ing quarters. It does not do to shift
pullets to winter quarters when they
are laying or reddenfng up for laying,
as such procedure is very liable to
check or retard them. according to
their condition at the time, and so ac-
count for the loss OF eggs at time
when they are at their highest market
value.
Before shifting to winter quarters,
such pullets as have not begun to lay
should be carefully examined to make
sure that they are healthy and free
from insect pests. Any birds showing
traces of sickness should either be
disposed of or placed by themselves
and given special attention. Such birds
with care may pay if retained as egg
producers. but they should not be
tolerated in the breeding pen.
Feeding the backward pullets wet
mashes in the morning and then al
lowing them free range during the
middle of the day will hurry them
along. See that they go to roost with
a full crop. and that 1t is empty in the
morning. There is no better practice
than that of the operator making a
late trip to the poultry house and ex-
amining the birds regarding their
capacity or inclination for food. An
eerly morning visit will be repaid IL
the pullets are examined regarding
their digestive ability. The extra time
put in upon the smaller number of
pullets will be amply repaid by the
increased production.

we assert that the season is dedicated
to simplicity. It is in a fashion. but we
must learn to place simplicity on q
pedestal that it has rarely occupied.
It would be Interesting to find out how

Wide girdles have deep, metallic
fringe for eight inches across the front

fringe over each hip and let 1t fall to
the knees in irregular strands. A woolen
frock or a cloth coat suit will have a

fulness and is very important in max
ing a selection. The back virtually
forms the framework Of the body. The
reproductive organs are just below the
back. and as it is essential that these
to perform their functions, this per-
ton of the pullets should be long as
well as broad. It is not desirable that
the length should be in greater proper
narrow @ wa appearances. pea And it Should not
be understood from this that short.
wide back is preferable to tho long.
narrower one.
The tail should be we'll spread and
carried at a pleasing angle. not too
medium length.
The breast Of the pullet is exceeding
ly important. It should be deep, fun.
rounded and broad. Avoid those birds
looking breasts that have a fiat ap-
pearance from the junction Of the
thighs. Nor must a pullet with full
crop be mistaken for a full-breasted
and desirable puliet. The full. broad.
rounding breast Is an excellent indica-
tion Of individual vitality.
Capacity for Food.
The body Of the pullet practically in
cudes those portions Of the specimen

including the rear portion called the

length and depth in the same manner
as the back governs the breadth or

not to be taken from this description of
the body that pullets which have bag

derline of the pullet should be in
clined to sag, however. rather than be
narrow and short. Great capacity Is
necessary. also room for food and pro-
looked for is to be realized.
The legs should be fairly short, heav-

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

We must get rid of the ''slackers" and
down the consumption OF grain and re-
leasing labor for more productive en-
ployment. but we are helping to swell
tho meat supply. which is becoming
seriously low. Severe culling will not
work any hardship on the poultry
keeper. It will increase his profits and
improve his focks. Culling will per-
manently remove the "slackers" from
the breeding fiocks. so that future gen.
erations will be more productive. 1t
will also force home the lesson that a
few hens, well selected, are the most
profitable.
Need for Constitutional Vigor.
The selection Of pullets for layers de-
pends upon their vitality and vigor. If
they lack these qualities they had bet
ter be sent to the fattening pens. Late
hatched chicks which are only partly
grown have no place on the present
poultry plant. These pullets Will not
lay before spring, and then only in
desultory manner. They lack the con-
stitutional vigor necessary for heavy
egg production, and it must not be for
gotten that egg production is heavy
drain upon the constitutional v1gor OF
the fowl. Besides. the pullet intended
to produce large numbers of eggs must
be so constituted that it Is able to eat
and assimilate large quantities OF food.
Constitutional vigor cannot be meas
ured, but 1t has a close relation to the
those characteristics which separate
our birds into breeds and varieties. but
general conformation that Is adap-
table to pullets of any breed or variety
Those nearest standard weight should
be selected. There are many reasons
why those that are diversified or under
sized should not be chosen. The former
are inclined to be inactive and non
productive. Understood birds should be
rejected, as their tendency Is down.
ward SO far as size is concerned.

From some standpoints the head Of
portant, but from other viewpoints 1t
is extremely SO. The head Is not only

the specimen, but 1t shows alertness

Reliable Head Points.
The best specimens should possess q

should be fairly well curved. A short
face. short from the eye to the end Of
the beak. is best. The face should be
bread between the eyes. with comb set
fairly well upon the head. and rather
thick at the base The eye should be
large. bright and snappy. and should
protrude like ball. The face should
have character in its appearance, with
plenty Of color.
