The hack should be wide Its entire •rngth ar.d oomparallvrly , free r r°* » It slopes sharply to Ike rear or the hack taper* at tke rear. It indlcatm small capacity- Th. breast should lie full, deep and prominent, neck fairly short, I<t* of moderate length and •hanks fl.i rather than round. The keci bone should be long and straight.Thc body should be deep, the deeper the bettor the bird, measured from middle of the back to the rear of the ksel. The Body Chang* Dne to Laying The laying hen ha* a large, wide motet rent; a non-layer ha* a small, dry. puckered vent. Tho abdomen U large, pelvic arch spread and the ked forced down.' The actual site of abdomen is Influenced by else of bird, length of keel, the *l*o and quantity of c-ggs to bo laid. A sagging abdomen I*

undesirable.

mansg-ment, feed,

skin and sise of bird. Change* occur in following order: The vent quickly change* with egg product for. while or pink rent of yellow skin bird denotes laying, while yellow vent means not laying. The eye. rings and the Inner #dge of th* eyelid* bleach slower than the vent. The earlobes of Leghorn* And Ancons* bleach still efawer. The teak loses color Bret at the base and gradually disappear. On the average a bleached bosk means production for at lea*t preceding four to six week* The shaoks are tbs last to lose color. If bleached. It indicates a long period of production for at least fifteen to twenty weeks. The yellow color goee first from the scale* on the 'root of the shanks, that, front the scales In the rear, and those on the top of toe* are

the last to bleach out.

The Molting

of a bird Msoally denote: she has

niopped faying Is summer. A late molter is a late layer and a high producer. 1 ue length of time that a hen has been molting or tho time since she Mopped faying may be determined by molting of the primary feather*. It takes about four to six weeks to renew comblotcly the primary feather next to the axial feather. The remaining primary feather* are usually dropped in order, at Interval* of one to twef weeks, a high producer frequently molt* several Primary feathers at one time and In such cases should be coRSldered

a* one feather, wheii ct length of time the bird

molting.

Temperament aad Activity A good layer la active. Intel-

ligent. friendly and more easily handled than a poor layer. The

fatter bird Is usually shy. flighty

and Inclined to stay on the edge

of the flock.

In conclusion we desire to the method Is an easy one learn and with practice you readily coll your flock suec

fully.
