This year is not considered a very good "chicken :year," that is many hatches missed. This seemed gen- eral and the fact was commented upon by Mr. Elford; Poultry Husbandman, at he t public meeting eon in Clin - P g ,toll re- cently. But Mr, John Jervis didn't have such bad luck and he's convinced that poultry raising is a fairly paying business. Last spring he set six hens en sir.ze do n eggs and on he t 16th and, 17th .of May fifty-eight White Wyandotte chickens were hatched. He raised fifty-five y five of them and on Octo- ber 25th he sold the roosters, which averaged $1,09 each. I£ the pullets had been sold they would have made a return of $00.00, averaging $10.00 a•dozen for the eggs set, not counting labour and feed. This looks like a fair return on investment, ' • DEATH 01' W. De 1linBRTEN Word was received in town last week oe the death, which took place in a Calgary hospital on November 20th„ of William D.

One Of Stanley Township's most Highly ,Esteemed Residents, Passes Ora On Wednesday last the death oc- curred in Stanley township of one of • its -most - highly -thought -of citizens in the person of Malcolm McEwen, who had reached the good age of seventy-eight e years. ass. YFor g the past ye couple of .years Mr.. McEwan's helth had been failing and his death was not unexpected. The deceased was a native sou of Stanley, having firstseen the light of day upon the same farm on which he closed his eyes for the Iasi time. He was a son of thelate John Me Ewan, who sante out from Perthshire, Scotland, in 1842, and settled down in the bush in the third, where, as the reward of untiring industry, a comfortable home was established. In the little home on lot thirty, three years later, the subject of this sketch was born and he, also, knew what it was to do the work of a pioneer. As he grew up in the new settlement he helped to hew down the timber and to enlarge the clearing `about the farm buildings until broad, smiling fields of geain replaced the dense forest and he lived to see •inane' changes, a country entirely trans- formed. Ile took his part always he the affairs of the community, al- though 0 man of retiring disposition. In religion he was a Presbyterian,'be- teg• for many ,years a member of the "Auld Kirk" -at Brucefield, "sitting under" good' old Dr. Ross. Of late years he was, however, , connected with Willis church, Clinton.' For forty years', lie was trustee of school section No. 1, Stanley, better known as "Baird's School," and was' a close personal friend of "The Mastor" the .late Thomas Baird, who taught this school for -fifty years. • Mr, McEwan is survived by his wife,, who nursed him tenderly .during his illness, and a family of two sons and four daughters, Mrs. Adam 'Stewart and Mrs, Jchn Macfarlane both of Stanley, Will; on the homestead, ,Rev.'
