Sin schools Of instruction in culing
poultry were held In the county last
week and personal instructions given
10 over 200 persons. A total of 2i3
hens were cullcd. % of which were
discarded as poor layers. Up TO date
lTucsday,D only one egg had been
lad by the % hens. a keen intcrcs,
was manifest in the schools. Every,
one receiving instructions went HON,
feeling that he or she had lcarnc,
much worth while. The rules for Gull
ing are 50 simple that "a i2-ycar OLD
boy or girl can comprehend them.
CULLlNG CAMPAIGN:
Miss Anne DcNault, Home Demon.
stration Agent, and the writer will
conduct u poultry culling campaign
the week beginning October q,
There being about 1000 farms in the
county, Il will he impossible for as
personally TO Gull the flock on each
farm. We are depending on those who
received instructions in culling to help
US by assisting their ncighbors and
friends TO Gull their own ilocks. A
similar campaign was put on in Green
county, where 40, 1863 hens were cullcd.
Forty per cent were poor layers. IL
was estimated that the work accom-.
plishcd In the campaign was worth
$4,000 10 the farmers of Green
county.
According TO reports made by farm
crs up To date, the average farm fl0cl,
IN this county contains l25 hens. The
results of culling 50 far indicate that
40 per cent Of the hens of the average
farm flock are poor layers, or "slack-
err hens. Assuming that there are
1000 farms in the county, there must
bc total Of 100000 hens, 100000 OF
which are sluckcrs. II will cost a total
Of 100000 to feed these slackcrs u
year.
Most of you are going to sell some
hens this fall. Which are YOU going
TO sell, the high or the low producer
Chances are you will sell the higl,
producers IL you do not learn how 10
Gull your flock or have II culled. II il
an astonishing fact that 30 per cent
Of the farmers sell of the high pro-
ducing hens In the fall. For example,
nearly all the farmers sell the late
moultcrs and keep the early moulters,
when they should do just the reverse.
Experiments have proven beyond a
doubt that the late moulters are the
best layers. There are three other dis
tinct characteristics by which good
producers can be distinguished from
the poor producers. Printed instruct
ions for culling poultry will be mailed
any one upon request. So far as IS
possible the Home Demonstration
Agent and the County Agent will Gull
fiocks for all those who request help.
