Tier first topic was “Good Breeding Stock’’ and she impre i sed upon prcg.Mi; the necessity of-starting right if one is to succeed in the poultry business. Demonstrations were then given as to culling, both laying hens and culls being used in this demonstration. Those present were hown the art of culling in order that they might weed out the boarders in their flocks and retain only the producers. Another matter of interet was the selection of the eggs for the incuba tor or mother hen. The care and feeding of the baby chicks was gone into fully and much valuable, infor mation gained on this pomfc AlisS Neeley had placed upon the walls of the building large pictures of the various breeds of chickens and the proper houses to be used.
