HOW TO TELL
Whether or Not a Hen VIII Law

While the trap nest is the most
dependable method by which to
select birds of high egg produc-
ton, the additional labor and ex-
pense involved prohibits its use
under most farm conditions.
Without the trap nest, one must
resort to external indications.
When selecting pullets, choose
only those from early matches,
with strong constitutional de-
velopment, early producing
pullets, heavy eaters, early risers,
later retirers and active. Hens
of highest egg production have
feminine appearance, fine head,
alert eyes, comb, face and wattles
fine of texture and medium of
size, They should stand square
on their feet, legs wide apart,
with the front end of the body
slightly higher than the posterior
end. long back and tail carried
rather high. The body should
present wedge shape appear
ance, yielding ample room for the
reproductive and digestive organs.
Late molters make heavier winter
egg producers.
