He was a most sociable, friendly Brownie as Im sure you can easily understand. First of all he went to call on little Johnny.

Clover seed would be rated as a protein carrier, and the particular quality of protein which It would yield does not possess miracuEvidently the propolous qualities. nents of such a theory have failed to observe that cows which have been fed largely on corn and oats and such carInbohydrate carriers as these, do conwhen milk of flow any crease their centrated protein carrier such as cottonseed meal, linseed meal, gluten feed or In this Instance clover seed, has been supplied to bring the homegrown feeds Info balance. Manifestly It would be foolish to use clover seed to feed cows because Its cost Is many times that of protein carriers which re intended for feeding purposes. All good saw handles are made of apple wood, because It does not break If a saw is dropped. Tbe first commandment In the farmdecalogue is Thou shalt not rob tby soil of Its substance. ers Tbe true farmer Is a practical scientist and the whole realm of nature is bia laboratory.

But more than anything she loved to play with the lambs and how Billie did enjoy watching her and watching the darling little lambs. Next he called on Shaggy, an old dog who used to call on the neighbors, lie liked to shake hands anti would hold anyones hand as long ns they would hold his. lie was one of the most affectionate old dogs Billie had ever seen and when Billie asked him what ho liked better than anything In the world he wagged his tall and said In dog talk: To he petted." After that Billie went to call on the cat and dog who lived In the same house and who used to tnke naps together out on the varundn. The dog didnt like other cats, but he liked this one and they would drink from the same saucer and play together. They woke up and spoke to Billie Brownie and said : "Do you know what weve been havnap. ing? A "When a cat takes a little sleep you or when some one has a say little doze, but when both a cat and a dog take a nap together at the same time you say a nap. "Or at least we do Then Billie called on a pigeon. This pigeon had been lost one night and he bad stopped on a city fire escape. The little girl who lived Inside had gone to the window and had seen him huddled there and had put cracker crumbs and water on the fire escape for him. He bad eaten it all and he bad been tame and very grateful, for after his first fright was over he knew she waa trying to do what she could for him. In the morning when It was bright again he flew off and found the rest of his family. But oh, what a relief It bad been to have some shelter and to get up close to the window and even to step Inside on the window bIU when a shower came up. The little girl bad left the window open, too. It was so wonderful to be helped out In such a difficulty, the pigeon told Billie Brownie, and If ever you get a chance I wish youd tell that little girl how grateful I was to her. I would have written her a polite note but I dont know how, but I did feel my gratitude In my little pigeon heart, even though I didnt know how to teU her.
