flock more than 40 per cent-or more
than two II of five hens,-do not lay
enough eggs to pay their board bill.
Retaining the boarder hen means a
double barreled loss-the loss in
grain feed and the reduction in the
average production of the flock.
Low producers lay most of their

best way to learn to Gull is to study
directions and then put them into
practice in the flock. If not sure,
separate the two groups and keep
them for two or three weeks, if pos

The best demonstrators make some
mistakes, but the percentage of err
