S HUR- GAINEG MAKER CONCENTRATE The balanced feeding of poultry results in consistent profits. That’s because you get higher egg production and higher percentage of Hatchability.and at the same time you lower your feeding costs! Dear Sil's:: I have 600 Rock Pullets, hatched in June and I am feeding your! Shur-Gain Egmaker Concentrate in a separate hopper, along with ground grains in another separate hopper. My pullets started to lay the latter part of November and by Christmas were laying an average of 400 eggs per day, which pro­ duction they are still maintaining. In spite of this heavy production, I have not had a single blowout which I consider very rare. I have never had a more healthy flock of pullets. Besides having a healthy flock and good egg production I am sav­ ing about 75 cents per cwt. by using this combination of Egmaker Concentrate and ground grains. Yours very truly (sgd.) W. V. ROY Londesboro, Ontario See your Shur-Gain dealer—he will show you how to make greater profits by using a balanced ration.

WITH AN APPEAL FOR RENEWALS Owing to the increased cost of newsprint which went into effect the first of the year daily newspapers have increased their subscription prices. Not only have they advanc­ ed their prices to tihe subscribers but they have reduced their commission to the agents so that it is no longer feasible to make any reduction in the clubbing rates. To offset the in­ creased cost of newsprint to us for the greater part of this year the Times-Advocate purchased before the rise in price over six tons of paper. To meet this cost we are ap­ pealing to our subscribers to pay their subscriptions early.
