AUTUMN is THE BEST TIME
TO SELECT BREEDING FLOCK
Retain Late Moutng Hens and Pules Which Develop
Lay Early Discardng the Early Moulters and Immature
Pullets-Keep Houses Dry and in Sanitary Condition

The improvident man who sold his
heating stove in July because the
circus was near and the winter far
off differs only in the degree of his
shortsightedness from the poultry
raiser who waits until spring to Sc
lect the breeding stock that is to be
usI TO replenish his flock. This
important work of picking out the
superior birds must be done in the
fall TO get the best results, says the
United States Department of Ag
riculture, for 1t is then that the
greatest contrast between the pro-
fitable birds and the poor ones shows
up. OF course the culling out of
the poor layers should go on all
through the summer and fall, but
at last the top-notchers should be
selected as foundation for the COM
ing flock which ought to be better
each year.
One god rule to follow is to keep
the pullets out of the breed ng flock
until they are fully matured. An i'm
mature bird may be a good layer
and may be from the best stock, but
still il is undesirable. Eggs from
pullets not yet fully developed will
not produce as large or as strong
chicks as those from older hens or
fully grown pullets. There is no
difficulty in knowing when a bird is
mature enough to be used as breed
er, as at that time the eggs laid
will have reached the size of the
average produced by the general run
of hens in the flock.
Young pullets always lay rather
small egg, sometimes very small at
the start. Those that mature early
may be picked out by keeping track
of the birds that start laying first
in the fall. These birds may be
marked with leg bands, so that they
will not become mixed during the
winter with those that started their
work later.
The late moulters are the birds
that stick to the job longer, and
consequently they make up another
group that should be used in form
ing the breeding flock next spring.
Leg bands may be usel to dis
tinguish these profitable birds, or,
better, the early moulters may be
marketed so that they will no long
er have an opportunity to keep down
the average egg production of the
| flock.
The general-purpose breeds, which
include the Plymouth Rocks, Rhode
Island Reds, and Wyandottes, as a
rule are not profitable after the
second year. 1t is therefore advis-
able to Gull out all of the older birds
of this class. OF these, the late
moulters are the ones to select foI
breeders, just as in the case Of fowls
of any other breed.
But the selection of birds on the
basis Of age ami time of moultinp
is not all the preparation that neec
be done for raising the foundation
for the new flock. The health anC
thrift Of the fowls must be looked
after carefully during the winter

from the attackers. Many of these
old houses are still standing. and port

moisture from the fowls bathers on
the ceiling and walls there is apt to
be trouble soon. In cold weather
this moisture may collect in the form
Of frost, but the heat from the sun
in the middle of the day will melt
the frost, and the water, dripping
down, will make the litter wet. Hens
are a good dead like sheep in their
sensitiveness TO wet feet, either in
the house or when outside, and they
can not be kept in good health on
damp litter.

From this point the nearer toward
the front the fowls are novel the
fewer eggs are produced. In smaller
houses the relative proportion Of
openings in the front of the house
must be reduced during the winter
months in order to keep the fowls
comfortable. Open fronts or open
