the best. Meat scrap varies
from 40 to 60 per cent animal protein.
The reason the purchaser desires 1t Is
for the animal protein. The difference

Apology Accepted.

There is good story OF j. NJ. Bar
rie In Douglas Sladen's Twenty
Years of My Life"
1t appears that the talented author
of "The Little Minister" having prom
ised to be present at "a dinner ~ the
Authors club was late, for which he
apologlzed.
He had, he explained, been TO the
wrong club. He had never been to
the Authors before, he said, 80 he
asked policeman the way.
From the way he pronounced the
word, the policeman thought he meant
Arthur's club, and to Arthur's accord
tngly Barrie was directed.
When be got there he found II a very
grand place. The club porter looked
him up and down, and said:
"The servants entrance is round the
corner"
II took the normal courage of
Scotsman (adds Mr.. Sladen) TO tell
that story; but 1t was lnlmitably
funny, told In Barrie's broad Doric.-
Exchange.
