Prof. Brewster is an undisputed au thority on the subject. ' Last year he handled between 30000 and 40,000 chickens in Maine to tie entire saT v isfaction of the growers. Since com- mir to O. .A. C- he has been in vestigating Oregon flocks and finds that in a great many instances as high as 30 per cent, of the flock are non-producers. ' Prof. Brewster will cul Mr. Clem ent's flock, but he will do it in such : a way and will explain his method so thoroughly that any poultryman at tending can go. home and cull Ms own flock without difficulty. Any person with a dozen chickens will find the plan -worth the time neces sary to attend, .while those with: larger flocks cannot afford to miss such an opportunity. ; A This is only one of a number of K suoh demonstrations to be held in th e county next week. Prof. Brewster insists that each flock that he culls shall be placed on recora ior a wees previous to xne ae monstration and that during the next week a record be kept both of the culls taken out and the flock Dro- nounced god ones.
