That's what everyone is saying to-day and then adding, "Some canary that laid that egg." Such are the out- spoken comments on the big egg on display at J. A. Stewart's store. There's a story back ctf the big egg and the exhibit. It's a part of a national campaign by the Purina Mills through several thousand dealers in the United States and Canada to encourage the production of big eggs. It has been found that the market wants big eggs and discriminates against small sized pullet eggs. In order to produce big eggs there must be big body development. A small size pullet cannot produce large eggs. For that reason poultry-men aro being urged to feed the poultry flock a good growing ration during the growing months this summer in order to insure large body development by the pullets, insuring the production of lari;'' eggs when they come into production this fall. Oi 5,000 birds in a recent Canadian National Egg Laying Contest it was found those fed a growing ration laid 51 more eggs that averaged 2.2 ounces more per dozen than those that were not properly fed during the (.-rowing season. Very in:p> ru:nt is thf fact that birds Vcd properly during the growing period come into production earlier in the fall, usually at a time when egg prices are starting upward, while birds that are not properly fed during the growing period come into production late and often when egg prices arc low. Yes, there's a real .story back of that big egg! Jas. A. Stewart GROCERIES PHONE 46 WE DELIVER IN TOWN . - "WHATEVER WILL I DO?" -.. .
