SELECTING THE HEA VY LA YERS FROM EXTERNAL INDICATIONS I Trap Nesti Has Revealed Characteristics That Fur nish Key to Prolificness Certain Signs Are More Noticeable at Different Periods of the Year By Cliarlcs I<. Oppcrman Poultry Husbandman, Maryland Agri- i cultural Experiment Station j j The trap nest lias brought to light many interesting and valuable facts as regards the correlation between external characteristics and possible ; production. These facts nre of greut 1 value to tlie poultry-keeper Ir> is not in a position to trap his birds, I since a knowledge of them may cn ! able him to select tlie highest pro- ' ! dnccrs and thereby increase the ef- i ' ticiency of his llock. I Until recent years the general j j shape and conformation of u layer | < was considered of special value in de- j j terminlng the probable production of j ; the bird. Even at the present time ' i there are quite a number of breed- ) ers who hold that these external : characteristics are of much value in ! selecting high-producing hens. Ac- i cording to the standard that has been j devised for this selection, the ideal I bird must be wedged or V-shaped j ; when viewed from the top, side and ! rear. From the top view the back ' | should form the wide end of the V; | 1 the side view should show the wide end at the rear; and the rear view | the same as the side. When a bird i conforms to this V-shai>ed type the I supposition is that the abdominal re gions. where the organs of reproduc tion are located, ar well developed, thus making possible high produc ] tion. Other points of importance in se- I lecting by conformation and type are, Urst. length of body. In the ideal hird the body should be long so that WHITE POLISH || . , This Is a variety of a race of fowls | more than a hundred years old. They i were first known as the Crested j Dutch, and It la probable that they ; came from Italy to the Netherlands, whence they were gradually distrib uted over Europe and to-^Cmerica. They became known as folanri fowls, probably due to the belief that their origin was in that country. This I name.was used together with Polish, until 1850, when they came into gen- ' eral public facor under the latter nime. Polish fowl* have always had a limited number of admirers, though '■ they attract much attention in the poultry exhibitions because of their i immense crests. They have not, how- j ever, attained wide popularity prob-1 Railroad War Relief Branch Organized at Mifflintown MilYlfntown, Pa., May 19.—0n Monday afternoon the Pennsylvania railroad war relief branch was or ganized here by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Esterline, of Altoona.

Early layers and I .ate Molters The pullets that begin to lay oarly in life, say from November 1 up to Thanksgiving, In the majority , of cases turn out to be good pro ducers. In a test conducted by the | writej - . 100 per cent, of the pullets j producing two hundred or more eggs i laid their first egg during November, i In the same experiment practically I 50 per cent, of the pullets which laid I less than one hundred eggs, did not ! lay their first egg until January, and j over 20 per cent, of them laid their I first egg during February and March. ] These figures are from trap-nest rec i ords of the birds and clearly indicate | that the early producer is the heavy j layer. | The practical lesson to be gained j from these figures is that the pro ! gressive poultry-keeper who is not in a position to trap his birds, will ' watch his pullets in the fall and j mark the early producers so that he ! will be able to pick them out the ' following year for the breeding pen. | Such a practice does not necessarily mean that all the birds he selects will lay two hundred or more eggs, but it is logical to assume that the majority of them will be good per formers. Early production Is not the only Indication that the poultry-keeper should rely on in the selection of good layers. It is but one of several i | ably because of the lack of certain economic qualities. The first of several varieties of I Polish was the White Crested Black. From these the Dutch breeders orig inated all the other varieties, Includ , ing the subject of the accompanying j illustration, the Wh/te Polish. They have immense crests, the larger the better, provided they are rouncl and j full. In size and shape they are much like the White Leghorn, but have blue or white legs ai(i white skin. They are gentle and thrive well in limited quarters, provided the soil Is dry and the fowls are kept away j from dampness. The hens lay large 1 numbers of white-shelled eggs and are considered nonsitters. The chicks are rather delicate unless thev are kept dry. Dampness Is fatal to I young Polish.

All early layers that are marked can be observed to deter mine whether they molt early or late. Trap-nest records show that the high performers usually molt late. The writer recalls an incident of a 250-egg hen that did not molt un til cold winter weather set in. She shed her feathers so rapidly that it was necessary to keep her in a fair ly warm room to protect her from the cold. The boarder hens usually have a new coat of feathers and look like the finest birds in the flock when the hard-working layers are ragged and covered with pin-feathers. Ap pearances in this instance do not count for much, since the worst looking hens are quite apt to be the most profitable. Observations made in connection with trap-nest records showed that none of the birds which were half through the molt by October 1 were good producers, also that only a small percentage of the late molters do not begin laying until late in the following year. Actual records, how ever, do not substantiate this belief, since they show that the late molters molt quickly and begin to lay as soon as the early molters, or sooner. Big Knters Arc Heavy Layers The appetite and general actions ot a hen indicate her ability to lay a goodly number of eggs. The hard working hen is almost always a high producer. She is first off the roost In the morning and last to go to bed. She is a heavj' feede since high pro ductiveness necessitates the ability to assimilate large quantities of food. The poor layer is generally of the opposite type. She is inactive, a rel atively eater, and spends a large portion of her time on the perches or in the da/sened portions of the pen. Palo Shanks and Kar-lobca In practically all yellow-skinned varieties of poultry the shanks, beak and region around the vent undergo a change In color when the hens are in heavy laying. Instead of the rich yellow color that Is associated with these parts in the yellow-skinned va rieties, there is a rapid fading of col or in the regions mentioned during heavy production. This change of color is so consistent that it is pos sible to use it as a basis for selecting good and poor producers. From va rious observations recently made along these lines, the following in teresting correlations have been noted: The color of the vent appears to be the most accurate indication of producing ability. Records made from 371 birds from November 1, 1014, to October 31, 1915, show 98 of the birds had pale vents at the end of October when the records were made. Over o per cent, of these 98 birds produced from 140 to 260 eggs, and only 8 per cent, of them laid less than 140 eggs. The average production of the 273 re maining hens, which had yellow vents wlien the observations were taken, was approximately 135 eggs, anil the average for the 98 having pale vents was 191 eggs. This gives a difference of 56 eggs per bird in favor of the pale vents. In the test there were several dif ferent breeds and it is interesting to compare the production of the va rious breeds as shown by the color of the vent. In the Plymouth Rock group 83.6 per cent, of the birds hav ing pale vents laid from 140 to 260 eggs; 16.4 per cent, of the birds showing pale vents produced 140 eggs or less; 70 per cent, of the hens having yellow vents laid from 0 to 140 eggs. The average production of the Rocks having yellow vents was 119.3 eggs, whereas the average for those having pale vents was 176.3. Of the 98 Wyandottes 53 had "pale yents and over 70 per cent, of these produced from 140 to 200 eggs. The average production for the pale and >ellow vents was 167.2 for the former and 140.8 for the latter. The. average production of the Rhode Island Keds having pale vents was 171.11, while for the birds of the same breed with yellow vents the average yield dropped to 128 eggs. While practically all of the above observations are based on the color of the vent, the reader must not lose sight of the fact that this same varia tion is manifested in the shanks and boaks of yellow-skinned varieties. In other words, the rich yellow color of these parts seems to fade out with DEDICATION OF LEE STATUE ON GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD Monument in Memory of Confederate Commander to lie Unveiled; Southern Veterans and Cadets to Attend Ceremonies on June 8 Gettysburg, Pa., May 19.—Accord ing to statements of Colonel H.
