ing year and pick out at once by the
color of the shanks those birds which
have been extremely heavy layers from
those which have been drones. The
drones will be the birds which at the end
of the season have bright yellow legs,
such as one is accustomed to see In pull
lets which have not yet begun to lay. On
the other hand. birds which have done a
hard years work and produced many
eggs will have shanks completely white
or nearly so.
Examination at this station of many
hundreds of birds, whose trap nest rec
ords are known, makes it possible to
say positively that no bird which has
been a high producer will have bright
yellow legs at the end of the laying sea-
son. 1.-TWO hundred egg hens always
have white legs at the end of their pull
let year. This point is one whieh may
be of great deal of value to the poultry
man when he is cuiling his flock in the
fall and deciding which of his pullets he
will keep over to use as breeders the next
year If he has no trap nest records the
color of the shanks furnished him one of
the best indications he can have as to
the way in which these puliets have laid
during their first year of life. His first
selection should always, OF course, be
on the strength and constitutional vigor,
but after having picked out the good
strong healthy birds he should then
choose from among those the ones which
show the whitest legs, Poultrymen often
make a mistake on this point. One fire.
quently hears of a peultryman practicing
just the opposite,-that is, when he eulls
his pullets in the fall for the breeders of
the next year, he will pick out carefully
those which have yellow legs. BY doing
this he is systematically picking out the
poorest layers in his flock TO use as
breeders, whereas If he takes those with
white legs he is systematically picking
out his best layers for breeding pur-
poses.
