Poultry Raisers'
Culling Week

This is culling week with the agri-
cultural county agents and most OF
the poultry raisers in Maine. The
campaign leading up to this week S
climax was begun more than a month
ago. County agents and poultry pro-
ject leaders of the Farm Bureau have
been telling, over and over. the story
of how easy but important it is TO
tell profitable laying pullet from
one that can never be able TO earn
her board.
Throughout the state farmers by
the hundreds have been enrolling for
the campaign, signing little slips of
cardboard on which were printed a
pledge to make careful examination
of the flocks. Gull out the non-pro-
ducers and commit them to the
dressed poultry market
Up to last Saturday 3l2 poultry
men in Hancock county had enrolled
in this campaign. In Knox and Lin
coin counties 24S names were en-
rolled, in kennebec 357, in Washing
ton county 50, in Androscoggin and
Sagadahoc $50, ad other counties in
similar proportion.
1t will be busy week for the coun-
ty agents and the poultry project
leaders, who as far as they are able
will assist the farmers in living up
to their pledges. Q. NJ. Wilbur. state
poultry specialist of the College of
Agriculture extension service. has
been out in the fields several weeks.
pushing this campaign. which is ex-
pected to be of real value in the
poultry industry in Maine. Speak
ing Of the rules to follow in culling
hens, Mr.. Wilbur says:
ANY person can with very little
study learn to tell poor hen from
a good one. The whole principle is
based on the fact that when a hen
lays, certain changes take place in
the external character of her body.
The longer and more intense the lay
ing. the greater the changes. First
OF all, poor hen will mouit early in
the summer, while a good hen will
continue laying until late summer or
fall before shedding her feathers.
In most of the common breeds
there is a characteristic yellow color
in the skin. beak and shanks OF the
pullets before they begin laying.
This color is pigment or fat in the
skin. and just underneath the skin.
which when the pullet begins to lay
is utilized in the formation Of the egg
yolks. The more eggs a hen lays, the
greater the drain upon her system,
and after continued laying the yellow
color has disappeared. The color
leaves the body in definite order as
laying progresses: first leaving the
vent. then the eye-ring. next the
beak and, finally. the shanks. At
this season. then, a hen which shows
yellow present in all these sections
has definite indications Of being a
low producer. If the color has left
the body and shanks. the Indication
is of long period or production.
Alter q hen has ceased laying the

 Cleveland, July 15-O. N. S.)- More than 11,000 additional railroad employees members of the American Federation of Railroad Workers, will join the strike of the shopcraftsmen Monday, it was announced here to- day. The men affected by the new strike order are employed as coach repairers, painters, freight car repair CTS, inspectors and pipe filters, and all roads entering Cleveland will be affected, union leaders said, but the greatest effect will be felt by the New York Central, where more than 400 members of the union are said to be employed in the Collinwood shops and in inspecting trains entering and leav- ing Cleveland.
 Passenger and freight traffic will be impeded immediately the strike order becomes effective, union leaders de- clared.
 A strike vote, taken last night by members of the organization was al most unanimous in favor of the walk out, it was declared.
 Officials of the New York Central said today that the walkout of these men would in no way affect service. "Our trains are all running 100 per cent. with passenger and freight ser vice in and out of Cleveland" it was said at the general offices. We added one additional regular train to our schedule today"
