He viii keep all the pullets for layers
and will market the cockerels for fry

He has promised TO bring several
dozen of these young cockerels over
Trades Day to be sold at auction and
as they are all pure-bred and of the
famous Tancred strain, those wanting
to put new blood into their flocks,
could not do anything better than to
be here and buy them at their own
price They would be cheap at $500
each but he will put them in the sale
to bring your price. We would advise
farmers to buy them too, and get good
FLOODED stock while you can.
Billy has well equipped poultry
