H. Wilford, was held in the Council Chamber on Friday after- noon, Owing to the very cold and stormy weather the attendance was poor, but those who came oue were well repaid for doing so. Prof. Elford of the experimental Farm at Ottawa, and a Huron county old boy, he hav- ing resided for some time in the vicin- ity of Holmeaville, gave an interesting and instructive address along the line of Poultry production from the Farm- er's '.tandpoint. He said that the Huron district was getting better results from the poultry department of the farm than any other district in Canada. The reason given was that the farmers and their wives under• stood it better and hod kept abreast of the times in adopting modern methods to produce the poultry. At the present time Canada could dispose of twice as much poultry if it could be produced and England is anxioue to secure from us a greater quantity of poultry products, owing to the European shortage The aver- age 100 -acre farm should have not less than 100 hens, or twice as many as they now have, and when tbattluanti- ty is kept properly, the rent or inter- est of the investment of the farm can b easily met. Mr. Porter of Toronto read an inter- esting paper on "How proflte c to he increased. Mr. J. I. Brown' of Gunn Langlois wholesale produce house of Montreal spoke at some length on "Poultry production from the Market stand. point." Explaining the class of eggs and poultry wanted by the better class of trade. He said "If the farm. ere or producers will deliver regularly fresh noofertile eggs the market for them is unlimited and the prices worth while." Where the trouble is most farmers let the male bird run around with the flocke, throw the fowl at noon, a shovel full of course grain from the granary and gather the eggs, thinking th et is all that is necessary. Instead they should feed different food at different seasons and to different breeds of fowl, thus doub- ling the egg production. The farmer who just simply gathers the eggs which Providence sends him; brings them to town and they are candled and found fertile at the produce house, therefore not worth what the freeh non -fertile egg is. Mesere. Robertson of Lucknow, Mc - Nab of Dungannon and Brill of Tees - water spoke briefly. %sir. Wm. Hend- erson maid one of the things in the egg market he could not understand was the fact that when eggs were bought at WIngham for 24 cents they were 84 cent. in Toronto. Mr. Brown explained that was the candled No. 1 quality and that any difference was due to the cost of shipping, breakage and rehandling. Mr, A. H. Wilford was chairman and had on exhibition a couple of the famous Prarie State Incubators which he haniles, On Sunday evening of last week while sitting in his home, Oth line of Morris singing a hymn, Thos.

Zit ABLE RECRUITING APPEALS Listened to in the Town Hall on Sunday Evening The hall was again tilled to its capao- ity on Sunday evening at the meeting called to aid in the recruiting of 'the 161st. The speakers of the evening were Corp. Wyatt, Capt, C. G. Van Stone and Rev, J, B. Fotheringham, Hewers Imperial Orchestra rendered several splendid selections which were greatly appreciated by the audience. Mies Estelle Griffin sang a solo in good voice, and Mesere R. T. Dowell and Weir Elliott favored the meeting with a duet. • Corp. Wyatt was the first speaker and gave a graphic sketch of his ex. periences at the front and the barber. ous deeds and cruelties committed by the Huns. Corp. Wyatt who is home for a rest after having undergone an operation necessitated by hie being wounded, will leave again for the front in the near future, Capt. C. G. Vanstone, son of Mr, and Mrs. W. F. Vanetone. and an ex' Mayor of Wingham made a strong appeal to his former associates to join the 161st and wear the khaki, the uni form worn by Prince and peasant, and take a band in shortening the war, and assist suffering humanity. He read a couple of pieces in the London Times of Jan. 24th which were clipped from German papers, quotations from prominent clergy who are imploring their congregations to kill the child- ren of satin, viz the British, Canadians, French and Russians and do the will of God, Capt. VanStone said he had faith in the boys of Huron county and he knew they would stand by the old flag and avenge the lives of the wo- men and children whom the Germane have slain. Rev. J. B. Fotheringham rector of St. George's lehurob, Goderich, and vice president of the Huron County War Auxiliary made an eloquent ap. peal to the unmarried men between the ages of 18 and 45. The reverend gentleman explained that after due consideration the most responsible men in Canada viz. the Prime Minis. ter and hie counsellors has promised 250,000 more men from Canada and that according to population of Huron this county to do its share must send at least two battalions. Wingham would have to send half as many again as she has sent. Should the county fail in getting the required number of recruits he feared compulsion would have to be brought to bear. He asked every man of military age and phyei• cally fit to go home and consider the matter carefully and if his conscience tells him he should go, to do so with- out delay. Mr, Fotheringham is a fluent speaker and kept the large audience greatly interested till the laet, Mr.R.Vanstone filled the capacity of chairman in a very able manner. The meeting closed by singing the National Anthem. Although the appeal of Major Sinclair for recruits was not answered, the meeting will doubtless bear fruit. Col. Combe and Major Osborne, of the headquarter staff, were here on Thursday, inspecting the 161st Batts'. ion. Mejnr Osborne came from Clin- ton and Exeter. He stated before the men in inspection here that they were ae fine a company as he had Been, and if they were as good men morally ea they were in their appearance the 161st bad nothing to be ashamed of. Major Sinclair of the 161st was in town on Friday last and marched over to Gorrie with the "Soya". --Wroxeter News, Changes in Town Mr. John Maddigan mooed hie lam. ily into the dwelling he t eeently pur- chased from Mr. Geo.
