NOW IS THE TIME TO GULL THE
FLOCK
BY J. Holmes Martin

Culling, which means the elimina-
tion of the weak, Improbable and I'M
desirable birds, can best be done in
August and early September. Gull
ing saves on the feed bill and puts
the feed consumed by the flock to
productive purposes. II the non-pro-
ductive hens are eliminated from the
farm flock, the wasted feed picked
up by the fowls will go to productive
hens. At this time of the year the
non reproductive hen is most easily dis
tinguished and should be eliminated
to prevent her being used as a
breeder next spring. A few low.
producing hens will pull down the
egg production of the flock if used
as breeders.
One should strive TO keep up the
average production Of the flock, and
this can only be done by close Gull
ing. Hens will stop laying and &c

Of poor management condition or in

POULTRY HOUSING METHODS
WILL BE FEATURE OF

Lexington, KY, Aug. 16.-Special
attention will be paid to poultry
housing problems by the poultry de.
partment of the College of Agricul-
ture in its exhibit at the Kentucky
State Fair, September II to II, ac-
cording to an announcement from the
college. Models will be used in the
display to show interested farmers
and poultrymen how they can convert
practically all types Of houses into
those which have plenty of light,
fresh air, sufficient floor space for
scratching and exercising purposes
and at the same time are free from
drafts. The display will be a part
of the one to be made by the college
in the Grandstand Building.
Proper housing is an important
item in Kentucky poultry raising at
the present time, according to field
agents Of the college who have in
vestigated conditions in all parts OF
the State. The exhibit has been de.
signed to help farmers adapt theil
poultry houses TO the special needs
of their farms and hocks. Questions
concerning housing and other poultry
problems will be answered by a mem
ber Of the department who will be
present with the exhibit.

MT. VERNON FAIR
ROckcastIe County

The Mt. Vernon Fair has just
closed with success this year. Up
until this year the fair has been open
to the world. 1t was made a Rock.
castle county fair this year and
marked with success. There were
more horses, mules, hogs, cattle,
poultry, agricultural products, and
club work exhibited than in any pre-
vious year.
The people of Rockcastle support
the fair and feel that they should
have chance. They got it this
year and showed their interest by
exhibiting and being present.
The two other things changed and
the Mt. Vernon fair will become the
peoples fair sure enough:
First-The date should be changed
from August to September. Agri-
cultural products are not ready for
exhibition in August.
Second-The carnivals with all of
their activities both on the streets
and fair ground should be discon-
tinued. Agricultural products, live
stock, poultry, club work, womens'
department, merchants exhibit
booths with farm machinery, etc,
school and community exhibits, and
home talent should take their places.

Hens without the ability to lay
will go into an early moult, irrespec.
tive of the care given the flock. This
is clearly shown by the trap.nest
records of flock of 55 White Wyan-
dottes on the Kentucky Experiment
Station Farm. This flock was fed
dry mash Of 20 percent tankage
thruout the year and averaged to
lay 1913 eggs per hen.
It is very simple matter to tell
a laying hen. She has large, moist
vent, showing a dilated condition ani
looseness as compared with the hard,
puckered vent of a non-laying hen.
Just below the vent are the two pin
or pelvic bones. one on each side,
projecting toward the rear. By
placing the fingers, fiat, between
these bones, the width apart can be
determined. II the ends Of the bone
are soft and pliable and the width
of two or three ordinary fingers
varying with the size OF the hen)
can be placed between them, the hen
is, in all probability, laying at the
time of examination. II the bones
are close together and the points
hard, the bird is probably not laying.
The comb and wattles of a laying
hen are bright red and expanded
when those of a non.layer are pale
and shriveled.
Laying uses up the surplus fat in
the body. In yellow-skinned breeds
this loss of fat can readily be seen
by the loss Of the yellow color.
Then different parts of the body tend
to bleach and become white as the
hen continues to lay. The changes
occur in the following order:
The vent changes very quickly
with egg production so that white
or pink vent of a yellow skinned bird
generally means that the bird is lay
ing, while a yellow vent means
bird is not laying. 1t should be rec.
ognized that all yellow color changes
are dependent on the feed, coarse
ness of skin and the size Of bird. A
heavy bird fed on an abundance Of
green feed and yellow corn, which
will color the fat deep yellow, will
not bleach out nearly as Grickly as
smaller or paler-colored bird.
The color goes out Of the beak,
beginning at the base and gradually
disappearing until it finally leaves
the front part of the upper beak.
The lower beak bleaches faster than
the upper, and should be used where
the upper beak is obscured by horn
or black. On the average-colored
yellow skinned bird, a tleacheds beak
means that the hen has been hying
for at least the past four to six
weeks.
The shanks are the slowest out and
hence indicate much longer period
of production than the beak. The
yellow goes out from the scales on
the front of the shanks first ald
finally from the scales on the rear.
A bleached-out shank usually indi-
Gates fairly heavy production for at
least five or six months. When
hen stops laying the yellow color
returns much more quickly than it
goes out.
