On the evening of Friday, April 19, a sacred • Easter program was pre- sented to. a large and very apprecia- tive audience by the young people of the village and surrounding country.

A trio, `Summer," was contributed. by Misses Thelma and Reta. Cudmore and. Jean Webster. The male quartet con- sisting of gems. Scott, A. Cox, G.

B'aAY CHIC repeating 1934's SUCCESS 3F "somebody" forgot to put the lid on your brooder stove on the evening of a told day in January and next morning you found ice in the water fountains -, what would you expect to happen to your flock of week-old chicks? John Dew, King, Ont., had that experience with his early -hatched Bray White Leghorns this year, and he only lost four -and only one has died since! He has nearly all his b! oilers sold, and out of 303 chicks has raised 170 fine pullets -as even a flock as you could want to see. They weigh just a- bout the even 24. lbs, per bird- at 11',i weeks old! Another "early bird" who bought early hatched clucks this year was Britt' Riddell, a neighbor of Mr. Dew`s. He bought 307 Bray Barred Rocks hatched Jan- uary 9th and has lost only 3"chicks. His broilers are all sold, and he has raised 154 .splendid pullets for his own laying ;flock. Actually, their growth and development have been so rapid and complete that at 1.3;14 weeks old, they weigh. as much as 8 lbs. 19 oz. apiece Chicks that LIVE and GROW like -these will LAY and PAY. They will make good body weight at 5 months old -and will have the body capacity and 'stamina to begin laying early and keep on laying when eggs are worth the most money. It pays to buy Bray's chicks. Come in and talk '•chielose with ole.
