1092 Pullet or Hen. Which? 
87i As I understand, the American Poultry 
t*?? Association defines a pullet a female of 
I 2 it the (lallime tribe under 12 months of age. 
1050 The period or time of molt would have 
1048 nothing to do with it, for it varies with 
climate and conditions under which full 
iui sisters might be kept.

1162 In the case of early hatched pullets that 
9j2 molt when they are nine or 10 months 
1042 ol(, > T should consider that for all pvac- 
1131 tiejil purposes they were yearlings when 
JJ63 they begin their second laying, and have 
943 so classified our Leghorn breeders when 
966 they were JO or 12 months old. Later 
io8< hatched pullets which commence laying 
1046 hate in the Fall and do not molt until the 
K 87 following Hummer might be classed as 
892 pullets until they are at least a year old, 
[oil or until (hey molt. It is hard to draw a 
*™ 8 sharp line, but it is my opinion that a 
r,o 2 bird that goes through a full molt passes 
Hat from the pullet stage to that of a heu, 
Jigp regardless of her age in months.

902 I consider a bird a pullet until she ba3 
§?,? gone through her first molt. She may do 
927 this at eight months, or not until she is 
1162 18 months old. After she has molted she 
takes on yearling, characteristics, added 
ills weight, slight coarseness of appearance, 
1099 and, above all, marked increase iu size of 
loos egg laid, as a rule. She is then, in my 
opinion, just, as strong a breeder, wheth¬ 
er the molt comes after two or three 
months' laying, or after 12 months' pro¬ 
duction. C. T. DABBY. 
New Jersey. 
My understanding is that she is a pul¬ 
let until she completes her first year of 
laying and goes into a full molt. An 
exception which I think might well be 
made is in the ease of very early batched 
birds. Pallets hatched in February or 
early March will go through a slight molt 
in November or December (I am speak¬ 
ing of Leghorns), and will stop laying 
for a few weeks; then, if properly ban¬ 
died, will resume laying and be in good 
condition to use for breeders, so that I 
see no reason why such birds should not 
be called bens at the conclusion of this 
first molt. But to avoid any possible 
misunderstanding, I call them “early 
hatched pullets.” I think a hen is a 
yearling when she begins her second lay¬ 
ing. J. w. uo ltcueb. 
New .Jersey. 
A bird is a pullet until she goes into a 
molt after her first year of laying. Strict¬ 
ly speaking, 1 suppose a lion is a year¬ 
ling hen after she is ottl* year old, but 
that is not what is meant in the ordinary 
classification of poultry kjbicup ukos. 
New York. 
I should say that a pullet should be 
classed as such until she is a year old, 
and the reason is that until pullets are 
over one year old they are not good 
breeders, or tit to breed from, having 
tested this out year after year. We 
breed only from two and three-year-old 
hens for that reason. J. u. WILSON.

Sure “Cures” for Blackhead 
I have a turkey hen that developed 
blackhead. TYc decided to give the fluid 
extract of ipecac, but on telling the drug¬ 
gist what it was for lie told rue that one 
dose of this would kill a turkey. A short 
time ago nu inquiry concerning blackhead 
appeared In The it. N.-Y. in which the 
correspondent had given the fluid extract 
of ipecac and her birds all died. Is it 
possible that tincture of ipecac is meant, 
as there is a wide difference between the 
two? Three years ago 1 knew of several 
cures of blackhead through the use of 
calomel and castor oil, SO used that rem¬ 
edy on my turkey. She. was given one- 
quarter grain of calomel lu one teaspoon 
castor oil every night for three nights, 
and we also used syrup of ipecac in one- 
half teaspoon doses,, giving it according 
to directions for giving fluid extract. Of 
course this was purely guess work, but 
the turkey made a quick recovery and 
lias apparently been all right for 10 days 
now. I pin a good deal of faith to the 
calomel and castor oil as a remedy, and 
would not hesitate to use it for six doses. 
Idaho. mbs. N. P. Y. 
The Animal Industry Department of 
the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture also advocates the use of calomel and 
castor oil for blackhead in turkeys, 
though the dose they advocate is three 
times that given by Mrs. N. P. Y. Calo¬ 
mel is almost a specific cure for liver
