"Are these hens layers or liars"
is a question which confronts every
poultry keeper when he looks over
his flock of birds just finishing their
laying year. The poultryman has
flock of pullets coming into matur-

of older birds in order to make room
for them. The pullets will lay the
fall eggs.
Which ones shall be kept over as
breeders for next spring? Quite ma
turally we will agree that those
which have laid the most eggs dur

probably lay the most eggs during
