FARMERS OF EXETER DISTRICT NOT IN IT Editor Advocate,- Dear Sir,—The fallowing item has appeared in public print,—"Mr, S. J. Porter of the poultry .divisiosti of the Depart . of Agriculture, was in town an Wednesday and called upon Mr. W. H Levett ,Mr, P.arter believes the farmers are not giving the proper at- tentia t to the raising of ooultry and care of eggs as a great many eggs are allowed to spoil every week through imprope. care," II this item refers to the Exeter District it does not cover the facts; There never •was a time in the history e•t the poultry and ' egg, industry in this district when, there was nearly as mt cl attention given to 'the raising of fonri and the care of egg as now. Everywhere better breeds of saw? arc evident, so also better feeding, better housing, better care of eggs, better results every way.
