August is Best Time
To Gull LOdfing Hens.

Catch the loafers with the goods
Cora Cooke, extension poultry specialist
at University Farm. With feed prices
rising and egg prices still only slightly
higher, this is no time to make the
good layers shoulder all the feed bills
At present prices 100 hens must lay
approximately 40 eggs daily just to keep
the feed bills paid. Fifty to sixty per
cent laying is necessary to earn any
profit. Fully one-third of the hens
can be culled from most flocks now
without reducing the daily egg-lay.
"Culling need not be long tiresome
task. The early culling can be done
merely by taking the loafers of the
roosts at night or picking them OFF
the floor by means of a wire catching
hook. The culls are easy to recognize
in early summer. Their combs are
Shrunken and the beaks are beginning
to turn yellow at the base. They may
be yellow to the tip. If beak and legs
are both yellow, it indicates that the
hen has already been a boarder for
several weeks. A hen whose combs are
shrunken and whose pubic bones are
drawing together is so near through
laying that it is wise to Gull her at
once. If the pubic bones are drawn
tight together and if the vent is yellow,
she shows that she has already ceased
laying.
Every flock should, of course. be
given a thorough culling before housing
for the fall" says Miss Cooke Much
feed can be saved if this is done about
August Is. How to make culling as
easy as possible, as well as how to
Gull at all seasons, is made clear in
Minnesota Bulletin 150-"Culling for
Egg Production" This can be obtained
free from the Bulletin Office, University
Farm, st. Paul.
