It is certain that extra care and thoughtfulness has to be exercised in the feeding to make them pay. At least two men are satisfied that hens do pay.

GIBSON Several weeks ago the Times-Ad- vocate made mention of the death of Mr. G. G. Gibson, of Cates Avenue, St. Louis, who was the victim of a motor accident. Details of his death were lacking. It appears that Mr. Gibson in getting out of his car was knocked down by a passing car. He lived for a few hours but was un conscious most of that time. Mr. Gibson was born in Scotland nearly eighty years ago. He was the eldx est son of the late Captain Samuel Gibson, long a resident of Goderich. The deceased spent his early life on the Thames Road and lived foi’ sev eral years in Exeter. He is surviv ed by three children: Julian M. and Mrs. Cavanagh, of St. Louis and Doc- -tor Francis IL Gibson, of New York.

The building was 80 ft. long and contained modern equip ment installed only two months ago. About 1500 young chickens, 500 of them broilers, ready to ship and some incubators set, were destroyed, The buildings and equipment cost $3000 Hiram Copeland of Usborne By the nine gods he swore That the great town of Kirkton Should have rabbit pests no more. By the nine gods he swore’it, And named a trysting day; And hade his messengers,ride forth East, and west, and south, and ~ north, To summon his array. East and west, and South and north, Those messengers ride fast, Till Woodham, Whalen, Rannoch, Have heard the trumpet blast. Shame on the Huron farmer Who watches o’er his kine. When Captain Hiram Copeland Starts for the Roman Line. The word is passed, so swiftly, To Veitch, by word of mouth; And Burgin used a pint of -gas To push the word on south; The Prances all come prancing, There is a busy hum: . And not a farmer heard the call That dared refused to come. The Marshalls, Mills and Webbers Are selling tons of shells. O’er the roads the clans are gather ing With tinkling of sleighbells. Some men Walk in from Rannoch, And some from Winchelsea; And every farmer sent his son Till they mustered thirty-three. Meanwhile, far down in Biddulph Is tumult and dismay; The Irish Rabbits’ Union Foresee a fateful day. The Bunnies are all weeping And'crying with affright; Their warriors all look weak and. worn; They’ve watched the long, long ■ night. In Kirkton -the sun is shining, The Woodham road gleams white. And Hiram stood outside the Bank And stretched -to show his might. He’s a man of capability His ability is rare; His pump-gun fires shells so fast It gives us all a scare, Then up spake gallant Hiram And said, "Who follow me? Who will bide -at my right hand And keep the wing with me?” Never I ween, was stranger scene Read of in books or deam’t of dreams, Than the rabbit hunt ’neatli the sun’s beams; When the ice was friz in all streams. Half a block, Half a block, Half a block onward; Into the valley of death Ran the jack rabbits. "Forward! the Kirk-ton hunt, Charge for the wheat,” he said, Over the railroad tracks Ran those jack rabbits. Forward! the'Kirkton hunt, Was there a man dismayed? Not -though each hunter knew . Someone had lingered. Theirs not'tall tales to tell. Guns all around of them Theirs not to reason, well Theirs but to shoot a shell, Climbing each barb wired After jack rabbits. Guns to the right of them, Guns to the left’of them, Guns all around of them Volleyed or misfired. Stormed at with jeer and yell; They shot, yet not a rabbit Tell, O brave deeds they did, How they took cover and hid From -those jack rabbits. Banged all their guns in air, Crooked the line was there; Some even tore their hair, Pym got -too far ahead, All the world wondered. Kicked at with super-X Right through the line they strode. Rabbit and cotton-tail, Scared with black powder smoke, Turned t-ail -and sundered. Then they sat down to lunch; Those noble hunters. ’Twas very sad day when roll call was ©nade, For of thirty-three hunters, I’m very.afraid Tliat two were missing—one’s Chas. Paul; T’other is Washburn, say where did he fall. in the fence: Consigned to SILVERWOODS, LTD.
