That good looking strutter in her brand new September suit has been shying away from domestic obligations in the nest, and it is worth the price of a complete new of incubating and brooding equipment to ninety out of every one hundred farmers wives to have this barnyard vamp culled out of the flock.

That's the word that is being passed out among Indiana poultry raisers. Each matured pullet and laying hen in this county should return yearly labor income of $1.40 per layer, farm Records show, and this is practically impossible unless the poor layers and the under-sized, narrow-chested, knock-kneed flapper in this year's pullet crop, are disposed of September 15. It is the late molting hen without beauty problems to distract her that sticks close to the nest and the fact that a hen is en-cloaked in her new dress is almost sure sign that she has been a poor layer in the past year and she is not likely to. improve in the coming winter. As aid to poultry raisers in the state who would cull out the unprofitable fowls from the flocks, these suggestions are made: Cull out hens having small, hard, dried-up combs; hens unnaturally light in weight, listless persistently broody: hens having rigid or gristly pelvic bones, hooked close together; hens having fatty, hard or contracted abdomens; and hens that molt early.

Yearling or older hens in breeds having yellow leg, skin and beak color that has faded out in color pigment can also be marked down as having been poor layers and acted upon accordingly. Mrs. Kleist and daughter of South Bend spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Carl Wagner.

Rev. Theodore J. Hammes visited home folks Sunday. Joseph Hammes has returned to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to complete his theological studies. William Hartman of Fort Wayne visited at the Joseph Keller home over Sunday.
