HANG ONTO YEARLING FOWLS
Practice Of Selling Of Young Hens
In Fall Is WastefuI Habit Of
Some Farmers.

One Of the most wasteful habits
that poultrymen and farmers have
been guilty of in the past has been
the practice Of selling off the young
hens every fall, keeping only those
needed for the breeding pen the fol-
lowing season.
They then pin their hope and faith
on the uncertain qualities of the pull
lets which they have raised, because
1t has been thought that 1t is not
profitable to keep hens after their
pullet years. Happily, this has not
proved itself true in the numerous In
vestigations which have been made
into the matter by the experiment
stations and by practical poultrymen
who are attempting to evolve the ut
most in egg production in their iocks.

Delighted, as always when some one
she liked showed interest in the work
she loved so well, the girl forgot her
preoccupation in a %twinkling and,
jumping up, gaily linked Philips arm
and led him across to the tall canvas
beside the pier glass.
"There!" she laughed-"did you
know Priscilla Maine could be like
that?"
Impressed by his first glance, Philip
merely uttered a thoughtful "Hmm! 7"
and in silence studied the portrait
with an intelligent appreciation not
unmixed with wonder.
Priscilla released his arm and
stepped back, pleased by this mute
tribute, pleased as well to have her
overnight impression confirmed,
experiencing that rare, warm glow of
qualification which only an artist
knows when he looks upon his handi-
work and finds it good.

that he was called Blackie.
Every morning the little girl who
lived in the big farm house came out
to feed the chicks.
