Tho Hogan system OF culling hens
for egg production by their bony con-
formation and physical chsracteris-
tics has been IN use for about 20
years and has constantly gained
ground. In the northwest and on the
west coast they use tho adjective
'boganizedj and every ono knows what
'hoganizod' hens means In Idaho the
agricultural extension bureau keeps a
man travelling constantly for the pur-
pose Of culling hens by tho Hogan sys-
TEN, and as a consequence Idaho hens
are becoming more productive every
year. Numerous tests have shown that
any, one at all expert in the use Of the
system can select tho best layers
in flock OF hens with almost absolute
certainty. One must have considerable
practice in using the system ard must
have had IN opportunity OF observing
tho results from culling by this system
before no can qualify ms an expert, es
under certain conditions the beginner
