"Farmers who sell their hfiJOf now ure disponing of them,/is a rule, Jus? when they are ready to start paying a profit. Selling a hen at this season, because she is not laying, 1b similar to feeding a milk cow through the dry period and selling her just before or soon after freshening." Mr. Gooding thinks that it Is impossible to do an Intelligent Job of culling hens at this season of the year uml that after one has fed hens this long he should surely keep them until the poor layers begin to stop laying in the spring. " "With the present price of eggs, irons will he much more profitable to keep us egg producers than to put on the market at meat prices. Then too, the extremely cold weather during January will tend to hold liens out of egg production and for this reason, egg prices are likely to renpiin good until early spring," the specialist states.
