Who Will Last in the Poultry 
Business ? 
{Continued from page 261) 
deposits of fat found . on birds fat¬ 
tened on corn are desired by this trade 
because the fat is used for culinary pur¬ 
poses. 
Grading poultry, either alive or dressed, 
is more difficult than grading eggs be¬ 
cause of the greater variety of qualities. 
Attention is given to age, sex, weight, 
toughness of flesh, color of skin, method 
of fattening and the like. No. 1 birds 
of all market classifications must be 
large, well fleshed, clean, dry picked, 
nicely dressed birds free from blemishes 
or bruise marks on the skin. Dry picked 
poultry takes preference over scalded, 
as a rule, except when it is prepared for 
local trade. 
When the mass purchasing power of 
the consuming public is as high as at 
present, the market for high quality 
poultry and eggs assumes large propor¬ 
tions. The farmer who wants more 
poultry dollars and the farmer's wife who 
looks to her flock for household expenses, 
pin money and a bank account, both will 
find quality production the “open se¬ 
same” to their goals. 
Points I Follow in Selecting My 
■*“ Breeders 
L. H. Hiscock 
I N the poultry house at this time of year 
nothing is of more importance than the 
breeding hen or breeding flock. It is right 
here where a flock of chickens makes or 
breaks the owner because a pullet raised 
from a hen and male of poor laying ability 
cannot have the capacity to lay eggs; she 
simply has not got it in her, and in spite 
of excellent care and feed, she is really 
a waste of time. 
Picking the proper hen for a breeder, 
picking the best birds in your particular 
flock, is the job ahead of us, and the 
writer wants to assure you right at the 
start that this culling or selection of the 
best you have is not such a terrible hard 
job after all. Many persons shrink at the 
mere suggestion of culling but as a matter 
of fact if we get a couple of fundamental 
principles firmly fixed in our minds and 
apply these principles to our own flock, 
while we really have not gone at it sci¬ 
entifically, yet we certainly will have gone 
a long ways toward the betterment of our 
breeding-pen. 
After all the object of this article is not 
to give a complete account of culling; far, 
far from it, for there is too much to this 
subject. What we want is a fairly sure 
and simple way of establishing the best 
birds that you and I have to breed from 
in order that these best birds may produce 
the best possible pullets, and the ones 
that are poor in laying qualities may be 
discarded as breeders.

The Differences in Hens 
Let us assume to begin with that we 
have before us two birds, the breed or 
variety of which is absolutely unessential. 
For the sake of convenience we shall call 
these two birds “A” and “B.” If we take 
“A” in our hands there are two outstand¬ 
ing characteristics absolutely opposed to 
what “B” shows. To begin with, “A” 
has a broad, flat back; “B” is rounded 
and narrow. As regards the breast-bone 
in relation to the back we find that 
“A’s” breast-bone is long with a sloping 
pitch away from the back, the farther 
away we get from the head of the bird. 
“B” has a shorter breast-bone and while 
it starts out as if to slope away from the 
back, it gradually slopes up instead of 
down so that it almost comes up to the 
sss
