In evert the light classes many of this age ought to go. Others that are laying but that are not worth keeping for another year should be kept until the egg yield does not pay for the feed. Better still keep culling out those that show signs of early moulting as you go a- long. The best of the one and two- year -olds of ,the lightest breeds might pay to keep all summer but only the year-olds should be kept over winter and even these will stand culling fairly closely. If broilers are early. it pays best to soli the cockerels when two or three pa,unfls ie weight rather than to keep till heavier. This is especially so when the sexes cannot be separated, and a where the runs are small, the pullets will soon. require all the room and green feed available. Light breed cockerels should be sold early ;• it seldom paps 1 to feed them t to maturity. Don't leave the marketing of all rnaetets till late in the fail. Distribute this sale over as long a period as possi- ble. Never market without finishing. v Delightfully cool on the Great Lakes.
