CULLING POULTRY
is QUITE SIMPLE
Consider Four Points When
Picking Out Loafers

There is no mystery about Gull
ing poultry. 1t is quite simple
when done in the summer, since
the changes in the body of the lay
ing hens are more pronounced
then than at other times.
First" says w. F. Armstrong,
pOulryman at the North Carolina
state college, consider the cOndi-
tiOn of the feathers. If they are
worn, ragged and dirty, it is be-
cause the hen is worker. not
drone, and the working hen is the
heavy layer. The feathers of the
poor layer will be in good cOndi-
tion in late summer. They will be
clean and well-kept because she is
a society chicken and spends lots
of time on her appearance. The
poor layers usually get a new coat
early in the summer while the
heavy layers may not mOult until
August, September, October. No
vember or even later"
Next, points out Mr.. Armstrong,
the heavy layer does not usually
get enough yellow corn or green
feed to keep the yellow color
stored up in her body while lay
ing; so, her skin and shanks bleach
out and become white. This yel-
low pigment is taken from the body
and put into the yOlk of the egg
to color it. The poor layer does
not call so heavily on this reserve
supply and therefore maintains her
natural yellow skin and shankS.
The poor layer is fat and the
good layer is usually rather thin.
The latter does not have time to
store up a supply of surplus fat.
The fourth point Is the body
measurements. When laying, the
hens body expands because more
room is needed to consume more
feed and manufacture eggs. The
poor layer will most likely be out
of lay in late summer and will have
smaller measurements than the
one which is producing. Measure
by the width of the hand and the
fingers from the rear end of the
breast bone to the pubic bones
and then between the arch of the
pubic bones, says Mr.. Armstrong.
The best layers have the greater
distance between these bones.

Management of Turkeys
Not Well Understood

Turkey management problems are
probably as little understood by the
average poultryman as are any of
the problems connected with any of
the domestic fowls. This is espe-
cially true from the time the pOults
are hatcheG until they reach a mar
ketable age. during which time they
must be carried through the sum-
mer in a manner that will enable
them TO reach the market in IA
vorable season.
The first problem is that of brood
ing the poults. Many investiga-
tors have found that turkeys can
be raised with greater success in
confinement than on unlimited
range, especially where chickens
have been raised on the same farm.
Chickens are susceptible to the
cecum worm. which is host to the
blackhead germ, which, in turn, is
the greatest single cause of turkey
losses. Because of this good man.
agement demands that poults be
raised on fresh ground and away
from old turkey or chicken yards
or runs.
The Nebraska station gives some
very valuable pointers on turkey
production. POults will thrtive best
if not overcrowded. One square
foot of brooder space per poult
is recommended. Units of over 100
are not recommended except for
those who have had considerable
brooding experience.

Mothers Only Wages the
Love of Her Children

This is the age of medals. A
man without q medal of some sort
is a misnOmer. If a boy fly across
the ocean, we give him a medal.
If a sprinter run faster than any
other human, we strike off a medal
If a patriot bare his breast to the
bullets of the enemy, we cover his
coat with medals. Pay is too
paltry for heroes.
But what pay does mother get?
She tolls day and night without re-
ward. Her work is never done.
And at that it is the only work in
the world that does not have the
wages.

gia lived a poor widow. She had a

Baby Chicks Double in
Size in First Few DAYS

Baby chicks do a lot of growing
in the first four weeks of their
lives. H. L. Shrader, extension
poultryman in the United States
Department of Agriculture, says
they double in size in the first two
weeks. Not satisfied with such
record. they double in size again
in the next two weeks, if they get
the right kind of attention.
Two essentials for success in
rearing baby chicks. Mr.. Shrader
explains, are plenty of heat and
feed. A good rule to follow in
feeding chicks, he says, is to pro-
vide a hopper feet long for each
100 chicks. At the end of three
weeks another hopper should be
added.

All Nations
Pay Tribute
to "Mother''

Mothers day is the one day in
the year when every real man or
woman, boy or girl, should pay
tribute to the best mother in the
whole world"
1t is the day when every living
mother with a son or daughter
worthy of the name will receive a
personal message from her child
and every mother who has passed
beyond will he honored by the
wearing of a flower or a Mothers
day button by the child left behind.

DAVIS Real Significance

No mother really needs to have
a day set apart in reminder of her
noble place in life. The chief
happiness it affords is the Oppor-

Court Decides
Car Was Drunk

Mrs. w. ]. Berry, pretty tourist

for reckless driving today when she
appeared before Judge I. Mayfield
on a charge OF reckless driving.
Mrs. Berry pleaded not guilty to
the charge. III her trial she testi-
fled that she was not drunk when
arrested. State traffic officers tes-
titled she was. Poor adjustment OF
the steering apparatus caused the
automobile she was criving to weave
from side to side, testified Mrs.
Berry's husband. To a casual obser-
yer, he said it might appear that
the driver was drunk.
Judge Mayfield ruled that, al
though the driver might not have
been intoxicated, the condition OF
the car was such that it amounted
to the same thing. In other words,
said Judge Mayfield, the automo-
bile was intoxicated. So he fined
