It costs no more to feed a good well , balanced ration that will produce steady, high produc­ tion over a long period of time because on an inferior ration the pullets or hens eat more and produce less. Naturally a ration made up of carefully selected in­ gredients cannot be prepared for the same price as the inferior ration. Yet, measured in feed cost per dozen I eggs, it is much cheaper. And don’t forget to feed the | CHECKERS or lots of the mash in the hoppers to get those extra eggs. ________________________________________ Traquair’s -------------------Hardware One Door South of Post Office Monster Carnival Exeter Arena Friday, February 8th, 1946 at 8 o’clock sharp Prizes Will be Awarded for the Following: Ladies' Comic ............... 2.50 1.50 Boys’ Fancy Costribinc, 10 & tinder 1.50 1.00 Best Dressed Couple ......u.
