Un,l recent years the general shape
and conformation of layer was con
sidered OF special value in determining
the probable production of the bird.
Even at the present time there arc
quite number of breeders who hold
thtt these external charaCtcriSticS are
OF much value in selecting high pro-
ducinc hens. According 10 the stand
ard that has been devised for this Sc
lection. the Ideal bird must be wcdgcd
ar N-ehapcd when viewed from the
top. side and rear From the top
View the back should form the wide
end OF tho V. the side view should
show the wide end AT the rear and
the rear Wow the same As tho side.
When a bird conforms to this N-shapcd
type the supposition liz that the alb
dominal regions. where the organs OF
reproduction are located. are we'll de-
reloped. thus making possible high
production.
Other points OF Importance in select

birds must he well up TO tie size and
weight of the breed which they rep
resent.
While the results of numerous i'm
restiIations have proven with more or
less certainty that a hen may conform
10 the above requirements and still
fall TO be a good producer. II is log ical
TO assume that birds which possess
these qualities and at tho same time
manifest the other characteristics dis
cnsscd In the article. should be better
iitted for heavy production than the
hens which do not conform 10 tho egg
tyre requirements.

HOW TO TELL EARLY
LAYERS AND LATE MOTHERS

The pulicts that begin to lay early
in life. sag. from November up 10
Thanksgiving. in the majority Of cases
turn ont to be good producer. In a
test conducted by the writer. 100 per
cent OF the puiets producing 900 or
more eggs laid their first egg during
November. In tho same cNpcrlm Ont
practically 30 per cent OF the puile;a
which laid less than 100 eggs did not
las their first egg until january. and

however. do not substantiatc this be
lief since they show that the late molt-
crs molt quickly and begin to lay an

BIG EATERS ARE
USUALLY HEAVY LAYERS
rhc appetite aud general actions Of
hon indicate her ability to lay Il
Goodiy number OF eggs Tho hard
working hen Is almost always Il high
producer. She is first off the roost in
the morning and last to go to bed
She is Il heavy feeder. since high pro-
duc,iNcneSs neccsSitatcS the ability to
assimilate large quantities OF food. Tho
poor layer is generally of the OPP
positc type. She IS inactive. a relative
~ small cater. and spends n large por-
ton OF her time on tho pcrchcS or in
the darkcncd portions OF the pen.
In practically all yellow skinned va :
rictics OF poultry the shanks. bca< and
region around the vent undergo a
change in color when the hens arc in
heavy laying. Instead Of the rich vel
low color that is associated with these
parts in the yellow skinned varieties.
there is q rapid fading OF color in the
regions mentioned during heavy pro-
duction. This change of color is so
consisten, that II ia possible to use II
as basis for selecting good and poor
producers From various observations
recently made along these lines. the
following interesting correlations have
been noted:
The color Of the vent appears TO be
the most accurate indication Of produc-
ing ability. Records made from 3Tl
birds from November |. 1911. to Octo-
her 81. 1915, show niucty-cight of the
birds had pale vents at the end OF Dc-
tobcr when the records were made.
over 30 per cent of these ninct y-cicht
birds produced from 40 to oGo eggs.
ana only per cent Of them laid less
than 1io eggs THE average produc-
tion Of tho 2I3 remaining hens. which
had yellow vents when the obScrva-
tions were taken. was approx irnutcly
30 eggs. and tho average for the nine
ty-ciGht having pale vents was iol
eggs. This gives = differences of firty-
six eggs per bird in favor of tho pale
vents.
COMPAHISON or PRODUCTION
OF VARIOUS BREEDS
In tho test. there wcrc several diff
fcrcnt breeds. and IL Is Interesting TO
compare the production OF the various
breeds as shown by tho color of the
vent. In tho Plymouth Rock group
sac per cent Of the birds having pale
vents laid from $40 10 go eggs: 1864
per cent OF the birds showing pale
vents produced 40 eggs or less: 20
per cent of the hens having yellow
vents laid close to lt0 eggs The
average production of the Rocks hav-
ing yellow vents was 1913 eggs. where
