One who has at flock, one-third of whose members are not paying board ers, must expect to have his profits cut down one-third. The intelligent culling of the poultry flock is of ut most, importanct for success in poul try keeping. Culling serves three p~urp~oses, say Poultry spetcialists of the Uniitedl states Deopartment of Ag riculturie. Firist, it increasse the pro0 P IN I rer what we 10Ow you in xt time you ( wn.

Second, it makes it possible to save those best mited for breederi, both on account of .heir better production and on account ,f their superior strength and vital ity. which have enabled them to stand up under the severe strain of heavy laying. Third, weeding out the poor hen gives those left more room and a better chance. Culling should be continuous throughout the year. This continuous culling shouldl cause to be weeded out, when dIiscovered, any hen that is sick, very thin, or shows evidlences of non prodluctionl, weakness, 0or poor vitality. The wvhole flock should also be given a careful andl systematic culling at least once (luring the year. When a single systematic culling is madle, the best time to (do it is i nthie early fall. The henis should be handled indiv idual ly and gone over carefu!ly, with the object of dlividling them into two( lots, one the beter pi oducers and the other the poor1 prodlucers. Leg-band those in the better class andl market those selected as the poor' producers. Animial F~eed Needed Mainy small poultry keepers, wvhile accep)ting the purchase of grain as a pa~rt andl parcel (of poultry keeping, seem) to feel that animal feed, wvhether green cut bone, meat scraps, or' animal mleni, is a kindi of iuxury that can be dIispensedl with; but if a poultry man is to get the best results from his fowvls in winter, he must furnish this kind of feed. Green cut bone is us ually fed by itself, while the scrap aind meal may he readlily mixed wvith the rationi. Cut bone consist of green or fresh hone, sliced or shiavedl into thin pieces, but beef bones fresh from the butchers have more or less matter ad hering to them, an dIthe more (If such matter' the better, for the combination of bone and1( meat is excellent for pro ducing eggs. Green cut bone should be fed carefully and in a sweet condi tion, otherwise bowvel trouble may r'e suilt. One pound1( a (lay is sufficient for 25 hens, but not over one-half p)ounfd should be fed to that number when first beginning to feed it. The mash for laying lhens should contain from 18 to 20 per cent of meat scrape; that Is, 1 poundit of meat scraps in 5 or 6 poundls of mash. After the fowls have becomo accustomed to animal nmeal or meat scraplls, it may be kept constantly before them. E'xperiments made on the Govermitent p)oultry farm at Belts ville have shown that a flock of hens fed some form of animal feed will pro duice 50 per cent more eggs than the same flock or another which is not fed any meat scr'aps. Candling Eggs. One of the bad practices that have growvn up with the selling of eggs has been what is known as the "loss-of1'" basis or "case count." That is, the egg huckster or storekeeper pays for the eggs hie buys from the farmer regard( less of the quality. ft must be recog nizedl by every one that dlealer's who ,lbuy eggs "straight count" pay for a ; mbmhim whic~h nr lnate thrown QUL Ut any friends, patrons and ger reased with cash capital.

He pays a low enough price so that lie can have a number of eggs thrown out and still make a profit. The poultry man who is in the poultry business for profits handles his eggs properly and markets them while they are strictly fresh, so that he sells and demands quality prices for his quality eggs. By providing plen ty of nests, so hens do not steal their nests; by gathering the eggs twice a a day in suimiIer and once in winter, and markerting them very frequent ly, lhe keeps dlown the percentage ol loss.
