POULTRY CULLINC
DEMONSTRATIONS
PAYS TO GULL THE AVERAGE
FARM FLOCK AND GET RID
OF NON-PRODUCERS
In Six Communities in Fergus
County About so Per Cent of Hens
Pronounced Good; 40 Per Cent
Branded CuIIs.

The poultry culling demonstrations
held during the month of August in
six different communities of Fergus
county certainly demonstrated that
1t pays to Gull the average farm flock
and get rid of the non-laying hens,
says Carl Peterson, county agent. He
makes the following report, which,
while it is for only one county, is a
good example to all poulary raisers.
During the demonstrations BIT
hens were examined, of which 172
were pronounced good and 145 con-
sidered culls by H. E. Cushman and
her assistants.
1t is interesting to note the egg
laying records of these birds before
and after culling. A record was kept
for one week prior to culling and
then a separate count kept of the
eggs laid by the hens pronounced as
worth keeping, and also the culls.
The 317 hens laid a total of 1918
eggs the week before culling, and the
week following laid a total of 1886
eggs, of which in the last instance
958 were laid by the 172 good birds
and only 1928 by the 145 culls. In
other words nearly as many eggs
were laid by the reduced flock as
by the entire flock before culling.
This indicates that the egg produc-
tion of the average farm flock needs
a little boosting and the best place
to begin is by culling the flock for
non-layers.
At this time of the year the aver
age farm flock is beginning to mott
and egg production is naturally low,
yet by handling each individual bird
and following certain well known
rules that characterize a heavy lay
ing hen, n can readily pick out the
layers and get rid of the culls.
Have you culled your flock? Do
you know how? If not, write to your /
county agent or to the Extension Ser
vice, Bozeman, for circular No. So.
1t tells why you should Gull your
flock and how. Do it now.

MORE ABOUT THE MARKETING
OF TURKEYS TO ADVANTAGE

The market season for turkeys i
rather short, extending from the mid
die of November to the last of De
cember at which time the demand TO
turkeys is great and the prices ar
the highest of any time during thu
year.
When turkeys are to be shipped tt
distant markets they should be start
ed so as to arrive at least 10 or X
days before Thanksgiving or Christ
mas. When selecting birds to mar
ket, remember that No. l grade tur-
keys bring a much better price. A
good practice is to go through your
flock just before the Thanksgiving
market and select all the plump, fat
birds to kill. Birds that do not grade
up should be turned out and the fat
tening continued for the Christmas
market. The opinion expressed by
buyers would seem to indicate that
over a series of years the best time
of year to market is between Thanks
giving and Christmas and that most
of the birds are in better condition
at that time of the year.
Turkeys can be sold alive or dress
ed to the local markets or buyers
but they should not be shipped alive
for any distance as they lose weight
rapidly during transit and there is
a further heavy loss due to birds
dying during shipment.
When shipping live turkeys the
coop should be much higher than
that used for chickens. A coop 20
inches high, two feet six inches wide
and four feet long is an excellent
size. This coop should be made with
a solid bottom, strong frame sides
closely Slated or covered with wire
so the birds cannot stick their heads
out, and the top closely Slated. Di-
vide the coop into two equal parts
by a center cross partition.
If turkeys are to be shipped very
far it is best to kill and dress them
on the farm.
All birds that are to be killed
should be shut up and left without
feed for SO hours. They can be given
water until about twelve hours be-
fore killing. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that there be no food in the
crop or intestine when the birds are

SET DATES FOR SIX
TURKEY MARKETING
DEMONSTRATIONS

Tentative dates for six turkey dem.
onstrations, each of two day dura-
ton, have been announced by H. E.
Cushman, poultry specialist, in con-
nection with a turkey marketing pro-
gram which is being fostered in Mon
tana by the Extension Service of the
State College at Bozeman.
The dates and places of these meet
ings, follow:
Oct. 15-16-Culbertson.
Oct. 17-18-Malta.
Oct. 19-2O-Great Falls.
Oct. 22-23-Bozeman.
Oct. 24-25-Billings.
Oct. 26-27-Miles City.
These meetings are being held suf-
ficiently in advance of the turkey
season in Montana, which
is best during December for Christ
mas and New Years tables, to give
those who attend time to hold SINH
and thus disseminate the
knowledge among all turkey farmers
of the state. County agents and
other extension workers are taking
an active part in interesting farmers
to attend the meetings.
Each of the meetings will cover
two days in order to give a thorough
demonstration in the improved prac-
Ices in killing, dressing and packing
he birds for shipment. The first day
will be given over to a demonstra-
ion of killing and picking and the
second day to instruction in packing,
allowed the birds the time
to cool.
These meetings are open to the
public who are invited to at
end but it is pointed out that they
will be given over entirely to turkey
PRACTICES and that poultry or other
owl will not be discussed.
The meetings will be in charge of
I. E. Cushman and F. S. Cooley, dir
of the Extension Service. An
tempt is being made to secure an
.pert from the eastern market, pref
rably Chicago, to attend the meet
lgs and assist with the demonstra-
ions, but no definite word has yet
cen received.

REACHING THE PUBLIC EYE AND
BAR

Never before has a president of
the United States had an opportunity
to bring to the attention of so great
a percentage of the American people
his purposes and desires as has Pre-
sident Harding on his present trip.
In addition to the ever-increasing
facilities for getting news to every
part of the country through the daily
press, his speeches are being broad
cast by radio. AS matter of fact,
every thinking and reading American
has an opportunity to digest the pre-
sident's speeches within very few
hours after they have been delivered.
The president arrived in Idaho yes
terday, sometime near the noon hour,
and before a majority of Americans
retired last night, they knew what
kind of a reception had been
rendered the chief executive by the
Gem state, what he had advocated
in his speeches and whether anything
of an inharmonious nature had oc-
CURED between the president and
state. 1t should mean much to the
American people to get the admins
tration viewpoint on the great ques-
lions confronting the nation and there |
is no doubt that it will mean some |
thing to the presidents political for |
tunes to be able to meet so great a /
number face to face and tell them of |
the things he desires and hopes to 50
as president, and to have it all
passed on by the radio or the press

ance. And at 5 cents a vehicle mile
