LIVESTOCK NOTES


II is high time that the poultry
breeding pens were selected and sep
arated from the rest of the flock if the
best results are to be secured from
the flock next winter when egg prices
will be high. Profitable winter pro
duction depends to a very large eX-
tent on early Matching of eggs from
selected hens. as winter eggs come
principally from pullets and pullets
will not lay in winter il they are not
Matched reasonably early.
What to do-Select as many OF the
best hens as will be needed to produce
sufficient eggs for Matching. Do it
now. Separate these hens from
the rest of the flock and
place with them the best male birds
obtainable, early Matched cockerels
with plenty of vitality and pep" 1t
is better not to use pullets for the
production of Matching eggs as the
chicks will not be as strong as those
from hens. Eggs should be fertile
within two weeks after the male birds
have been placed with the hens.
Hatchability decreases very rapidly
after the eggs are a week old so that
they should be set as soon as pracu-
cable after they are laid. Matching
should be done in March for all of
the medium and heavy breeds and not
later than the middle of April for the
light breeds II pullets are to begin lay
ing before cold weather next fall as
they should.
