POULTRY NOTES
Selecting Pullets.

Not every poultryman can select laying hen
by her appearance. 1t Is true students OF poul-
try husbandry are generally able to DO this, but
few farmers and poultrymen are unless they have
given the subject some attention.
The following suggestions should be of help to
you in enumerating of the points in the
making of good laying hen. But these points
will need to be verified. That is, you must prac-
tlce If you would become good judge or st least
learn how to select your own pullets for LAYERS.
And 1t will be necessary for you to know how to
select If you to improve your flock.
Judging poultry is said to be finer art than
the selection Of other farm animals but the man
or woman who picks puets with fine head,
alert eyes and comb, face and wattles of fine tex
ture has taken the first step toward increased
egg production. Good puets should stand square
on their feet with legs wide apart, with the front
end of the body slightly higher than the posterior
end and with a long back and tail carried rather
high. The body should be wedges shaped yielding
ample room for the reproductive and digestive
organs.

When Zoos Are Hiuhest.

How to get eggs in late fall and early winter
when they are highest is serious problem with
nost poultrymen.
Taking it for granted that the pulets were
Matched early and have made good growth during
the summer season. would get the entire flock
of spring puets. yearlings and all into winter
quarters in September. That is, would have
the poultryhouse and yards put in order for win
ter then, so there will be no Encouragement to
disturb the flock in any way disarrange its
daily routine habits during late October, Novem-
Der and December, when most desire the eggs.
One of the principal factors for securing a high
egg production in the poultry flock Is exercise. A
hen kept closely cooped will not lay as many
eggs during a season she will take on fat instead
and become unhealthy. Give the hens plenty Of
range-and then get larger basket In which to
carry the eggs to market.

custom Matching In this country is quite an
other matter, and has been made possible only bv
the invention OF incubators of the continuous
type heated from coal-burning furnace and
requiring only comparatively small amount of
attention. II Is line Of work which farmers
wives and other women can follow with success
and to which farmers themselves, as well as the
owners OF large poultry plants, turning their
attention. Men and women living near the larger
towns, and especially If close to the railroad sta
hon or on trolley line, particularly well sit
mated to do custom Matching for people keeping
a few hens will come personally with their eggs
and also call for the chIckens-just as they do in
Egypt, by the way, except for the means of con
reyance.

toners before becoming thoroughly familiar with
artificial incubation and making several expert

or winter.
Along with custom Matching goes the sale of
day-old chicks. This is another line which men
and women in the country or elsewhere who have
