Keep hens this year EGG and poultry prices, the like of which have seldom or never been experienced, certainly make it worth .. anyone's while to start keeping hens. By doing so you have fresh eggs at the most tritlin? cost. At the same time you have the splendid satisfaction of knowing that you are doing something towards helping Britain, Canada and the .\Ilies achie%"e \nctor>- this year. "* Increased production of food helps not only to lower the high cost of livmg, but it helps to increase the urgently needed surplus of Canada's food for export. It saves money otherwise spent for eg:cs and poultry at high prices, and saves the lab<'r of others whose effort is needed for more vital war work.
