EGG MONEY
WILL HELP PAY THEM
It is the same old story every Fall. Bills, hills
and more bills—-pouring in from every quarter
—new machinery, new fencing, binder twine, re
pairs, threshing, silo-filling—and nothing much
coming in to pay them with. That's where a
little "Egg Money” would come in mighty
handy. A fellow would do a whole lot less wor
rying if he had a flock of pullets coming into
lay in October and November, when, as a gen
eral rule, egg prices are higher than at any
other time of the year.
May-Hatched Pullets can be Laying in
October and November
At first glance, it just doesn’t seem possible that
you can buy chicks now and have them fully
grown and laying in time for the Fall high-
price months. But you can, IF you start right
away with the kind of chicks that grow fast.
Pullets that have the size and stamina to lay
early AND to come up quickly into heavy pro
duction of large eggs after they do start to lay.
The Bray Chick Dpes the Trick
We’re not asking you to take our word alone.
Here are letters from our customers to prove
that Bray chicks are the kind of chicks that you
can depend on to bring in the "egg money” next
October and November.
Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Smith, R.R, 4, Beach Ridge,
Lachute, Quebec, write:
"On May 31st, 1938, we purchased 104
Bray White Rock Pullets. They were lay
ing by the first of October, beginning with
very large eggs. Those pullets laid all
Winter, By February they weighed 7£ lbs.
each. The 2 cockerels in the lot weighed
8 lbs: each when we killed them.
"Needless to say, we are well pleased with
them, both as meat birds and layers.”
R, F. Shipp, R.R, 1, Thornloe, Ont., wrote in
last December to tell us:
"Last May, I purchased 100 Bray Light
Sussex X New Hampshire pullets. I have
had splendid luck with them. They turned
out 100% pullets, and we raised every one
of them.
"They started laying at 4 J months old, and
at 6^ months were laying over 00%, with
very good egg size.” 1
Laying at 4 Months—
Never a Break-Pown
H. M. Hopgood, 366 South Street, Halifax, N.S.
bought 300 Bray Xtra-Profit Barred Rock
chicks last year. The pullets started tq lay at
just four months old. Production increased
steadily until at seven months they were aver
aging 70%. Big eggs, too—over 72% grade A-
large and medium.
Two years ago, Mr. Hopgood bought Bray Xtra-
Profit Barred Rock chicks. Last year, out of the
original 70 pullets he put in his laying house
the year before, he kept 35 hens. They were
still laying steadily. He says: "I never saw pul
lets develop as fast as Bray pullets do. And I
never had a Bray bird break down,”
Get Your Order in Now!
Now is the time to get your order in, if you’re
going to have "egg money” coming in this Fall
as Mr. Hopgood, Mr. Shipp and Mr. and Mrs.
Smith did last year. The sooner you get Bray
chicks under your brooders now, the more eggs
you stand to gather next Fall. AND the more
eggs you gather next Fall, the more "egg
money’ you’ll have coming in to help you meet
those Fall bills. Telegraph, telephone or write
us your order for Bray chicks today.

TO YOUTH
Raymond Durr, age 18, of McGil
livray Twp., was accidentally shot
and killed, by a shotgun in his own
{hand 'Sunday afternoon, on his fa
ther’s farm, on concession 19. The
full charge entered his neck and he
died almost instantly.
I Durr, with his brother, Alvin, had
taken the shotgun from their home
I to go for a stroll through the cedar
i swamp on his father’s farm, The
I boys separated and a few moments
later Alvin heard a shot.
.Returning to where the discharge
came from he found his brother Ray,
lying dead and the shotgun near by
in a cedar bush. Two dead snakes lay
on the ground -beside the body and it
is thought the victim was stamping
on the snakes or pounding them with
t the gun when it discharged. It is also
' possible that he was pulling the gun
from the cMar tree and it caught on
the trigger. t
Dr. F. R;aV.vBateson, of Parkhill,
coroner, * was^suininoned. He said
death was accidental and there
would be no inquest.
