Would you know a good laying hen
If you should meet one? Hundreds
Of farmers would. They have found
out that the best producing hens have
certain characteristics difficult to hide.
II they doubt general appearances 1t
Ia n simple matter TO catch the bird
and by a few movements either con-
firm or dispel the doubt. There's no
getting away from the fact-a good
hen can't hide her good qualities from
well.informed poultry raisers. Some
not so well informed had TO go through
the 'show-me" stage, and the extern
sion service of the University OF Mis-
souri, college of agriculture, acting
through specialists and county agents
proceeded to do the showing. These
agents last year held 2,26S culling dem
On%strations. Out of the 100000 birds
handled, $1,000 were culls. The doubt
ers were instructed 10 retain the culls
and report the number OF eggs re-
ceived. In no case have the culls
been found profitable.

Thus one hen may be an early molter

few years there Is sure to be more or
