POULTRY NOTES
Selecting PuIIets.

Selecting Puets.
Not every poultryman can select laying nen
by her appearance. 1t is true students OF poui-
try husbandry are generally able to do this, but
few farmers and poultrymen unless they have
given the subject so1he attention.
The following suggestions should be Of help to
you in enumerating some of the points In the
making OF a good laying hen But these points
will need to be verified. That is, you must prac-
tice if you would become good judge or at least
learn how to select your own pullets for layers
And it will be necessary for you to know how to
select If you are 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 pulets with fine head
alert eyes and comb, face and wattles of fine tex
ture has taken the first step toward increased
egg production Good pulets 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 long back and tail carried rather
high. The body should be wedge-shaped, yielding
ample room for the reproductive and digestive
organs.

sinqle Comb Black Leohorns.

Not many years ago this breed was little known
to breeders. They have made rapid strides and
are becoming very popular. The heavy Minorca
combs, high tails very dark legs and purple instead
Of black plumage have all been bred out and today
the Black Leghorns are as good in slope as the
other Leghorns Their combs are equally as small
and neat as the whites or browns. They carry
their tails low and well spread. Their legs show
a good yellow color together with good green
sheen to the plumage.
Among many fanciers black is desired color
and among these admirers and fanciers the Black
Leghorn, in many instances is replacing its brown
or white sister They persistent layers of large
chalk-white eggs and there's no reason why they
should lack popularity any longer.

laid it on the block, and chopped
off it's head. Quite different is the
process now, especially in the West
and in Canada, where fattening
poultry has developed into more of
a fine art than in the eastern states.
There is difference of from
three to seven cents a pound in the
price paid for well-fieshed or fat
tened birds and that paid for poul-
try just off the range. AS this
means difference of from 10 to
35 cents on a fvepound chicken,
it is well worth while to fatten the
fowls.

When Eggs Are Highest.

How to get eggs in late fall and early winter

most poultrymen.
