Culling Pays Dividends
To Poultry Producers
Regular culling pays dividends,
but many poultry farmers are unable
to carry out the procedure because
of pressure of other duties. How­
ever, as the moulting season ap­
proaches, It will be seen that ■ per­
centage of the flock commences to
moult earlier than others, and It Is
these early moulters that should be
segregated and sent off to market at
first opportunity.
