lets there are some that are plainly
| superior to the bulk of the flock,
while others are distinctly inferior.
The old saying that "pullet is a
pullet" should have no weight with
| us. as all inferior stock should be
discarded. 1t is not easy to select the
future high layers from among our
pullets, but we can build up our
flock by culling out all chickens
showing signs of weakness. This GULL
ing should begin as soon as the
chickens are Matched and continued
indefinitely. There are certain indi-
cations of weakness such as the long
slender beak, the fiat head. small legs,
long toes and dropping wings, which
should be carefully noted.
As the heaviest layers usually begin
to lay early in the fall. or early as
compared with the other pullets, they
should as soon as discovered be
marked and saved. The weaker pull
let's. as rapidly as they are found,
should be eaten or otherwise disposed
of. 1t seldom pays to attempt to fat
ten them as they improve very slowly
if at all in confinement and cannot
stand forced feeding. Neither is it
advisable to put the Gull pullets in the
pens with the cockerels.
From now on the puliets that are
to be kept for future layers should
be allowed as much range as pos
sible and fed as directed in last
weeks article, until they are ready
for the laying houses. II any are
roosting outside it would be we'll to
train them to roost under shelter,
though it may be necessary to cut
the wings to prevent their flying in
the trees in which they may have
been rooSting.
AS to the selection of next years
layers from the old f1ocks, this sub
ject was fully discussed in The Sun
day Star on July 20.

Now. Bill couldn't seem to make

This gave Bill something to think
about. He decided to specialize and
make a real factory out of his shop.
That night he talked it over with his
mother. Bill wanted to start a bow

Together they drew up the plans.
Bill would make combination
sleeveboard and small, ironing board
that would be a labor saver. On one
side a lady could iron shirt or q
few handkerchiefs without TIL e
trouble of getting out her big board;
on the other side she could iron
sleeves.
Even Mrs. O'Flaherty wanted one

output was ten boards a week. one

Bill had the right idea. Whether
or not 1t is sleeveboards, the way to
make money out of a home workshop
is to specialize in making some one

Only Third of Original Rainbow Men Were With

during the fighting is shown by the number of replacement troops which passed through its muster rolls during that period. This number is placed by officers of the division at approximae- ly 6I,000 men against the full war strength of 27.500. Each time it was withdrawn for rest it was necessary practically to reconstitute the divis- ions personnel because of casualties. Toward the end of the fighting. how ever. many of the men sent forward in replacements were original members of the Rainbow division. who had re- covered and returned to duty.

St. Johns, N. F., May 2.-The United States navy became . real factor In the contest for transatlantic flight honors when the mine layer ArOstok, flying the Stars and Stripes, dropped Bay today. It has on board the crew of the naval air station which will be maintained as the base for the Ameri- can flying bouts.
 The arrival of the Aroostook with the hint it brought of the early arrival of the American naval seaplanes for their start or the transatlantic flight caused noticeable concern to Harry Hawker, Australian. and Capt. Frederick P. Raynham, Briton, who have been here nearly month awaiting favorable weather for the trip in their land planes
 Held on the ground by continuance of unfavorable conditions, they read of the selection of Trepassey Bay as the United States flight base and professed no anx- iety over the possibility of being outdone in the overseas flight.
 The Nancy boats of the United States navy must get here first commented Raynham, in speaking of the prospects for the naEy's NC planes
