As soon as the spring spurt in egg pro- duction commences to lesson there are cer tain hens in every flock that should be culled out and marketed. The sooner they are gotten rid of, the bigger will be the flock profits. Labor is reduced, feed are lowered and the profitable birds are given more room in the laying house and on the range. Poultry, also should sell for more money per pound in the early part of the summer than later, so there is a material gain in disposing of the non- productive birds. One of the simplest ways to cull the flock is to go over the birds when they roost at night. Pick out those with shrivelled, rough combs and shrunken, hard abdo.nens, A bird with a large amount of hard fat around the ab-, domen is not in laying c ndition. Ontario usually has about four and one half million acres of hay crops each year. In passing across the province just before haying one cannot help feeling that many of these acres are not paying the taxes and the cost of handling the crop. Statis- tical reports indicate an average yield of only one and one-half tons to the acre and this can certainly be much improved up- on, For the meadows, good drainage and sweet soil are very important, Roots of grasses and clovers are slow to penetrate wet soils and wherever there is a surplus of water on the soil. air is shut out and hence the bacterial iife is either weakened or killed. Another point in meadow im- provement is the use of high quality seed. If poor seed is used the meadow starts out with a handicap. Good drainage, good seed, and a liberal supply of suit. able fertilizer make profitable meadows.
