cow Develop Unevenly

Dairy cows grow unevenly. Recent
tests in Missouri show that the first
squirt Of development comes before
birth. at the age OF five or six months.
The second squirt begins two months
before birth and ends four end half
months after birth. The third spurt
begins at about year after birth and
ends twenty-six months after birth. To
cash in on these facts, feed an album
dance when growth Is naturally most
rapid.

Culling Poultry
Big Money Saver
Fowls Should Have Plenty
of Mash and Green Feed
and Be Vermin Free.

Although the poultryman should d
some culling every month in the year
II he can make but one culling, the
time to make II Is the first Of Sep
TENDER. say the Cornell pouItrymer
who give some practical cullIng rules
They declare that culllng out the poor
producers from the flock is the easiest
and the quickest way to save money
During the culling season. the hens
must have plenty OF mash and green
food and be free from mites; other
wise good layers may show all the
signs OF non-layers. II is also well to
keep in mind that changes Of feed,
buildings, weather. and the Ike may
bring about the appearance Of nom
laying conditions. Broody hens also
have this appearance.
Signs Of Good Producers.
Hens that have laid long and heavily
have different appearance from
those that have not. These differ-
ences are in physical appearance and
actions. The heavy producing bird is
a worker, a good feeder. Intelligent.
elusive but not Eighty. keen OF eye.
good ranger, late to bed. early to rise
The low producer is INDECENT, hIghty
and an indifferent eater, with little
activity.
In all yeilow-skinned breeds like the
Leghorns, Rocks. Reds. wyandottes.
Brahmas, and the like, It is possible
to tell by the color Of certain sec
lions Of the body whether the hens are
laying or not. A heavy layer Is flesh
color, or white. in the beak, eye ring.
ear lobe, vent and shanks. while nom
layer Is distinctly yellow. A sick hen
shows white in all sections and must
not be confused with a layer Also
some breeds have a white skin natur-
ally, and In these breeds there are no
color changes.
There are changes in form as we'll
A laying hen has a large abdomen
and the rear end Of the keel Is much
deeper than the front. She also has
well spread pelvic bones. full moist
vent, soft habhy skin, broad fat back.
while In a non-Iayer the abdomen is
small. the vent dry and puckered, the
skin thick and dry. and the back
short, narrow and arched.
Hens Molt In July.
A melting hen usually stops laying,
but in some OF the heavier breeds
they viii mott to some extent and
still lay. Leghorns usually stop lay
ing when they begin to mott. Mott
ng during the summer ls one Of the
Jest ways TO distinguish the non-layer
rom the layers. A good layer, well
managed, VIII not begin to mott until |
october or later. Hens that have
leen well cared for and are in fun
nolt by the middle Of July are not
worth keeping.
The eyeballs Of the laying hen can
'asily be seen when viewed from the
ear. the comb is bright red and full,
he beak short and curved, the face
uIi and Of fine texture. Non-layers
ave duh. embedded eyes, long straight
eaks. hard shriveled combs and fat
aces.
