ANNUAL HEN cuLLINe
TO BE STARTED SOON

Within the next few weeks thou
sands Of farmers and poultrymen in
practically every section of the state
will turn to the annual fall culling Of
their poultry iocks in order to elimi-
nate low producing hens and bring
about a more economical production
of eggs, poultry specialists at the
College of Agriculture say. Culling
usually can be started as early as
the middle of July, this being the
time of the year when the first hens
stop laying and go into a mott.
All hens that stop laying at this
season Of the year are not poor lay
ers, the poultrymen say, number Of
causes being responsible for hens go
ing into a mott. Among these are
sickness, improper feeding, broodi-
ness and lice and mites. However,
If the flock has been properly cared
for and fed laying ration contain
ing some animal protein, such as. a
tankage or buttermilk, and some
hens stop laying to mott there can
be no doubt that these are low pro-
ducers.
Heavy layers produce eggs all the
summer and mott late, in October
or November, after which they grow
their new feathers rapidly while low
producing hens stop laying early in
the sommuer and grow their new
feathers slowly during July and Au-
gust. AS rule, they do not start
laying until the following spring.
In culling the flock, the length OF
time that the hen has ben loafing
can be determined by the renewal OF
feathers. The body feathers ar shed
first, the tail feathers next and then
those of the wing. Color changes
due to heavy laying take place in the
vsat, beak and shanks of yellow skin
breeds. The different parts of the
body tend to bleach and become
white as the stored fat in the body
is used for egg production. The vent
changes quickly with egg production
so that the white or pink vent means
that the bird is laying.
Heavy production also is shown by
the quality of skin, heavy layers
having a soft, velvety skin that Is
not underlaid with layers of hard
fat. If the comb, wattles and ear
lobes are large, full and smooth oil
hard and waxy the bird is laying
heavily. Birds that have a driec
comb lat molting time usually are
not laying.

WOOD ALCOHOL

Every patron of bootlegger occa-
sionally has a bad moment when he
wonders, if by any chance, the stuff
he has just swallowed puts him next
on the list of wood alcohols victims.
Methyl alcohol, commonly known
as wood alcohol, is formed by the de-
structive distillation of wood. Also,
1t can be made from formaldehyde,
Intentionally or accidentally. You OBJ
serve the possibilities. of synthetic
hootch made from alcohol that has
4 been Spiked with formaldehyde or
bother poisons,. by government orders,
to make it unfit for beverage pur-
poses.
A teaspoonful of wood alcohol is
sufficient to cause blindness, begin
ming with double vision, falling of
the body's temperature, loss of SEN
sation in the nerve centers, and
rhythmic commissions.
A drink of wood alcohol causes
blindness 80 times out of 100, and
usually means certain death, though
sometimes the patient fingers for as
long as year.
Ethyl alcohol-the grain alcohol
of so-called pure whisky, sought by
many as the elixir of youth-con-
sists of combination Of two atoms
wi carbon, one of oxygen, six of hy-
drogen.
From that, take two atoms of n.y.
drogen and one of carbon, and you
have wood alcohol.
Funny, what a difference just a
few atoms make.-Editorial in Steu-
benville, Ohio. Herald-Star.
