Culling the Flock
se Culling of the flock need not be
'lett far any particular season, There
should really be a constant culling out
of inferior, off -type, nun -productive
hens: It does not require an expert
to take out some of the hens, but to
pick out those that are not laying and
are not likely_to lay for some time
requires a little experience. One of
the losses on tite farm conies from
failure to get rid of birds or animals
that are not paying fortheir feed.
'!'hey are carried on in ths'e hope they
will do better, However, one is bet-
ter to get the market value for such
individuals rather than crowding up
the peee and making it more difficult
for the really good birds to show a
profit,
,4t the end of the breeching season
the cockerels 'should be marketed
They are of net further nee until the
next brrrdintg season, and it is only
the very best that it would pay 1'
carry over to use as two -year -odds. At
the price of cockerels in the fall it
ecerce.y pays to carry over the aver-
age male bird for the second' breed-
ing season.

'When soybeans are planted either
in rows or broadcast it has been
found advisable to give the field a
light strike with the harrow soon af-
ter the beans are up. If the soil has
a tendency to puddle or crust after a
rain this should be done sooner to
allow the beans to bet through the
hard cruet. This harrowing should . be
come either ,straight or diagonally
across the rows. The results of this
practice are the loosening of the soil
to allow the beans to get up, the con-
trol of weeds which may have started,
and the thinning of the stand of
plants to normal which 234 to 3inc'hes

by three or -four cultivations between
