THE CALL OF THE HEN. 33 
NOTE: The tests for type and capacity cannot be applied to 
young pullets with any degree of accuracy. These tests cannot be 
properly made until the pullet has laid at least one clutch of eggs. A 
pullet must obtain her natural shape and be fully developed before 
you really know what she is. These two tests can best be made on yearly 
Fic. 15—Four-finger abdomen. (Capacity.) A hen of very large capacity to 
consume and assimilate food. We find 220-egg hens in this class, provided they have 
the right type.
