mere are not very many poultry
dealers, even among those who have
been in the business for years, who
can accurately tell the age of a fowl
The following rules. however, may be
relied upon and if followed closely
with good Judgment, the age of any
blrd can be very closely arrived at:
Young cockerels develop old-look-
ing spurs sometimes. but a second
year bird preserves the short rounded
spurs of cockerel. The best guide,
perhaps, is the delicate freshness OF
the skin of the face and comb: al
though occasionally an old bird will
be found whose skin is almost as soft
as that of a youngling.
A young bird will show rose colored
veins on the surface Of the skin and
under the wings. and there will also
be long silky hairs growing there. The
veins and hair disappear after one
year and the skin turns white. The
breast-bone also becomes hard and
cannot be bent as in a growing bird
The skin of fowl past one year be-
comes coarse and dry, and these
symptoms increase with age.
II is very difficult TO tell the age Of
ducks. After duck is q year old it

SUCCESS ON POULTRY FARM
Business Tactics Far and Above

business tactics on hen farm

by the majority of beginners, by the
poultry press in general and teachers
in particular, when above everything
else it's the most important. Strange.
indeed, is the fact that when people
fail at everything else they will take
up hen farming and expect to sue
coed: truly they should succeed at
everything else before they tackle the
hen business. Visions of a cool piaz-
