Show Trapnesting Pullets . Pullets do not lay with such mii-chine-like regularity as to enable the trapnest to mark desirable birds at each month's closing. The number num-ber of eggs in er -at aNgiven time is but one indication of prospective value. Early maturity, -or production produc-tion at a comparatively early a- is an Indication of good yearly production, though this should be accompanied by good weight and should not be at the expense of size and flesh. A high rate of production pro-duction Is also a mark of value, as it is commonly accompanied by good annual production. These indications indica-tions may be observed in the first three or four months of laying. The evidences of vigor and ability to maintain weight during production produc-tion are also to be considered In culling, which, after all, cannot be conducted upon a cut-and-drieO formula, with number of eggs laid within a given time the only criticism. |
