The most economical management Of poultry requires that the dock be culled regularly to eliminate unprofitable birds. Poor layers and surplus males are a liability and should be disposed of. Weak and unhealthy blrvls Should be killed and burned or buried deeply. There are several characteristics by which the poor layers may be distinguished. They almost invariably molt early and slowly, usually during August or September. The best time to weed out unprofitable hens Is from about August 15 to about Sepor more for a laying hen and less than 1)6 Inches for nonlaser. ' - Abdomen of Layers. The abdomen of the good layer Is more expanded than that of the poor producer or nonlayer, since the eggproducing organs are larger and require more room, The abdomen of the laying hen 1s also flexible or sort because a smaller amount of fat li carried when laying, while the abdomen of the nonlajrer is contracted, and harder and less pliable. The distance from the rear end of the breastbone to the pelvic bones also varies, according to the breed, from 2*4 to 3 Inches for the good layer. A smaller distance between these bones would indicate that the hen !» not laying. When a hen is laying or nearly ready to lay, her comb and wattles are Alligator* Root Bathers Two circus alligators were thrown Into Blk river in Kansas several years ago when the show disbanded and these amphibians poked their heads into a group of bathers near Howard.

The better producers continue laying until late in the fall, and molt rapidly. Hena that have not molted by August or September will •how dirty, worn, or broken plumage, while those that have molted early show fresh, clean plumage or growing feathers at this time. Poor Layere Marked. There are other marks by which the poor layer may be picked out. The legs of hens that are naturaly yellow in such breeds as Plymouth ltocks, Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes and Leghorns are pale and faded in August •and September if they have been laylag heavily. If the legs are still yellow, the hen Is almost certainly a potr layer. The same rule applies to breeds having yellow beaks, although the color fades more quickly from the beak than from the legs. The lower part of the beak bleaches more rapidly than the upper, and may be used as the guide when the upper half is colored too much with black or horn color. The vent at a hen that Is laying heavily is large, expanded and moist, while that of a nonlayer Is small, puckered and dry. In the case of the yel- 'ow-sklnned breeds, the vent of a hen that Is laying heavily is usually white or Pink, but the vent of the nonlayer Is yellow. When a hen Is laying, the pelvic bones (the two pointed bones between which the vent Is located) are rather thin, flexible, and spread well apart When she Is not laying, they ate closer together, feel thicker, and are less flexible. The distance between the pelvic bones varies slightly In different breeds. It being usually 1% Inches plump and bright red In color. When she Is not laying, her comb Is shrunken, pare or dull in color, comparatively hard, and covered with whitish scales. A dark or bluish color usually Indicates sickness. The poultry raiser should not only call the entire flock yearly, but should always be on the watch for birds that are sick or very thin in flesh, or that show signs of weakness or poor vitality. When such are discovered, they should be culled out Immediately.* Fall Plowing Best Early fall plowing Is best, say farm crops division men of University Farm, St. Paul, Minn., because-- It gives a longer period for the decomposition of stubble and other vegetable matter turned over In plowing. It opens the soil to the fall rains. It helps to eradicate weedB which Interfere with growth of crops. It lessens the amount of spring work and permits of the prompt sowing of the crops In the spring. It also lessens crowding and rushing times on the farm, and therefore Is beneficial both t* men and horses. Pertinent Question The stock keeper without a silo would do well to ask himself this question: Are all the agricultural colleges and experiment stations mistaken when they advocate the silo? Are one-half million of our best stock farmers In every county in every state of the Union making a mistake by using the silo 7 Is It not good business to borrow money to Invest in an equipment which will pay from 50 to 100 per cent Interest on the Investment? ESTABLISHMENT OF GRADES OF * * HAY OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES Government Favored Basis on Nutritive Values. the government recommended the establishment of grades of hay of different kinds on the basis of the nutritive values, hay Is no longer Just hay in the markets of the country. The reasons for the grading of hay are Just the same as those for the grading of any other commodity, says .JJ\ H. Stelnmetz of the Minnesota agricultural experiment station staff, In jcharge of laboratory tests to aid la fixing hay grades. Feed men wish to know how a shipiment of hay is rated in order to be able to advertise and sell intelligently. Buyers wish to know what they are --getting In kind, quality, and condition. " For example, alfalfa No. 1 is superior in feeding value and palatabillty to alfalfa No. 2. If a purchaser bought alfalfa No. 2 thinking It was No. 1, and there were no established grades, he would have no recourse. With grades established, however, he would have a chance to recover--If Us purchase had been represented sa No. 1 when It was really No. 2. The same holds true ss to prairie hays, among which grades have now been established. The nutritive value of the hay Itself, though, is not the only thing. Hay is frequently mixed with weeds and other foreign materials. Dealers and consumers should be able to know within reasonable limits how much such material any given lot contains Weeds are objectionable because they are ordinarily unpalpatable and cause mechanical waste, as animals will not sort out the good hay from the bad weeds. Moreover, there are some weeds which cause losses among live stock. Hay grades are, therefore, highly desirable, says Mr. Stelnmetz, and their use is to be encouraged in every way possible. "I Am a Beautiful Exquisite Bird." **I white and I am beautiful." •aid tiie Rhea. "Everyone knows that." "I am gray and I am beautiful,** said Mrs. Ostrich. "I am black and I am beautiful," said Mr. Ostrich. "All of you, or rather both of you, are very stupid. You have to copy me. Yon can think of nothing new to aay for yourselves. "Of course," the Rhea added. "I can think of no better creature for yon to copy. , "If you cant think cf anything new to say or do, It is well that yon copy me." "You don't like yourself much, do yon?" asked Mrs. Ostrich, In a rather sharp and cross tone of voice. The Rlfea didn't notice the ton® of voice. "You" are mistaken," said the Rhea, "I do like myself a great deal." At that foth ostriches laughed hard, for they knew full well that the Rhea was very fond of himself. "You see," said the Rhea, "I am far more superior than you are. "It Is hard for me to live a long time. I am delicate and line and dainty. I am a beautiful, exquisite bird, bnt not such a strong one, especially when away from my own native land." "You had better not boast so much, for you are like us, only yon are small* er," stid Mrs. Ostrich. "We are far bigger than yon are, you poor, poor little dear." "What care I for size?" asked the Rhea. "I know I am only a little more than half your stse, but I have truly beautiful feathers. "To be sure, I am an ostrich. One of my family names Is the noble one of Rhea, but our other name is that of South American Ostrich. "That is the family to which we belong. "I come from Sooth America, as the family name tells yon, if yon dent know It anyway. "You come from Africa. That makes I difference, I suppose. At least it does In our case. Whether it is because I am South American and yon are African I do not know. "But I do know that I am smaller and that I do come from South America. "My neck la Jong like yours and so are my legs. "My body is covered with beautiful feathers and I am most certainly a cousin of yours. "But at the same time I cannot help admiring myself for I am supposed to be handsome. "Not only am I supposed to bs handsome but I am handsome." "Well, we won't argue the matter," said Mr. Ostrich, "for I am sleepy and I would like to doze In the sunshine^ "That would te a far more pleasant thing to do than to argue the point" "I would like to doze In the sunshine, too," said Mrs. Ostrich. "And I also think that would be a far more pleasant thing to do than to discuss size or beauty. "Particularly now Hons are all settled the Rhea." "It sounds like a nice Idea to me, too," said the Rhea. "Ah, you're my cousins, all right," he added. "We're all a lazy, stupid sort of family." The o s t r i c h e s did not object to this remark In the least. instead they ail went to sleep and d e p t s o u n d l y , , dreaming of their homes In South America and Africa, where tbey had been born, and of the warm sunshine that was also to be found In North America.
