Make more Dollars
Feed that Laying Flock Purina Lay Chow. The best egg pro
ducer mash that you can possibly feed and consequently the
cheapest. -
If you have plenty of grain and would like to feed it, use
Purina Chowder Concentrate with it. This will make a very ex
cellent feed and a good egg producer at a slightly lower cost than
Lay Chow. . . ..», If you have no grain to feed we would recommend Purina
Layena Mash and Checkers (a complete feed).
How about that 1941 hatch that you are planning. Remem
ber the slogan “What You Feed the Hen Will Make the 1941
Cluck*’. So if you would like to plan for a high hatchability in
your eggs and also produce Al quality chides we recommend that
you feed Purina Breeders’ Lay Chow.
Re that Dairy Herd. Is it lacking something? Feed them
Purina Cow Chow and' see your cows step up in milk production.
They have been known to produce from 6.000 lbs. of milk to over
12,000-lbs., so why not try your herd on this good Dairy Ration.
. We also have Purina Calf Startena to get those .calves away to
a flying start., Remember, it is the feeding that makes the difference
How about that Hog production? We . can show you records
of litters of pigs at the age of 8 weeks weighing an average of 55
lbs. These were fed a Purina Sow and Pig Chow. And to finish
the litter ready for market use Purina Hog Chow. *
We will gladly discuss your feeding problems with you and
also outline these feeding programmes.
Remember, Purina Feed Makes the Difference

In Exeter little interest was shown
in the nominations. .^A^noon on
Monday the attendanc^A” Jhe Town
Hall was very small and at, the pub
lic meeting in the-evening the at
tendance was not large. ‘Clerk Jos.
Senior, occupied the chair and call
ed Reeve Tuckey and 'members of
the old council tp the platform.
Reeve Tuckey was the first speak
er and-stated the council had ac
complished a few; things • of which,
they might well be proud. The first
thing .mentioned was the hard-sur
facing Of Huron Street. The " coun
cil' was advise^' in the 'iconstruction
of the road by-^piinty Engineer -
Patterson,Th»y:Reevb bad been
questioned about the draining of
the roadbed but stated the course
followed was on the^ advice bf the
engineer, who has had considerable
experience. In 194Q the council,
indirectly, had aided in war work,
sponsoring public meetings and as
sisting the First Hussars and ' the
Middlcsex-Hurons while training
here. The speaker ’ complimented
the band and the band-leader, Mr.
Walper. He spoke of the drainage,
system of the town, part of which
has been in deplorable condition.
This has now>been, remedied at a
cost of less than $100.0'0. The Town
Hall property has’ been improved, a
fence buijt at the rear of it and the
machinery enclosed.
Mr; Tuckey .spoke of the work of
the County Council; stating that
the County this year is free from
, debt with a balance in the treasury.
This year it will celebrate its cen
tennial. He reviewed the financial
report and spoke of the favorable
tax rate in View of what has been
undertaken the last few years.
Councillor H. O. Southcott, ae
chairman of the Finance Committee
stated that the amount of money
spent by the council was small in
comparison with the fixed charges
over which they have no control.
The largest expenditure was per
haps for the band, which was a valu
able asset to- the town. He spoke of
the collapse of the Exeter bridge
and the efforts, made by the council
to secure a temporary bridge, half
bf the cost to be paid by the govern
ment, the other half by the village
and county. \
Councillor J. W. Hern stated he
had -enjoyed his work on the council
for five years and -rendered his ser
vices, to the best of his ability, He
