DISPOSE OF THE

.Cullina SHOULD Be Done Frequently
and Thoroughly.

After hens reach a certain age, de-
pending upon the way 1hav have
been handled, they can no longer pro-
ducs eggs proftably. Those which
are forced for heavy egg production
by the liberal use OF stimulants viii
reach this stage quicker than tna otll-
ers. Whenever this stage is reached
he mems should be marketed as soon
as possible.
A pretty safe rule to follow with
the average flocks which have not
been treated with stimulants is rs
follows: Dispose of hens of the ligh.,
active breeds, such as Leghorns and
Anconas, as soon as they have passed
through their third laying season;
and dispose Of all the medium weight
breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes and
Orpigntols as soon as they have pass
ed through two laying seasons. At
the SAME time, discard all younger
hens which have baggy abdomens,
which have tendency to stay over
fat, or which lack health or vigor in
any way.
The culling should be done fro.
ruently and thoroughly. 1: rarerIy
pays to hold an old or 4 weak bird
for Q better market. The quick or
they are sold the better. The average
flock should be thoroughly culled at
least once a month. Such practice
