as many OF the best as we'll be- need-
ed for subsequent breeding. These
hens should be banded or otherwise

the value OF the hen as an egg pro-

improbable birds Hens which show
indications of laying at this time are
those which on the average have
been the better producers for the
year. 1t must be remembered also,
that the better producers during the
first laying year are those which will
be the superior yielders in subse-
quent years. Hens showing indica-
tons of having been good producers
throughout the year should be re-
tanned for the next year regardless o.
their age, but relatively few hens Will
prove to be profitable producers be-
yond their second laying year if they
are of the heavier breeds, such as the
Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red.

lighter breeds. such as the LeghorE
Additional culling during July is also
desirable in order to eliminate hens
which have started to mott and have
stopped laying.
In culling the flock remember that
it is safer to depend upon the agree

characteristics than to select by any
one alone. With this in mind, Gull
