) CULLING THE FLOCK
At this time of the year when
eggs are high a great many people
lose patience with their flocks be
cause they do not lay. Very often
they decide that the hens aie no
good and sell them just before they
are ready to begin laying. Of course
this is' usually a mistake since the
hens have been fed at a loss through
the molting season and if picked up
and sold just prior to the heavy
spring laying season there is no
chance to recover the loss in feed
ing through the molting season.
This does not mean that the
flocks should not be culled at this
season. In fact now is the very best
time to select the weakest birds in
the young flock especially and they
should certainly be taken out and
sold or used at home. Pullets hatch
ed prior to the first of May should
be sufficiently matured by this time
to begin laying, and if they are not
in laying condition it is usually be
causes they have not been propeily
fed or because they are infested
with parasites. In either case if an
early spring hatched pullet is not
pretty well grown out by this time
she will not likely make a profita
ble hen, so she should be taken out
of the flock.
A very common misconception is
that the hens are too fat to lay. It
is very seldom they get too fat dur
ing winter to lay. In fact a hen is
not going to begin laying until she
does become fat. The thing to do
if a fat flock is not laying is to
check up on the feed and see if tne
ration is balanced. It may be that
the flock is getting too much fat
tening feed and not enough protein
to produce eggs. Cut down on the
grain feed a little and induce them
to eat more mash. Cutting out the
morning feed of grain and substi
tuting a good feed of warm moist
mash will usually start, a flock that
is “too fat” into laying. Keep mash
feed before them at all times, also
oyster shell.
When these things are done if
green feed is supplied also and no
eggs are laid then it is time to do
heavy culling. Every flock that has
not been culled previously this year
should be gone over between now
and hte first of February. No hens
should be allowed in the breeding
flock that has any physical defects
such as crocked breast bones, broken
or otherwise deformed pelvic bones,
crocked tails, deformed feet or any
other defect that might be trans
mitted to the offspring. Take out
all that are off colored also.
Male birds should be culled even
more carefully than hens of color
markings and type characteristics
are to be kept up. Every male bird
kept should be very masculine in
appearance, true to color, should
show plenty of body capacity and a
good strong bone. If only first class
male birds are kept and bred to well
selected hens it is surprising what
a great improvement can be made
in the appearance and real value .of 1
the flock in just a year or two.

WOMEN NOW EARN THEIR
OWN LIVING. PROFESSIONS
CLAIM A LARGE NUMBER
Nearly 10,000,000 American
women earn their own living as
compared to 35,000,000 men. It is
significant that the professions are
claiming more women while domestic
service is losing them. More than
a million are now engaged in profes
sions and the number of domestics
has dropped from 2,000,000 in 1900
to half that number today.
The female invasion of various
fields is shown in the, following fig
ures :
2,000,000 factory workers.
1,500,000 clerks and stenographers.
1,000,000 farmers, (180,000 own
ers, 73,000 tenants and 770 man
agers) .
640,000 teachers (85 per cent of
the total).
180,000 federal government em
ployees (almost half of the 60,000
U. S. workers at Washington are
women).
20,000 artists, sculptors and other
art workers.
19,000 accountants and auditors.
17,200 hotel and boarding house
owners and managers.
14,000 insurane and real estate
saleswomen.
10,000 manufacturers.
10,000 journalists and other wri
ters.
7,000 bankers and brokers.
3,000 lawyers, (6,000 other wom
en studying law).
