There are two classes Of farm fowl
profits, and those that are profitable.
To bounce the boariers from the flock
and encourage the increase and bet
terment of the profitable blddies, are
tasks Of basic Importance which con-
front every poultryman. With feed
high in price and poultry products
correspondingly valuable, it IL OF
maximum significance to get rid of
the worthless and increase the worthy
birds In every farm flock, declare
United States department of agricul-
ture specialists.
Culling serves three purposes. 1t
lnsures that the feed will be consumed
by the profit-producing hens. 1t makes
1t possible to save those best suited
for breeders, both because of their bet
ter production and their superior
strength and vitality, which enable
them to stand up under the severe
strain Of heavy laying. 1t provides
more room by thinning out the Stacker
hens.
cuIIing Regular, Continuous.
Culling should be continuous through
out the year. 1t should consist of
wedding out, when discovered. any
hen which is sick, very thin or ema-
ciated, or which shows evidence of
non-production, weakness or poor Vi
tality. The entire flock should be given
careful and systematic inspection
and culling once year and prefer
ably several times. The hens should
be handled individually and gone over
carefully with the object Of separating
the workers from the shirkers. From
the class Of better producers 1t Is de-
sirable to pick out as many Of the best
as will be needed for subsequent breed
ing. These hens should be banded or
otherwise marked SO that their eggs
may be saved for Matching purposes
The inferior fowls should be marketed
rs soon as possible.
When single systematic culling is
made, the best time for such work
Is In August or September. Then II
Is easier to form a close estimate of
the value Of the hen as an egg pro.
ducer, as well as to weed out the un.
