Knipe Recent figures show that there are poultry raisers. yet a great number of only about 55 chicks raised out of these people make tile "penny wise" and pound foolish" mistake of thinking every 100 hatched, and this is on they can make a brooder at home quite farms where there exists a better aver- od enough to brood the small ,num- age of poultry conditions. Many poultry raisers try to reduce their loss by "doctoring" sick and weakly chicks. They lose sight of the fact that for the previous 9 or 10 months the stock these chicks were raised from had not the care and attention necessary to produce sturdy chickens, and so care of breeding stock results in chicks hatched with weak constitutions, un- able to live under ordinary farm con- ditions. .A. strong, vigorous chicken, with good brooding system, clean and proper feeding, should be easily raised ber of chicks they raise.

Brings Motoring Enjoyment to Every Canadian OW great the service done for the Cana- dian People by Chevrolet cannot be estimated. How great the benefits it has brought to thern is beyond human ability to reckon. It has provided them, at a cost unequalled in motordom, with a means to speed up business, to increase wealth, to better health, to bring friends closer and to open up every part of the whole country to every Canadian. The fine quality, strength, endurance and full equipment provided by Chevrolet cannot be purchased for so little money anywhere else. Moreover, the owner of a Chevrolet finds a further satisfaction in the savings effected day by day as he drives his car. No other car built can be run or maintained as cheaply as Chevrolet, Chevrolet cars are built in Canada by Cana- dian workmen.
