They have pale, faded shanks and beaks.
The pelvic bones or lay bonese Of these
chickens are far enough apart so that
three fingers can be placed between
them These bones can be easily felt,
one on each side of the vent.
The best layers have thin, pliable pei
vic bones. There should not be less
than three or four fingers distance from
the pelvic bones TO the point of the
breast bone.
There also should be a good distance
around from one side of the ribs to the
other. In other words, the abdomen
should be large and rOomy, showing the
hen has a large capacity and the assimu-
latiOn Of food for the production OF eggs.
The nonproducing hens Of the meat
type have thick and beefy pelvic bones,
with hard Jumps on the ends. These
birds will never be heavy layers Dis
pose of them at the earliest opportunity
Sell all hens having hard lay bones.
especially If the distance between the
pelvic and end Of the breast bone is less
than three fingers.
Hens that have croched breast bones,
scaley legs and large toe nails should
be disposed of early.
Do not sell early Matched pullets for
hrOilers. Keep these birds, as they may
be the earlier layers. These will be
strong and good to breed from, produc-
ing strong vigorous chicks.

By FREDERICK j. CRIcK.

BY FREDERICK j. CRICK,
Former Extension Poultry Husbandman,
United States Departments of Agriculture.
In the columns of The Times last week
the subject of proper housing was dis
cussed, which now brings US to tht next
important point Of poultry raising. This
is proper breeding.
OF course this subject can be discussed
from several angles, such as line breed
ing, inbreeding and breeding for egg
production. I will not discuss the first
two points Of breeding until Later date
but will take up a few important ques-
lions which most every one Is interested
In, those of egg production.
I have been questioned a great many
times as to what is the best breed to
keep end which breed is the best.
Concerning the first question l would
suggest that the proper breed for one
to keep is the breed that they ike best.
People are most likely to give more care
to something they like than to some
thing they dislike
To the next question I would say THAT
the Leghorn type has been considered
the egg machine, but any breed can be
made to lay as good as another, pro-
viding, of course, proper methods are
used In selection.
BREED SELECTION
OF FIRST CONCERN.
The first point is to select the breed
that you like best and then breed that
particular kind to as near to the standard
of perfection as possible with egg quail
ties included.
Those that are making the greatest
success in poultry keeping are those
raising standard bred poultry, selling the
stock for breeders rather than for market.
Matching eggs from pure bred stock are
always in demand while for table use can
only bring market prices. The demand
for fall pullets is never met.
To maintain and improve the quality OF
the flock considerable care must be ex-
ercised in selecting the breeding stock,
keeping always in mind the purpose OF
the offspring, together relating TO ap-
pearance, laying qualities or other desired
prints.
To know the ancestry Of the breeders
is Of great advantage, and this is one OF
the essential reasons why records should
be kept Of the matings, to punching
or banding the chicks as they are
Matched. To secure the egg record this
may be done by trapnesting.
The foundation for the best results in
breeding Is to secure birds with strong
vitality; those that show any signs Of
ways be discarded. The male is half the
flock and has a great deal more TO do
with the laying qualities of the pullets
than the female has.
I would suggest that those starting in
the poultry business do not use birds too
closely related. introducing new blood
every two or three years.
SECOND AND THIRD
YEAR FEMALE BREEDERS.
Females In the second and third year
make the best breeders, using a eockerel

corridors were spattered with blood
from wounded who were carried into the
hotel after last nights fighting.
As the Baltic troops marched by the
hotel they wero jeered by crowd which
had gathered In front Of the building
At first the troops responded by firing
several yolleys IN the air. Then sudden
Iy they began shooting into the crowd.
Newspapermen, many American officials
and several American women watched

floors They saw soldiers leap from the

ing crowds. Dead and wounded lay In
the streets. The slaughter lasted about
three minutes.
Several American women hurried be-
low TO aid in caring for the wounded aft
er the troops had marched on. Dead and
wounded were brought into the Adlon.
Government forces later marched into
the city.
Berlin fears that the Infatuated Baltic
troops will return. 1t was said they
will refuse disarmament and decline TO
be split into companies and scattered to
different posts, as Defense Minister Noske
had planned.
1t appeared tonight that Germany's
fate depends on whether the majority so
cialists and workers stand together or
the workers follow the independent so
ciaIlsts and insist upon fulfllment Of the
radical political and industrial program
Of the independents Which, among other
things, calls for the soviet system of
councils putting a dictatorship in the
hands Of the proletariat.

In breeding for egg production the

The average hen in the United States
produces from eighty-ive to 40 eggs
a year. Any hen not coming up to the
100-egg mark Is not worth keeping. Each
bird should be tested and when the
breeding season starts only those which
