Culling and Butter Quality Pay Off for Iowa Farm Flock and Butter
A Lockridge Iowa flock is culled after a visit by W H Lapp with 126 hens removed. A new coop cost 159 dollars and the following year income totaled 588 51 dollars. In 1921 Iowa counties held 4405 meetings with 874330 birds examined and 290000 culled. Butter should be not too salty and must use fine grain salt for best flavor and scoring.
