Cooper, proarietor of the Cooper Departmental store,; who from a small beginning in May, .1885, has developed a businass which is probab- ly the largest of -its kind outside the cities. Starting 'With a ,$50Q stock of books, stationery and fancy goods in a store in the Smith block, financed. at the time by his • father, the late Wim. Cooper, and assisted in the store by other members of the tam- ily, the business developed until he was able in five years to buy out his strongest opposition, Chas. Dickson, and to move into a.brand new brick block on Victoria St., "The Cooper Block.” This block has gradually been Completely occupied and some few years ago the adjoining store, formerly owned and occupied by the late ,Tames Twitchell as a boot and shoe store was taken in and a junior department store -established. • The business now occupies a floor space of 7,200 square feet besides basement storage, beth floors being occupied.

While it is true that animals being• fed large quanti- ties of roots or succulent green feed do not need water to the same extent as those being' fed largely on hay, and grain nevertheless, they should have clean water available at all tines so that they may take it when desired. This is particularly true •of rabbits, With regard to feeding, rabbits are no exception to the rule that proper feeding is essential to success. There is nothing mysterious about feeding practice. The inexperienced rabbit keeper invariably will feed too much., The amount of greens, roots, moisten- ed mashes, and such like feeds fed to rabbits should be only what :can be eaten at once. .Some feeders pre- fer to keep hay before the rabbits at all tinges but when this practice is followed it is necessary that • racks should be used so that the feeds will. not become soiled. .Special occasions require special treatment, Thus, the nursing mother, or rabbits !being fat- tened, or, in: moult, need treatment according to the conditions, .All these points, and 'many more, are fully dealt with in the.pamphlet prepared b'y,he ,Poultry Division of the Do- mi •lon Eceer'ineental Farms and nub,- lished by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. , which includeg Store in the Smith Block wl en the Cooper business was established, May, 1885. elder of Wesley -Willis United church.

The cake, made by Bartliff and Crich of Clinton, is beautifully iced and de- corated and is - mounted with fifty wax. tapers. Clinton and community is proud of the big store and congratu- lations are being extended to Mr. Cooper on this unique anniversary Occasion.

Af- ter the first of May, it eosts much less to produce baby chicks thau it .doers earlier in the Spring—»so naturally they can be sold for much less', The Bray chicks you buy in May and June are exactly the same as those you'd have gotten two months ago. They are hatch- ed from, eggs drawn front the salve breeding flocks. The chicks are graded according to egg size be- fore the eggs go into the ineubat- ors. And they are hatched in exactly the sande way It stands to reason that they will perform in the isatne way as early hatched chicks -- and they have the advantage of warmer weather right at the start.
