sold between August 1 and November l, without any more than the normal decrease in production due to season. Moreover, only the best birds remain to be used for breeders.
 Many of these birds that stop lay ing in the late summer. and become slackers have been slackers during tine entire season, and could have been identified as such while bullets even before they were put in the laying houses.
 Methods 6of gpullet selection are similar to those used in culling,old hens except that mott and color of shanks cannot be considered. Vent, eye ring, earlobe and beak color can be considered only after the bullets have been laying Vigor, maturity, capacity and quality, that is physical fitness for fife of hard work, should be considered.
 Nigor and maturity may be eonsid- eyed as one. The strong, vigorous bird usually natures in minimum length of time for the breed. Such birds are usually characterized by a rather short head, stout broad heak, prominent eye. bright red comb, plump body and strong carriage with legs set reasonably we'll apart. Any bird with long thin head, long beak, sunken eyes, little or no comb, thin body and long crooked shanks should be discarded Any one of the above disqualification should put bird on the questionable list.
 Capacity is absolutely necessary be fore bullet can make anything like profitable production. AS the bullet hears laying condition, the develop ment of the ovary and oviduct re. atline considerable room in the body cavity. The digestive tract must also expand both i'll size and length in or. der to digest and assimilate the addi- tianal amount of nourishment re auired for both maintenance and pro- duction As the bones of the body are soft and loose jointed, the pelvic bones are forced apart and the breast bone Is forced downward and forward by the demand for room in the body cavity A measurement of this capac- ity may, be had by considering the distance between the pelvic bones and the distance across the abdomen be tween the pelvic bones and the real end of the breast bone. 4The sexact measurement will vary with the size of the bird, but bullet ready to lay should show a spread of at least two
Putnam patriot., 1920-01-23

or three fingers between the pelvic bones and the rear end of the breast bone.
 Quality IS that thin soft pliable skin texture and flexible condition of the bones which mean health A pull let should be in good condition of flesh yet not over fat. A reasonable amount of reserve energy is neces- sary to carry a bird through cold weather production. Quality is easily distinguished by the condition of the skin over the breast bone and abdom- inal cavity. The pliableness of the pelvic bones and the two lateral pro- cesses either side of the breast bone which help to support the weight of the abdomen should be considered.
 The bullets which lay first may be picked out by the general develop ment described above and by the width and color of the vent The vent color begins to fade out white be- fore any other part of the body and a few days production will make con siderable change.
 Given flock of bullets all the same age and reared under favorable conditions it is easy to pick out the best and eliminate the slaekers. Flocks of different ages with no way of dis tinguishing each lot are somewhat harder to cull but careful study will tell you whether immature bullets are young or older ones that have been stunted. Any individual that is out of condition or backward in growth will be just as backward in paying board bills during theswinter.
 Pullet selection, taat is culling the stacker hen before she has started hes year of idleness. has been demon 'strated as both practical and profita- ble. The cull bullets can be distin. guished in the flock and the poultry man cannot afford to keep them. The medium and the high producers car also be distinguished and separatei
 During the fall of 1918 the Con. inecticut Agricultural College Exten- sion Service gave bullet selection ee monstraticns on eight farms. Of this number, three returned fairly com plete figures. In each case the fiocks were divided into three lots, good, me dium and culls. The culls were dis posed of at once and the good and me dium birds were kept for comparison
 A typical farm flock of 226 bullets i showing rather low vitality was divid. ed into 90 good, 108 medium, and 2s culls. The good birds averaged 3e

Many authorities go so far as to saylthat those countries which use a lsager amount of milk per capita sh ow the .heaIthiest race of people.

When the question as raised sas to how to make the quantity ,of surplus milk smaller, there seems tp be sssaly two answers; one for the farmers to make more even prcdrc- saon rthssslgheut the year; and the oth- er, which seems more feasible, the ad- ssrtisine of their product, particular gS when ;6here is liable to be a large sanouut of unconsumed milk.
