The growing pullet Is a creature of habit, thoroughly addicted to regular ity and vigorously opposed to disturb ance and unusual commotion. It is essential for the good of the flock In its entirety that the pullets should grow and improve like clockwork, from the time of hatching to maturity. Laying is often retarded by seemingly trivial disturbances, such as moving the fowl from place to place and changing the makeup of the ration. In order to Insure early eggs see to It that the growth of the pullets is not retarded in any manner whatever. Almost without exception the pullet whose growth from hatching to ma turity has been regular, not subject to- checks and Interruptions. Is an early layer. In support of the state ment that checked growth results in retarded laying, comes the fact that May-hatched pullets often lay earlier than others which were hatched In April but retarded in the early stages of their growth by unfavorable weather. 1 tetr k tion by weather conditions, however, is only one of many factors which may stunt the nor mal growth of a pullet and defer her entrance to the laying class. As a rule, egg production begins at or before the cessation of the pullet’s physical growth and development of the reproductive organs. Generally, Influences which hinder growth also operate to delay egg production for several months. Any disturbance af fecting the habits, quarters or com fort of the pullet at any stage of her life may retard laying. Shifting the birds from place to place and abrupt changes in the diet often, disturb the fowl enough to retard laying. In fact, poultry fanciers who desire to keep pullets In condition for exhibition often use this means of keeping them from laying. On the average, pullets about to begin laying are more sen sitive to disturbances than at any oth- Elliott's Tire Shop in Connection Your Chance 591235:20 Try It At Our Expense SANITARY FLOOR ENAMEL The Neu) Coaling for ON F loor3 YANIZE Sanary Raer Lod is the nowet and Inct coating produced to riche old floors new.
