SELECTING HEN FOR LAYING
First Essential 10 to Note Whether
Fowl Is Raney or Blccky-For
ner Produces Eggs.

There are several things which
should be considered in selecting hens
for layers, shape and size, color OF
head furnishings, actions of the indi-
vidual, pelvic bone test.
The first thing to notice concerning
the shape is as to whether or not the
hen is rangy or blocky. A blocky
hen indicates a meat producer, while
the more rangy II indicates the pro-
duction Of eggs. Since the develop
ment of the eggs to a large extent
takes place in the region of the body
below the broad part Of the back that
part of the body should be broader
thar the fore part. This gives to the
body a V-shaped appearance as
viewed from the top, the small part Of
the Y lying to the front. When a hen

A variety of grain Is always bet.

Many a guinea fowl has passed for

Chickens should not be kept inside

The incubator catalogues are almost

The only way to tell which OF your
hens are paying their way is by the
use OF trap nests.
Many a poultry disease traces Its
origin to improper ventilation or lack
of protection from the weather.
Leg bands are not expensive and
at the same time they are a great
convenience in marking poultry.
When the brooder chicks seem very

money.
Cook some beans or peas. mix them
with wheat bran and feed twice a

1t Is perfectly natural for chickens
to run at large, and. II the weather

for doing SO.
Many a setting of eggs has been
spoiled by making the nest on the
floor where the wind can come up
through the cracks under the old
mother hen.
A hen should not be set on more
than fifteen eggs. The writer has al
ways made much better success by
