CULLING LAYERS
By a Fancier

The trap nest is of course the best way
to find out which of your hens are laying.
But an experienced poultryman has sew
eral other ways to find this out.
The system of culling is based to great
extent, especially in Leghorns, by the man
ner in which the yellow fat is deposited
in the tissues and the way it affects pig
mentation and as this color shifts or is ex-
hausted, the egg yield varies. In other
words the hen gives her very self to her
eggs and unless her food is such to keep
her in condition there must come a time
when she cannot lay eggs. Below are
given few rules for culling poultry.
The color changes in laying hens are
first noticed on the shanks, ears, beak and
vent. AS the fat is exhausted these parts
become pale. In other words hen with
what we call white vent is not laying.
The color goes out Of the beak first at the
base and finally leaves the front part Of
the upper beak. The lower beak bleaches
faster than the upper.
The shanks are last to bleach, that is
they take longer, although they are very
apt to start first. The color first leaves the
scales in front and finally the scales in the
rear. The scales on what is called the
heel of the shank are the last to lose their
color. The yellow color comes back into
the vent, beak, eye rings, ear lobes, beak
and shank in the same order it went out,
but much more quickly if the hen is given
proper food.
The head Of high producing hen is
fine. The ear lobes fit close to the beak,
they are never loose or aabby. The face
is clean cut. The eye is full, round and

Marshall Field & Co., Chicago. Their
adopted business slogan is, Remember the
Customer is always right" and there is no
doubt but what it has helped considerably
in placing them in the position they hold
today in the mercantile trade. It could be
followed out to good advantage in selling.
Selling merchant quantity of goods,
when he is carrying competitive line that
has proven entirely satisfactory to his
trade is generally very difficult task.
He cannot perhaps be persuaded into
placing very large order, but if the new
goods are presented in very diplomatic
and tactful manner, and he is convinced
that the goods are of good quality, he
may consider giving the salesman small
trial order. He will, if the goods sell,
order larger amount when the salesman
calls again on his next trip, and later on
if the new goods seem to outsell the old,
he will most likely abandon the old line
entirely.
1t would make this paper too lengthy to
continue on and discuss the many other
points in selling, and so will bring this to
close by saying, that perhaps after all,
success in selling, or any other profession,
trade, or business, is attained only through
good, hard, honest, work, and then, more
work.

LAST OF AN INDIAN TRIBE

Three Indians on thousand-acre reser-
walton, within few hours ride of New
York City, is the story that comes from the
Scaticook Mountain Reservation, near
Kent, Conn. Scaticook is interpreted to
mean "at the river fork" Here, in 1890,
or few years later, a Pequot Indian
named Gideon Mauwehee, or Mahwee, es-
tablished himself and invited the broken
Paugusset, Uncowa and Potatuc tribes
further down the river to join his colony,
which they did. Calamity has followed
the settlement throughout most of its exis-
tence. In 1743 the Moravians established
mission among its people, and later in
duced many of them to migrate to Penn
sylvania. There they sickened and died
in numbers the remnant struggling back
to the Scaticook home, where they lived
on, neglected and poor. They were too
weak to take any part in the French and
Indian War, and by 1852 had dwindled
to eighteen families. This diminution con-
tinued, until in 1886 there were but sew
enty-one persons, in 1907 but thirty-fve, in
1919 only eight or ten full-blooded Indians
and twenty or thirty mixed, in 100, but
one full blood and fourteen mixed. Today
there are but three of any kinds.

The Old Year

~ Edgar Il. Guest
The Old Years slipping sea
70 join the years which used to be.
A few more hours it has to last
And then with the remembered past
1t takes its place with thousands more
Just like it which have gone before.
Some OF US mourn its passing on,
Others may smile when it has gone
And hopefully embrace the new,
Turning to it as humans do
Unto the friend who comes to bring
Them comfort for their sorrowing
What is the cargo of Year?
Joy, hope, success and doubt and fear
Failure and victory and mirth
The pain of death, the thrill of birth
And gain and loss, and each in turn
Some portion of it all shall earn
Each Of US by his strength of will
Shall shape the year, for good or ill.,
Save the inevitable blow
Which strikes the dearly loved ones low,
BY all we do and all we
The year that comes we make or mar
Within the year tonight that dies
The record of our service lies
Unchanged through all that shall occur
This year shall tell the were,
Ages unborn shall it through
And learn just what dared to do

very prominent. The feathers lie close to
the body. As the egg season progresses
the oil is not supplied and the feathers on
the best layers become worn and thread
bare.
If the comb wattles and ear lobes are
large, full and smooth and waxy, the hen
is laying heavily. On the other hand if
the comb is limp, instead Of laying eggs
she is laying down on her job. A warm
comb is an indication that hen is coming
back to production.
When a hen stops laying during the
summer months she usually starts to mott
The longer you can keep her from mott
ing the more eggs you get. The poultry
men figure six to eight weeks for mott.
There are several body changes that
should be noted. Laying hens have large
moist vents showing dilated condition.
The vent of a non-layer is hard and
puckered.
The whole abdomen of the laying hen
is dilated so that the pelvic arches are
wide spread with the keel forced down.
The following chart given by the Cornell
school of culling will perhaps give you a
better idea.

By order of Postmaster General
Will Hays, the star mail routes cper
ating between Columbia and Lewis
burg and Columbia and Lawrenceburg
will be discontinued on November Is.
The order was received at the local
postoffice this morning.
The expense of operating these
routes has proven greater than the re,
ceipts, and the order to discont;sue
them was given in the interest OF the
postal departments program of econ
omy.
The discontinuance of these routes
will hit Columbia hard. One of the
most noticeable results of the discontin-
uance will be the failure of the Nash
vile morning papers to arrive in time
for the breakfast table" These pa
pers have. in the past been shipped to

The route operating between Cen
treyille and Columbia is understood
to be making expenses and will rot

being.
The two routes traversed
thickly populated territory, and
the discontinuance of this ser
vice will be felt keenly by the many

ROBBERS enter
SMART SHOP AND
MAKE Get AWAY
TAKE MERCHANDISE OF THE
VALUE OF ABOUT $500 DUR.
ING THE NIGHT.
Cash DRAWER is UNTOUCHED
Losses Confined to Women's Wearing
Apparel-No Effort Being Made to
Modest the Safe-Done in the Heart
: of the Business District.
From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)


Robbers entered the Smart Shop of
+. p. Turner on the corner of West
Seventh and Garden streets. right in
the heart of the business district DUR
ing Monday night and took goods
worth $500 or more and made their
get away. So far as could be ascer-
tanned the robbers left not a single
clue that is likely to lead to their
capture.
The robbery was not discovered I'M
I'll this morning at time to open for
the business of the day In the mean
time the robbers had had plenty OF
time to get to another part of the
state or even leave the state.
An entrance to the store was fore
ed through the front door which opens
on the corner OF two of the principal
streets of the city. An iron bar of
some kind was used to pry the two
swinging doors open. 1t was a COM
paratiyely easy matter to do this.
AS far as Mr.. Turner could ascer,
tain this morning the loss consisted
of seven ladies dresses, four and one
half women's suits, twelve women's
waists and dozen petticoats. There
may have been still other articles of
wearing apparel taken as It would lie /
impossible to find every article that
might have been lost. 1t could not
be definitely ascertained for example,
whether or not any of the high priced
ladies hosiery had been taken. If so
this would increase the loss.
Mr.. Turner said that he did not he
lieye that his loss would be over $3.50.
The remarkable feature of the lob
berry was that the safe and even the
cash drawer We're untouched. There
was about $3.50 in change in the cash
drawer that could have been had for
the taking but evidently the robbers
did not go that far TO the rear of the
store. The loss was not covered by
insurance. 1t appears that the robbers
simply took the merchandise without
any particular selection as all of the
dresses were taken from the same
rack and all were hanging together.
