A clucking hen had been set on some eggs in the barn of Mr. Ed. Bailey, of the second concession, north of Allan Park, but about two weeks after it left the nest, apparently disturbed by some boys about the barn, and no amount of persuasion could induce the hen to return to the nest and finish her job of hatching out the eggs. It was feared that the setting was spoiled, but the eggs were not disturbed and along came the extreme heat wave. A member of the household was greatly surprised on going to the barn one morning to hear chickens chirping. On investigation, he found six sprightly young chicks, and more of the setting were scratching the shell. We are told that the heat in barns during the heat Wave sent thermometers up to the limit of some 126 degrees and burst other ther- mometersâ€"Hanover Post. _______ Extension Added To Co-Operative Many Ontario centres have enquir- Farmers Build‘ng {ed of the Canadian National Exhi- The Old Toronto Grey and Bruce bition as to the possibility of ar- 'R.
