Clemson College, Sept.?The tw< nain purposes of poultry raisin( ire egg production and meat pro iuction. It is from these source :hat we expect to obtain our re renue. A pullet or hen is an egg machim Some of the essential factors in egl jroduction are breeding feeding an< >reeds, says N. JR. Mehrhof, Exten >ion Poultry Specialist. Breeding?Production can be in :rease materially by the selectioi ind mating of high producing fe nales and males. How are we goinj :o pick out the 'high producers? Th inly accurate method is by the usi )f trap nests, with which we ar ible to obtain individual egg re :ords. With these records on hand ve can select our befct producer ind mate with male birds from higl jroducing females. Another very satisfactory metho< s culling. Using the physical cha acteristics such as head and ad uncts, condition of vent body con 'ormation, handling qualities, moul ind pigmentation we are able t< )ick the producers from the non jroducers.
