TO TELL WHETHER FOWLS

Loud Crow or caekle Frequently Re-
reated Is One Sign Of Vigorous
Heslth-shsps Of the Body Is

In an article IN the poultry depart
ment II a recent issue Of Farm ana
Fireside appears the following:
The actions Of a fowl probably best
indicate its physical condition The
physically weak is inactive and "dopy
and is more likely to squat than 10
stand. Ii does not scratch or forage
actively. II is the last to get OF the
perch in the morning and the first TO
20 TO roost ut night and frequently Is
found on the perch during the day.
The loudness and frequency OF the
crow Of the male or the song or cackle
of the female is a reliable indication
Of strength.
The weak fowl seldom rows or sings
and is less likely 10 do so when In the
presence Of a strong individual OF the
same sex. Calamity on the part of the
male is shown in his generosity and
consideration toward the females. as
indicated By his calling them and giv
ing them the tenderest morsels TO eat
This is one of the surest indications OF
physical vigor on the part of the male
The shape Of the body is closely re-
lated to the health and physical vigor
Of the individual. The deep. thick. COM
pact body. with large fun. shows
greater vigor han the slender. long
jointed. more delicate body OF the
same variety. This is particularly no
ticeable in comparing the strong and
the weak males.
There is an interesting correlation
between the various parts Of a fowl.
which is one Of the safest guides in Sc
Letting fowls on the basis Of vigor.
For example. a fowl Of low vitality Is
likely 10 have a long. thin beak and
head: long. thin thighs aud shanks;
long. thin toes. The reverse is true Of
the physically strong.
