Pick Out Best Layers.
No difficulty should be met In pick

some birds, however, the distinguish

sometimes be rather contradictory.
Thus one hen may be an early mOlter
and yet show good body depth. An
other bird may mott late and at the
same time show poor quality. Birds
of this type are usually medium pro-
ducerS and the owner must decide
whether they should be kept or sold.
If the birds are being culled very
closely with the idea of keeping only
the highest producers then all those
in the doubtful class should be dis

birds are TO be sold then those show
