CULLING THE FLOCK,
Work Must Be Carefully Done II tho
Flock Is to Be Improved.

F.: There is no work in the poultry
yard of more Importance than that Of
culling. Close culling is the only way
to succeed in raising our ideals each
year. To have the nerve to reject
eacn year all birds which fail to meet
our ideal of the breed. or our nearest
approach to 1t in our own flock, is to
raise the average quality Of our birds
II ono year more than the introduo-:
ton of pure bred males IN two. Each
season brlngs bYt 2 tsx extra good
birds; our e6ort must be to know
these and to weed out tho worst,
which we cannot do unless we study
the standard, declares Wallace's Farm
or. It is safer to discard dis
qualified birds At once, though they
do have provoking way of being the
best lockers Of the flock excepting for
this little disqualification. The stand,
ard makers probably know more about
tho chances of such birds reproducing
these defects than we do. In our own
experience one of the best Wyan.
dottes we ever had unfortunately had
no spike to his comb. We believed
the chances of this disqualifying de.
feet appearing in his progeny were
about even and used him. His chicks
were constant annoyance, most OF
them, If not all, had no spike. Other.
wise they were beauties, so true to
type III shape that we could almost
choose them from the flock by their
shape alone. We simply didn't dare
trust ourselves with the pullets after
frying size, knowing that if they de.
veloped as they gave promise of do.
ing that we would be tempted to keep
them for winter eggs, and to risk cne
or two in the breeding pens. There
is the same temptation to overlook
stubs on the, feet of smooth-legged
varieties, white in ear lobes, off col.
ored eyes, etc. Without close study
of the standard we may cultivate a
most serious defect. One breeder
found that he was breeding birds with
."roached" backs until to visiting
poultry judge his entire flock seemed
deformed. For the egg farm it does
not matter whether or not a bird is
disqualified, but If eggs are saved for
matching from the entire flock we can
not Gull too closely. Better fewer birds
Of good quality than large flock Of
poor quality. Our profits lie in i'm
proving the flock each year, in culling
close. Not only can the appearance
OF the flock be altered to suit the
owners taste by culling and breeding
only from birds with the traits he de.
sires to see reproduced, but the in
visible traits can also be changed.
The tendency to lay well, the size and
color Of the eggs, the tendency to
mature quickly, to fatten rapidly, the
quality Of meat and general charac-
teristlcss are all matters Of inheritance.
