t, Some women make a great fuss and
labor hard in trying to persuade a hen
not to SET The same amount of work and
ingenuity directed in another channel
might revolutionize society in some partic-
ular, but she never thinks of that. To
prevent fifty-oent hen from setting a
woman will devote SIS worth of time and
labor. But certain New Jersey woman
is an exception. She placed red hot
glass egg in the nest and the hen soon
lost all appetite for setting. The fact that
the barn was burned down and the hen
persisted in the flames may deter some
women from trying the same experiment,
but it can be recommended as going right
to the spot,
