Gull Doubtful Hens

When culling a flock of hens
at the end of the laying season
there are always a few individ-
uals that may be classed as
doubtful, Very often the owner
of the birds allows sympathy
to interfere with good business.
According to G. w. Hervey of
the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture, it is better
to Gull a bird that may lay five
or six eggs only this fall than
to keep her all winter as an abb
solute expense.
A hen may show the charac-
teristic body depts of three or
more fingers and yet may have
a one finger spread between the
pelvic bones. This means that
the bird has stopped laying but
her period of non-production
hasn't been long enough for the
body depth to close up also.
She has reached the point where
she will be kept at a loss.
Sometimes a bird may exhibit
the desired characteristics Of
both good body depth and we'll
spread pelvic bones yet her Skin
under the fluff may feel tough
and leathery. Such a hen will
invariably have coarse pelvic
bones and a coarse breast bone
She may have had a period Of
production DUNG the summer
but her total for the year would
not Justify retaining her au
other season.

breeds, the Wyandotte, Ply

Red, one is apt to be confused by
the shank color test. The test
is not so reliable with these
heavier breeds as it is with
Leghorns for the reason that
when they become broody a GER
tain amount of pigment is like
ly to return to the shank. One
must make due allowance for
this and if the bird is favorable
in appearance otherwise it may
be profitable to keep her over
as a breeder for the spring sea-
son.
In general, then, the poultry
keeper when culling must not be
influenced by any single factor,
but must consider all of them.
The more rigid the .culling the
more capable is the flock man.
agement. 1t is usually safe to
market at least half Of the to-
tai number of hens at the end
of the laying season, replacing
them with pullets.

Would you know a good lay
ing hen if you should meet one =?
Hundreds Of Missouri farmers
would. They have found out
that the best producing hens
have certain characteristics diff
icult to hide. If they doubt gen.
eral appearances it is a simple
matter to catch the bird and by
a few moments either confirm
or eXpel the doubt. There's no
getting away from the fact

qualities from Missouri's we'll

instruction for Live Stock Ship
perS.

PNAos
Instruction in the grading of
live stock and in the keeping
of shipping association accounts
will be given in a short course
for managers of live stock ship
ping associations on the East
st. Louis market November 18,
10, and 20. This short course is
especially intended to serve the
interests of managers from
Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas and
Kentucky. Experienced men of
the U. S. Bureau of Markets
will give instruction in the best
methods of grading stock and
in prorating expenses. Some of
the stock graded will be follow
ed to the packing house to see
how the different grades kill
out. The efficiency of shipping
associations largely depends on
the factors taken up in this
short course.
The holding of this meeting
also affords an opportunity for
managers to confer on their
common marketing problems.
