Certainly these are representative
questions and it would not require 8
highly specialized knowledge of the
Scriptures to answer them all correct
ly. Yet the average pupil could an
swer only about one-third of the qu-
estions correctly. Only q per cent
could name five books Of the Old
Testament, 20 per cent knew five New
Testament books, and but 9 per cent
knew who spoke the Beatitudes and
could quote one of them.
1t was on question seven, however,
that the most surprising showing was
made. Only 80 per cent of the papers
graded showed a correct version of
the 10 words Of the Lords Prayer, al
though it forms part of nearly ev-
cry Sunday school service! Some
pupils gave Nov l lay me down to

attempt at ALL Most of the errors,
however, occurred in attempting to
spell the word '1hallowed," and many
of the versions given, such as 'hail

showed that the pupils understanding
of the meaning of the word was as
faulty as his spelling. Many of the
answers to other questions would
have had humorous aspect, had the
ignorance not been so lamentable.

mess management is neglected and
no consideration given to the care

"Culling is merely one phases of
the breeding factor and should not
be looked upon as panacea for al
the poultry troubles, for alone, il
will not relieve all the difficulty
even though it may increase the her
production per year.
"Culling is comparatively simple
operation, yet should be done with
much discretion, and where properly
done, will do much to improve the
farm flock in vitality, production
and breed quality.
Hunting Out Disease
"The first thing to look for is any
indication of disease or weakness of
any kind. Vitality is essential to
production, and all diseased or weak
individuals should be eliminated
from the flock, regardless of produc-
ton tendencies. The understood
slow developing bird will never be a
maximum producer and the course
unusually large and beefy bird will
also be lower producer.
Every breeder should know his
breed and his flock, even the indi-
viduals in the flock. The better one
knows the breed ard flock the better
one can Gull.
The time Of year that the hen
molts is important in detecting pro-
duction, but the time it takes her to
mott is even more important. The
real early molter usually molts slow
ly and takes long time for it, and
is usually low or medium producer
while the late molter usually mOlts
rapidly and is usually more profit
table producer.
1.-The comb and wattles of the pro-
or and have waxy feeling to the
touch. The eye will be bright, clear
and set we'll out in the head, while
the eye of the poor hen is likely to
be deep set in the head, dull and
the head coarse and heavy over the
eye. Avoid the long slender, snake
like head. 1t usually indicates low
vitality and low production.
"The comb and waffle development
is an indication of sex development.
Production is the result of sex de-
velopment, hence one will never find
a real heavy producer with a decided
ly poor development of comb and
waffle. One may find some poor pro-
ducers with we'll developed comb and
wattles, but they are frequently
coarse in texture.
Which Produce Best
"The body conformation has much
to do with production and the laying
hen is easy to detect by an examina-
ton of the pelvic bones, the two
thin, straight projections at the
rear end of the back bone on either
side. When a hen is producing,
these bones should be at least two
fingers apart, allowing three-fourths
of, an inch per finger, for the egg
