TAKE TIME TO LIVE RIGHT.

The season for good resolutions IS
approaching. Thousands are resolv-
ing to begin the New Year by COM
menclng some effort at self-improve-
ment.
Most people suffer from poor health
because they say "they haven't time
to take care Of themselves"
The business man knows he needs
exercise, but denies himself because
he hasn't time.
Most people run their lives in such
a slipshod fashion that they haven't
time to eat properly. to think proper
ly, and to rest properly.
And the result is that they die ahead
of time because they haven't had time
to live properly.

their superior strength and vitality.
qualities SO essential to layers if they
are to stand up under the severe strain
of heavy laying. Under war conditions
it is imperative that the poor produc-
ers be weeded out; the Stacker hen
must go. Wedding out the poor hens
gives those left more room and a bet
ter chance. Where trap nesting Is
practiced. culling is a comparatively
simple process.
Culling should be continuous
throughout the year. This continuous
culling should consist of wedding out,
when discovered, any hen which is
sick, which is very thin or emaciated,
or which shows evidences of nonpro-
duction, weakness, or poor Vitality.
The whole flock should also be given
careful and systematic culing at
some one time. The hens should be
handled individually and gone over
carefully with the object of dividing
them into two lots, one the bette" pro-
ducers and the other the poorer pro-
ducers. From the better producers 1t
is also desirable to pick out as many
of the best as will be needed for
breeders. Band or otherwise mark
these hens so that eggs from them
only will be saved for Matching. Mar
ket those selected as the poor pro-
ducers. Save for laying and breeding
those selected as the better producers.
When a single systematic culling Is
made, the best time to do this is in
August or September. At this time Ii
is easier to form a fairly close esti-
mate of the relative value of hen as
an egg producer and to weed out the
i nonproducers. Hens which show indi
cations of laying at this time are those
which on the average have been the
better producers for the year. 1t must
be remembered, too, that the better
producers during the first laying year
are those which will be the better pro-
ducers in subsequent years. Hens
showing indications of having been
good producers throughout the year
should be retained for the next year
regardless of their age, but relatively
few hens will prove to be profitable
| producers beyond their second laying
| year if of the heavier breeds, such as
the Plymouth Rock. Rhode Island Red,
Wyandotte, or Orpington, or beyond
their third laying year if of the lighter
eds such a the Leghorn. Addi-
tional culling during July is also de-
sirable in order to eliminate hens
which have started to molt and have
stopped laying.
In going over the entire flock for
the purpose of culling there are a
number of points or characteristics
which should be given special atten-
tion in selecting the layers from the
nonlayers. Where the different char
acteristics, or several of them in the
case of any individual, agree as indi-
eating good production or poor pro-
auction, selection is comparatively ac-
eurate. Where they do not agree,
Judgment must be used in deciding
which should be given the greatest
weight. The following are the main
points to consider:
Sickness and lack of vigor are
usually indicated by listlessness, inac-
tivity, tendency to stay on or under
the roost during the day, poor appe-
tite, dull eye, dark or blush color of
comb, long toe nails, snaky or crow
head, and the tendency to 60 to roost
early In the evening and to be one Of
the last to leave the roost in the
morning.

Save Money by Selling on
Cooperative Plan.

The advantage of culling the pOul-
Try fiock-eliminating the Improbable
layers-is shown by number of re-
ports being received by the United
States department of agriculture from
county agents who have conducted
.ulling demonstrations. In many in

demonstrate to the farmers the advan-
tage of proper culling. "Culling drives"
supervised by county agents were con-
Quoted by poultry raisers in many To-
calities. In one community in Mis-
souri, the nonproducers in more than
BOO farm flocks were taken out in one
day and sent to market. In making a
report to the department of agricul-
ture on the culling work in Missouri,
Fl. e. Cosby, state extension poultry
husbandmau, says:
Saving In Grain.
Miss Nellie McGhee, emergency
home demonstration agent of Green
county. together with County Agent
e. A. COckefein, report that 16607
birds were culled out of 40,1G9-about
making saving in grain in the form
Of $9,64O.SO" The interest on the
money received for the sale of the
culls would bring the total saving to
about $4,000. Mr.. Cosby further says
ITO show the efficiency and accuracy
Of local leaders the following will
suffice: From one flock of rs chick
ems, 25 were culled out. Only one egg
was laid in the culled pen in four days.
From another flock of 200 chickens, 60
were culled. The pen of culls pro-
duced only two eggs in three days.
Fifty-two birds were culled from a
flock of So hens, leaving only six good
ones. In four days only one egg was
laid In the pen of SO culls."
One county agent reports on two
aocks. There were 142 hens in the
1rst flock, 1(5 of which were selected
to make up the winter pen of layers,
while 81 were put in the Gull pen and
fed the same ration as the others for
two weeks. During this period the
hens that were selected for winter lay.
ers laid $40 eggs, or an average Of
about 6 eggs each, while Is eggs were
produced In the other pen; less than
one egg for every two hens.
In the second flock there were 92
hens, 81 of which were retained and
Is put In the culIed ella 5. In one
week the 81 good birds produced 1877
eggs, while in the pen Of 25 discarded
hens only eight were produced.
Cooperative Marketing.
A "cull the flock" campaign was
held In nine Mississippi counties this
FALL, and as a result 10, 1872 birds weigh
ing 25,9OO pounds were marketed.
These birds came from 1.349 fiocks. If
they had been retained throughout the
winter, they would have been fed at a
loss. Through the help of county
agents these birds were sold by a CO.
operative plan and brought $569S. II
they had been sold by the individual
owners they would have brought $4,-
