SELECT HENS WITH RECORDS
Laying Strains and Hatch From
Them-Progress Slow.

The hen as we have her today has
been developed very rapidly as an egg
producer. The jungle fowl from which
our laying hens have been developed
probably laid about two dozen eggs
year at most. Perhaps many only
raised one brood. Hens of anything
like good type and breeding today
may average 40 eggs year. There
are, of course, 200-egg hens and few
that have made records much higher.
But these high records are by no
means common.
1t is said that high average for
pullet is $50 eggs year, for a hen
40. But we must remember that
hens, like cows, have their own indi.
viduality and it is not easy to find
flock of high producers.
The way to increase the production
of eggs is to select pullets or hens
with high records, mate them with
cockerels from good laying strains
and hatch from them. Even then, the
progress must be slow, for there is apt
to be large per cent that will be
poor producers. But this is the only
safe way to raise hens that lay large
number of eggs year.

TOULOUSE is GIANT OF GOOSE FAMILY.

The Toulouse is the giant of the
goose family. 1t is a. native of France.
Its ordinary weight is from 10 to 20
pounds, but it is not Lacommon to
find specimens weighing from % to
80 pounds. This is the typical gray
goose, but beneath and behind these
are white areas in the plumage.
1t is said by those who have had
experience with this breed that young
geese during the first year lay from
Is to 20 eggs, when older they may
lay from 25 to 40.
The Embden is a popular breed in
some places. The body of the birds
is snowy white, the legs and bills
yellow. They have good type and con-
formation. In size it is the same as
standard for the Toulouse, though it
Is said a smaller number of Embden
reach this standard than Of Toulouse.

door in the side to be used when pass
ing in and out and for the carrying
In of hand tools and other small farm
implements.
Farm machinery and implements
depreciate about 10 per cent a year
when they are properly housed and
kept painted. The loss from leaving
tools out in the weather is enormous.
An implement shed constructed in this
manner is great convenience in doing
repair work.
All farm machines require overhaul
ing in the winter time to put them in
q thorough working condition during
the busy time in spring. A house of
this kind makes it easy to take the
machines apart and examine every
wheel and every casting, SO that the
worn parts may be replaced and the
whole machine gone over with paint or
iinseed oil.
This implement house has concrete

SELECTION OF BEST LAYERS
Look for Full, WeII-DeveIoped Breast
and crop-This Gives Assurance
of Strength.

The selection of the best-laying hens
may be made in several ways. If you
know that the mother hens were good
egg producers and the pullets have the
same formation of the body it may be
reasonable to expect that the pullets
will also be fine egg producers. There
is, however, one almost certain sign
that may be used In selecting laying
hens. Look for "a full, owell-deveIoped
breast and crop, showing a large peck
ct in which to, carry the food supply.
This, gives assurance of strength and
