The hen that has bright yellow legs bas been a low producer, or to say the least, has been resting for a long time. The legs of a heavy laying bird become almost white, although a short rest may cause some of the yellow pigmentation to come back or to be restored. In the use of this test, one must guard against the freaks in the yeltowâ€"legged breeds which are someâ€" pale in color and hard, and is usually enered with whitish scales.

One of the most important indications of the ecndition of the hen is the head. A study of its ecnformation will show many valuâ€" able points that will be substantiated by other examinations.

In the same way the practice of povitry culling enables the poultryman to se‘cct the hens which are his best layers, those which have a fair capocity for laying and also those of which it might be said that it would be throwing money away to feed except for fattening purposes. The business of poultry raising has often been a haphazard affair. The few hens that were kept would be thrown feed of indefinite quality and quantity and often provided unsuitâ€" able houses both from the stand'pdnt{ ef senitation and protection from the weather. Such concitions would make it impossible to produce profit from even the best hens. At first we learned c¢f proper houcing and the use of eggâ€" mying rations and through these we | wouold cbtain increased egg yields, but we never could get down to what may be caled efficiency in poultry raising until the poultry culling method beâ€" came thoroughly established. Pcoultry selection is based upon the conformation of the hen and herl "Pouoltry culing" is a comcarativeâ€" ly recent addition to the vocabulairy ef the poultryman. This term already mears much to the poultry industry as poultry culling has become the bost and most certain means of eliminating from poultry raising the enazmous leaks which have stood in the vay of auceess and profit. Poultry culling may be well comâ€" pared with the Babcock test of the dairyman. By the use of the Babcock fest and the scales, the dairyman has been able to eliminato the star boardâ€" e«s from his herd.

It ’ only eliminates the waste of time and money in giving proper housing and good care to hens that will} never proâ€" duce a profit. On the other hand, it stands to reason that a hen which fills all of the goodâ€"laying requirements, unless she is given the food with which to produce egge and a house in which to live that is sanitary and protects her from the elements, canâ€" not do her full duty. During the summer when the hens have opporturity to pick their Hving, care should be taken to give them suftâ€" ficient extra feed to keep them in good shape. Egg production very freqwentâ€" ly falls off during the summer, beâ€" cause the hens are not getting suffiâ€" cient feed to maintain their bodies and produce eggs. An examination of many farm flocks would show that the hens are too thin to even be called Easy Way to Mix Bordeaux: grin and nothing to lose. Whereas, by the old method he is virtually throwing money to the winds when he is feeding a lot of hens that produce logses instead of profits. There is every reason why the farmer who raises hens, and the most of them do, should become acquainted with this method of poultry selection. In practicing it he has everything to General observations will help much in selecting a productive hen. A busy happy, singing hen is usually a proâ€" ductive one, and ome which moults late is one which will usually fill the egg basket. Early moulters usually take a great part of the season to do Acir moulting and will not be productive until the next spring. On the other hand, late moulters have undoubtedly been busy in egg production during the summer, therefore have put their moviting off until fall. They usually moult quickly and start laying again when egg prices are up. _ Many farmers have gent their most productive hens to the market at the time they cull them out in early fall. The usual practice has been to save the best looking hens and to market those which may look somewhat straggly. A hen that has been active in egg production is usually not in the best physical condition, because egg production is a great strain. Her feaâ€" thers may not be as handsome as those of the hen that has been a star boarder, but she gets results. In this respect we can fitly recall the expresâ€" wion, "Fine feathers do not always miake fine birds." ity can easily be made with the left hand. The right leg should be free, as otherwige a cramped condition of the abdomen may result and a proper determination could not be made.

That there may be no practically such is not the case. There is a bad tendency among pickers to let the fruit fall into the receptacle, and this is one of the many ways by which a great deal of fruit is injured during the picking operations. Bags allow the fruit to be damaged by not protecting it against bruising when coming in contact with the ladder or tree. When bottomless bags are used the pickers will oftem let the fruit shoot into the barrel with a great deal of force, thus causing a great deal of damage to the fruit. The receptacle selected for picking should prevent all bruising, as far as possible, and should give ease in handâ€" ling.

Long afterward we know that he was reconciled to Mark, end that Mark was with him in his Roman prison (Col. 4: 10 and 2 Tim. 4: 11).
