during the mott. The better pro-
ducers lay late in the fall and there
fore mott late. Late molters also
molt rapidly, as a rule, while early
molters mott slowly. Therefore,
save the hens that have not molted
by August or are only just begin
ming to mott late in September or
in October, and discard those which
have finished melting or are well
into the mott. The hens that mott
latest, provided they are otherwise
desirable, are the best to save for
breeders.
Hens Take on Fat.
AS a hen stops laying there is a
tendency for her to take on fat.
This is noticeable in examining the
pelvic bones, the two bones which
can be felt as points on either side
of the vent. When the hen is lay
ing, these bones are comparatively
thin and flexible When she is not
laying, they feel thicker and less
flexible, due to the fat which has
accumulated there. Often poor pro-
ducers are somewhat beefy in type,
even when in laying condition, than
do good producers. The spread, or
distance apart, of the pelvic bones
is also a valuable indication of
whether the hen is laying. When
laying they are wider apart than
when the hen is not laying. The
spread can be roughly measured
for practical purposes by determin,
ing how many fingers can be laid
between the bones. If the spread
measures two fingers or less, the
probabilities are that the hen is
not laying, while if the spread is
greater, she is probably laying.
In brief, Gull hens that are sick
weak, lacking vigor, inactive, poor
eaters, early molters, with small
puckered, hard, dry vents; with
small, shriveled, hard, scaly, dull
colored combs; with thick or coarse
stiff pelvic bones, close together,
small spread between pelvic bones
and rear end of keel, and hard,
small abdomen. In breeds with vel
low skin and shanks, the discarded
hens should also show yellow or
medium yellow shanks and yellow
beaks and vents.
Save hens that are healthy,
strong, vigorous, alert and active;

LAYING HENS PAY;
GULL OUT SLACKERS
Profits Depend on Eliminating Poor
Layers-EarIy Fall Best Time.

Gull the slackers" is the slogan
of the successful poultry man of to-
day. All during the year he weeds
out the sick, the weak, and those
which show evidences of nonpro-
ductive weakness or poor vitality;
but before cold weather sets in the
whole flock is given careful sys-
tematic culling. Culling serves
three purposes, poultry specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture say. ~. 1t increases
the profits by insuring that the
feed will be consumed by the bet
reproducing hens, the profit pay
ers, and will not be continued by
the poor producers, which are kept
at a loss. (2). 1t makes it posi-
BILE to save those best suited for
breeders, both on account of their
better production and account OF
their superior strength and vitality,
which have enabled them to stand
up under tse severe strain of heavy
laying. 20. Wedding out the poor
hen gives more room and better
chance to those left. Where trap
nesting is practiced. culling is a
comparatively simple process, as
the recorded egg record enables one
to determine, whether hen should
be retained or discarded.
Market Poor Producers.
The hens should be handled in
dividually and gone over carefully
with the object Of dividing them in
to two lots-one the better produc-
ers and the other the poorer pro-
ducers. From the better producers
it is also desirable to pick out and
band, or otherwise mark, as many
of the best as will be needed for
breeders. Market those selected as
the poor producers. Save the bet
ter producers for laying and breed
ing.
When a single systematic culling
is made, the best time to do it is in
early fall. At this time it is easier
to form a close estimate of the rela-
tive value of hen as an egg pro
Queer and to weed out the poor
layers Hens that show indications
Of laying at this time are those
which on the average have been the
better producers for the year. 1t
must be remembered, too, that the
better producers during the first
laying year are usually those which
will be the better producers in sub
sequent years.
Noting is probably the most val
liable and most easily applied test
Of production. Hens cease laying
completely, or almost completely,

Easier to Prevent Calf
Diseases Than Cure Them

Most calf ailments are due to i'm
proper feeding or insanitary condi-
tions, or both Keep the calf out
of cold rains in winter as much as
possible and provide a dry, we'll
bedded stall at night.
Provide natures tonics-exercise
sunshine, pure air, abundance of
fresh water, and a variety of feeds
and there will be little need for
medical attention 1t is better to
prevent the occurrence of disease
than to be under the necessity of
curing it afterward.
Observe the calf at all times. II
it should appear drowsy, feverish.
stiff or sluggish, act quickly. Re-
duce feed at once, and the disorder
may be in large measure prevent
ed. Keep salt before the calf at all
times. An abundant supply of fresh
water should be available always.
Some of the commoner ailments
can be treated by following in
structions which are contained in
various bulletins and publications
of the United States department Of
agriculture. In case of serious i'll
ness, consult a competent veterin-
