Don’t Waste Feed.

Npt all of the early-hatched pullets will make good winter layers. An earlyhatched pullet that is Undersize at this season will never make a good hen. A late-hatched pullet that is well grown and developed at the time of selecting the birds which are to make up the winter laying flock gives better promthe poorly developed, earlyhatcheffpullet. If proper care is given It should begin laying in midwinter. Don’t waste feed on any except the promising pullets. They should have good care and good feed at all stages. It is impossible to grow pullets carelessly and on short rations until they reach the age when they should be full-grown and mature, and then bring them forward quickly by. a short course of good management. The pullet that is worth keeping as a layer is worth good care and full rations all the time. One that is not considered worth keeping should be eaten or marketed. Undersized birds will not pay for the feed they eat during winter.
