Progress in all breeding y based On
Selectioo.
Apply selection to your poultry.
Keep the best and bresd from them

Keep the hustlers-those that arc
on the range early and 20 to roost
With full crops.
The good layer 70 active. She 10 q
hustler for worms and bugs. She has
. bright red comb md q bright eye.
The plumage Of the good layer Ia
usually much more broken up than
the plumage Of the poor layer.
The high-egg-yield hens are usually
late to moult. They may also have
pale or faded shanks and beaks.
The pelvic bones. or lay-bones, Of
the laying hen are far enough apart
70 that three fingers can be placed be-
tween them. These two bones can be
felt, one or each side Of the vent,
somewhere above the vent.
The good layer has thin, pliable pei.
vic bones.
There should not be less than three
or four fingers distance from the pei.
vic bones to the point Of breast bone.
There should also be good distance
from the ribs on one side around to
the ribs on the other side. In other
words, the abdomen should be large
and roomy, indicating that the hen has
large capacity for the assimilation
Of food and for the production Of eggs.
The skin of the abdomen should be
loose enough to suggest an udder that
has been MIXED out.
The inferior laying hen Of the meat

hens are not heavy layers. Sell them.
They usually weigh heavy.
Sell hens that have arched, hard

Market any hen that has a decided.

Hens Of the light breeds may be
probably kept for three seasons (;

Do not sell early Matched pullets AZ

prove vastly superior 90 breeding birds

WHAT HOME SERVICE MEANS.

30 many questions are constantly
coming to the Home Service Section. of
the Red Cross that few words a. to
its objects may not come amiss. The
Home Service Section aims to servo
the folks at home, to bring them
nearer to the man IN the field, and to
bring him nearer to the ones at home.
Sometimes It means helping to
stratghten out financial tangle, some.
times help in the training Of the chil
dren, sometimes being a big brother 10
. young lad who needs a bit Of friend.

who may be worried about the comina

rights under the law may be.
Then. too. there are sometimes d.
lays In the mails or lost letters, and
sometimes delays in the allotment, or
errors In the amount which should be
forthcoming. These problems and
many others are being Strengthened
out by the Home Service Section, with.
out charge to the families, and with
IN efficiency which Is daily growing
more valuable. More than 100000
calls have been answered.
