layers in a hundred hen houses than
sixty layers and forty loafers. Prof
its are not determined by the mere
number of birds kept, but by their
average quality, and any very large
proportion of slackers will consume
the profits produced by the workers.
All other things being equal, one
should prefer the offspring of heavy
laying breeding stock because laying
ability is surely and definitely in
herited. Too few poultrymen really
know the ancestry of their young
stock, so the majority must depend
upon physical examination of the in
dividual birds.
Personally, prefer to use pullets
which are now we'll matured, fully
feathered and showing indications that
they are about ready to lay. Birds
with abdomens well filled out, indi-
eating that digestive and producing
organs are nicely developed, with eyes
bright and full, combs red and "shoot-
ing" Big appetites, activity and a
tendency to "sing" also indicate that
work will soon start.
Next l would select those individ-
uals which have big capacity, deep
and broad in body and with plenty of
space between the point of the keel
and the pelvic bones. Finally, those
that have thin, pliable pelvic bones
with considerable distance between
their points.
| like, too, those specimens which
are relatively large in size, breed
considered. Not the overgrown spec
linens, but the big huskies. There
is much discussion regarding the re-
ltive value of large and small speci-
mems, but l put my confidence in the
big, strong birds which can stand up
under the strain of high-pressure
management.
Avoid all which are in any way
lacking in vality, as indicated by i'm
perfect feathering, crow heads, long
bills, shrunken eyes and abdomens,
knock knees, etc. They are worse
than useless.

Plant Cover Crops Now.

Now that we have had rain through
out the state and that there is good
season in the ground, it is a splendid
time to plant cover crops. The soon
er cover crops are planted now the
better results will be secured.
The agronomists believe that the
value of cover crops can not be over
estimated, for they willhaye mark
ed influence not only on crops next
year but on those for several years
to come. We now know that the most
important factor in fighting the boil
weevil is fertile soil and we also
know that the most important thing
in getting a fertile soil is the incor-
poration of organic matter. Cover
crops not only add organic matter
but they also add great deal OF
nitrogen, if leguminous cover crops
are grown.
We strongly recommend the plant
ing. of cover crops on all land ex-
cept where cotton is to be planted
next year, says Prof. c. P. Black
well, agronomist; but we do not rec
ommend the planting of cover crops
where cotton is to be planted next
year, except where soil is sandy and
where the farmer ) is sure that he
has sufficient force to plow under his
cover crop at the proper time in the
spring so that it will not delay the
planting of cotton. Cover crops may
be planted preceding corn, peanuts,
soy beans, and several others of our
regular field crops.
They may be planted either by
seeding broadcast after cotton. stalks
have been plowed under, or with a
three-tube drill between cotton rows
We strongly recommend tina the
cotton stalks be plowed under before
planting the cover crop if possible.
Where this will delay the planting
of the cover crop until late in the
year, it is probably best to plant
cover crops in the middles and cut
the stalks with stalk cutter after
frost has killed the cotton.
One of our best cover crops is
rye and hairy vetch. 1t is our safest
crop and is almost certain to give a
good result if seeded soon and at
the rate of sixty pounds of rye and
twenty pounds of vetch per acre
Oats and vetch used at the same rate
of seeding will also give good results.
Another good cover crop is crimson
clover. The only objection to it is
that it is not so easy to grow and
that a failure frequently results with
farmers inexperienced in its use.

Winter Eggs Bring Big Profit.
(By Prof. Frederic H. Stoneburn,
noplt,v EDITOR of the WORLDLY

(By Prof. Frederic H. Stoneburn,
poultry editor of the World.)
In a manufacturing business of any
kind the profits are determined by
production costs and selling prices.
The greater the margin between these
two figures the larger the profit. The
careful business man is continuously
striving to reduce the former and in
crease the latter to the end that he
may secure a greater reward for his
efforts.
In a certain sense poultry husban-
dry is a manufacturing business. Us
ing hens as machines and feed as
raw material, the poultryman pro-
duces highly essential food product
which is in steady demand the world
over. His net profit depends upon the
efficiency of the machines he uses
as well as the way in which he man.
ages them. Also, and in no small de-
gree, upon the selling policy which
he adopts.
Market eggs vary in price from year
to year in response to the operation
of certain influences which the indi-
vidual poultry keeper cannot control.
In the poultry business, as in all
other lines, there are good years and
poor ones. But in lean years and
fat years alike the producer OF mer-
ket eggs can absolutely depend upon
one thing-egg prices will be re-
latively high during the fall and
winter months and drop to much low
er levels during the spring and ear
ly summer. Since the principal item
in the cost of production, the feed is
little if any higher during this period
when the product sells to such great
advantage, it logically follows that
the percentage of possible profit is
much higher then. This, provided a
reasonably good yield is secured.
In the not distant past even the
most skillful poultryman experienced
great difficulty in inducing his birds
to lay regularly during the winter
season. Under present conditions all
this is changed. By taking advan-
tage of our present knowledge Of
poultry husbandry, including breed
ing, selection, feeding, housing, arti-
fetal light, etc., it is not difficult to
make ilock of layers shell out the
eggs from November to March at a
rate which compares very favorably
with the usual high production of tie
spring months. Such floeks may not
lay more eggs per year, but they do
Law more when prices are at the
peak. This change in the time OF
production frequently marks the diff
ference between a mighty nice profit
and an actual loss.
So commercial poultry farmers and
owners of home fiocks alike should
use all reasonable means to induce
their birds to lay steadily during the
high-price period. The former needs
the eggs to bring in the money, the
latter to supply the family table with
honest-to-goodness fresh eggs at
cost which is but fraction of the
retail price of eggs, which means that
the daily menu will be improved ane
living costs reduced.
On many poultry plants the pullets
reared this season are already safely
established in winter quarters. The
early-hatched, well-matured pullets
are the dependable winter layers
, Such are likely to begin laying at any
time and if they begin poductior
