BIG LAYERS LATE MOLTERS
FowIs That Molt In October and No
Venfber Are Largest Producers Of
Eggs In Winter.

Hens that molt as late as October
and November are the high layers.
Some will lay into December before
taking on their new coat of feathers.
Poor layers invariably are those that
molt in summer and early autumn. At
the end Of the laying season their leg
Is a bright yellow and with little or no
change in color of plumage or cOndi-
tlOn.
Don't coop up a hen that looks shah
by in color and condition in the win
ter, as your best layers will show signs
of fading and rundown appearance.
Show them favOrs, as they are the ones
that produce and have the breeding.
If one will select a pen of late mol
ters and give them a male bird Of a
good laying strain, the matches from
them will greatly improve the egg pro-
ductiOn.
