HENS PAY. — The .question has often been asked,
doe.. it pay to raise hens ? 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-

FAVOR ;PERMANENT°ROAD.
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." Carried unan-
imously.
