assisted in any other way.
Your thoughtfulness will al-
ways be remembered. May
God bless each of you.

COULDN’T DO THAT!
A young man told a doc-
tor that his sleep was being
bothered because he always
dreamed, but only about
playing baseball.
“That’s- unusual,” an-
nounced the doctor, “don’t
you ever dream about dat-
ing girls?”
“What, and*tose my place
at bat?”

HOW ABOUT
LAYING SLUMPS?
As feeding costs go up,
the loafipg, layer becomes a
more expensive “boarder.”
Often her appetite is undi-
minished, although she may
have ceased to lay eggs sev-
eral days before.
The high cost of poultry
feed leaves the average
producer the choice be-
tween two courses of action.
One is to cull more closely
the hon-layers. The alter-
nate is to attempt to get the
non-layer back into produc-
tion as quickly as possible,
before the drain on the
purse becomes burdensome.
Try a Tonic
Many poultry-raisers find
that the use of a concen-
trated antibiotic - vitamin
tonic will have a beneficial
effect on poor producers. In
this way they, are able to
keep the size of the flock at
the desired , level, without
having to support a few
loafers;
Of course'*! I" "lW ifllldVH-
able to waste too much time
and feed on lazy producers!
Any hen which fails to re-
spond within a reasonable
length of time should be
culled and sold.
Many poultrymen will
prefer culling the poor pro-
ducer* -immediately upon
noticing that their laying
record is not up to par. This
is a sure method for avoid-
ing unnecessary feed waste',
but on the other hand, it is
always possible that some of
the birds which were culled
might have developed into
good layers.
Watch for Signs
Spotting poor-laying birds
is not necessarily a difficult
task. There are several
tell-tale signs to look for
when culling, and some of
them are often quite dis-
tinct. The vent of a non-
layer is shrunken, dry, and
yellow in contrast to the
good producer's expanded,
moist, and faded vent.
The loafing bird’s comb
and wattles are shrunken
and scaly. The layer’s
comb and wattles are large,
waxy, and red.
Color tells the story of
egg production in yellow-
skinned breeds. The beak;
shanks, vent, and eye ring
of a good layer are faded,
often bleached. When the
bird ceases to lay, this col-
oring reappears.
Mrs. Louis Johnson re-
turned home Saturday after
spending three weeks in
New Braunfels with Mr.
and Mrs. Eli Profiri and
family.
