Wiehout ever keeping a record, or making a test some will say they do not pay, but to ;how that hens pay .and nay well we give the restate of a flock of hens kept by Mr. Henry Francis of Usborne. He had a flock of 40 hens from which he sold during 1918 eggs to amount of $171,84, chicks $26.18 !Waking ,2 total of $198.02, The feed, bought' at the, mill, cost $83.75, leav- ing a t6tal net profit of 4114,27.. Or in othee e oras a profit of ever $2.65 for each hen.

A. public meeting of the citizens of Exeter wns hent is the Tote n Hall last efntrday night to discuss the building of a permneent Main Street in Exe- ter. The reeve presided end review- ed at length the'movt'.nrestt leading up. to present agitation f er a permanent street for our village;. He declared Haat he believed that the time for the r,uilding. of this permanent street was never more opportune than nosy as the government had pledged itseif to contrttbute 40 per cent of the "cost. The weer,: stated that Mr. MtLean, Deputy Mfr sten of Highways, had said that the street could be built any width up to 20 feet. Having present- ed the situation to the meletin; the r'ecve then called upon . ertain eine- ens prestent to express their teews, and it w`te noticeable that all •vho spoke exnreased themselves as dieing entirely .in favor of a permanent Main street. R. G, Seediest said. ",t was his fliesire to see the best end noth n ; but the best. Ex -reeve Taylor spoke of the prestunt street as a poor ad- vertisement for tate town, And said that money spent for permanent works was money well spent. He instanced, our sidewalks, waterworks and hydro. The. :reeve stated that it would be impossible to do the work this year but he suggested that h would be a good idea to proceed with the build- iti oi. a cement curb and gutter from the south botundaryto the Presbyter eta ,Church, and to do this under the Local Improvement Act. At the con - elusion of the meeting the following resolution was pasele••d,—Moved by J. en' Taylor, seconided. by J, Harvey, that the citieeias here assem,blaetd request the Council to obtain all the facts, figures and Other information relating to various kinds of pavements and lay all this matter before another meeting of the citizens."
