Please ~ Read This HAD WE headed this "January Sale" or some such heading, you might not have bothered to read it, because there are very many January Sales that mean very little; but we really want to focus your attention upcn a little story. The motif of the plot is our need of money, and the question running thro' the pages is, How are we to get it? Telling you that everything is being sold at cost,or much below cost, means very little to you. With the countryside flooded with circulars and catalogues, we have. got to get busy to assert ourselves. Now, we really have one advantage, and a tremendous one, in fact one that puts us on the top as far as this district goes. We have the goods, and the goods are far better than a picture. We have $75,000.00 of goods, and we want to cut this quantity to $40,000. by the first of February. And what a weakness in the word "Want". The tragedy of the story, is that we Must have it, or run the risk of being out of business. : Tt is a cold, cruel world, and we know that nobody gives a hang whether we go out or not. But we can at least make an effort to pay you to help stop it. On Monday, January sth, the whole store will be at your disposal to buy right. Everything in the store is on SALE from the sth to the 31st of January. If in your wanderings you see a tremendous difference between the Cash Sale Price and the Charged prices it is because we need money, not ac- counts. No firm can pay its bank, its government, or its wholesaler with accounts. A store of this size cannot prepare. -. a Sale without closing, and as we can- not close, we develope the Sale as it goes along. We open the Sale Monday morning with many things marked on Sale, but special attention will be paid to several thousand yards of SILK. Of these Fujis at 83c. and Pailettes at $1.10 should be appealing. We are not sorting up our Yarns during January, but are taking the stock as it is, and selling it out. It will certainly pay you to buy heavily of Corticellis Australene at 13c. a ball, as long as we have it. FOR MEN We have nearly 100 Suits, of Serges and Worsteds that range from $30.00 to $37.50. We are not counting the cost of these at all. These run into money, we need the money, and we are giving you the privilege of buying any of these Suits for $20.00. Please remember this is just the opening gun of the Sale, a Sale that means life or death to this firm. A her i Barnyard PF About fi Condit How to Tell the Nocemany for Production---i --- Diswibution of Poultry Points. Bag: a Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Can you tell which hens are laying without the use of trap nests? This ls easy to determine if one will go to the trouble of handling each bird suspected of being a loafer. When phen commences to lay, ition: in organs concerned in reproduction 'e different from conditions ved during the period of idle- When the ovary is dormant no eggs are being produced the ance between the pelvie bones is small. The vent is dry, small, puck- ered, and, in yellow fieshed chickens, nd of yellow pigment around ;ihe inside. When laying commences the pelvic bones become pliable and spread apart to permit the passage of the egg. The vent becomes large and moist and the ring of yeilow pig- nt disappears. A visit to the poul- try house on an early winter evening and a half hour spent in going over ns will be profitable. ~ The experience of the Ontario Agricultural College Poultry depart- . ment has been that a hen will not lay if not in good eondition. ghe should be healthy, free from any disease, and show plenty of vigor and activity. The first pullets to lay in the fall have been the early maturing ones. The pullets that have d oped slow- ly in body and feather have been just as slow in starting to lazy: The re- sults of liberal feeding and general "good care have always been reflected in the during the period of 'early » high prices. Fgg Production. The requirements for high egg pro- duction are clean, dry, comfortable houses, that are free from direct draughts over the hirds, and that are well lighted, The feeding consists of a variety of grains, green feed, ani- mal feed, grit and shell, wi! h is clean, sweet and wholesome, and is given to the birds regularly, and in such quantities that they have all they want to eat before going to roost at night; that the supply of drinking material is elean and abundant; that the attendant is regular in his or her work, and is interested in the same; that the birds are bred from good laying ancestors, and that they are hatched at the proper season and well reared, and are free from disease. Distribution of Eggs. A study of the distribution of the egg production is interesting and im- portant from {2 point of the annual returns from the birds, Egg prices rise and fall with the seasons, and usually the greatest profit is made where producing eggs at a season Jr seasons of the year when prices are high. Pullets are the chief source of egg supply. i stated previously, they require usually from six to seven months " whieh to mature. It is, therefore, their production in the fall months at least to some extent by regulating the time they will' hatch in the spring.--Dept. of Extension, 0. A. College, Guelph. More Poultry Pointers. Crows are likely to steal the eggs from the late turkey nests if the nests are made at some distance from the buildings. Be sure that the young growing iicks are well fed to promote growth that they are given liberal range where there is abundance of green feed and also animal feed in the form of insects, worms, etc. It is poor economy to keep more gonlierels than will be needed for next year's breeding operations. If they are sold as soon as they are of broiler or fryer e a loss will be stopped and the pullets will do better with- out them, Cold, damp, poorly lighted and ventilated poultry guarters faver the spread of such diseases as roup.
