Keepthis hens Year r GG and poultry prices, the like of which have seldom 11, or never been experienced, certainly make it worth anyone's while to start keeping hens. By doing so you have fresh eggs at the most trifling cost. At the same' time you have the splendid satisfaction of knowing that you are doing something towards helping Britain, Canada and the Allies achieve victory this year. Increased production of food helps not only to lower the high cost of living, but it hetps to increase the urgently needed surplus of Canada's food for export. It saves money otherwise spent for eggs and poultry' at high prices, arid saves the labor of others whose effort is needed for more vital war work. The Ontario Department of Agriculture will give every possible assistance by affording information about poultry keeping. Write for free bulletin which tells how to keep hens (address below). "A vegetabbe sarde i for every homes' Nothing should be ovcrlooleed in this vital year of the war. The Department earnestly invites everyone to help increase production by growing vegetables. Even the smallest plot of p_ouud, when properly cultivated, pro- duces a surprising amount of vegetables. Experience is not essential. • On request the Department of Agriculture will send valuable literature, tree of charge, givnlg complete direc- tions for preparing soil, planting, cultivation, ete. A plata of a vegetable garden, indicating suitable crop to. grow, beg varieties and their arrangement in the garden, will be sent free to any address.
