SETTING HENs.-On this subject a cores
pondent of the Gcrmunt0Wn Telegraph writes
as follows :-"Ncvcr allow your hens more
than a dozen of eggs to incubate. a large
number is not desirable under any circum-
stances. When more are accorded, the hen,
unless of very large size, will be unable to in
cubate them ctlcctually, and loss will follow
as necessary and unavoidable result, Fur
nish warm nest, and he sure to provide lib
cral feed, with sutiicicncv of pure water
from the well or spring. The apartment in
which the incubation is performed, should be
dark and silent, and so secured from the IN
trusion of all other fowls and of vernin, as
to prevent interruption from any source. y
nest of fine straw well dried, or of woodland
moss, is perhaps the best: it is elastic and
warm and retains heat without becoming
humid. A spoonful Of ashes sprinkled occa-
Sonly over the nest, or few drops OF on
appIied to the neck of back of the hen, will
tend to keep off ycrmin, particularly those
with which the hen during the tedious and
painful process ofincuIaton, ismost common
ly infested"
