HENS THAT STEAL THEIR NESTS.

All wild birds deposit their eggs in some
concealed place. According to their habits
they select place for their nests in a hol-
low tree, in thicket OF bushes, clump of
grass or amid the dense foliage of trees and
bushes. Birds that build their nests on the
ground approach them cautiously and leave
them so that they will not attract attention.
Fowls that still retain some of their old
wild habits, as the guinea-hen and pea-fowls
choose places for building nests where they
are not likely to be disturbed. The pheas-
ant, which is but partly domesticated, will
not lay or set on eggs when hept in confine-
ment. The guinea-hen and pea-fowl will
rarely, If ever, set on eggs in an artificial
nest placed in building. Before they COM
mence to lay they may be seen searching
for some secluded spot in which to deposit
their eggs.
Hens when allowed to roam at large as
they do in warm countries, where they pick
up most OF their food in the woods, select
places tor nests in the same way wild birds
do. If the object is to procure eggs for the
table or for the market, it is well to have
them deposited in nests that are conspicu-
Gus and easy to approach, as the sooner
they are gathered in the better their condi-
ton will be. If. on the other hand, chick
ems are desired, then the hen should be al
lowed to lay eggs in nest the location of
which is known only to herself. She should
also be allowed to sit on them without be-
ing disturbed, and to bring forth her brood
OF chickens in good time, as she will ordi-
narily do. Common observation shows that
hens are more successful in rearing large

the land. He holds the balance of political
power, and the republic will rejoice when
his rights are asserted. The clod-hoppper
of the past has become the honored and re-
spected citizens of to-day. The future if
rightly improved, will bring nothing but
continued prosperity and happiness. The
farmers duties are well defned-he has
only to persevere in the attainment of that
special knowledge which his profession re-
quires, and his moral, social, political pros
perity is assured.-Er

hocks OF fine chicks that are permitted to
''stcal their nests'' and to remain in quiet
possessiyn of them.
"A 'stolen nest' is rarely in good place
for obtaining the eggs, but is almost 1nvari-
ably IN good place for hatching them. 1t
is ordinarily near the ground in the side of
NOW or stack of hay, where there is little
danger of being visited by other hens for
the porpose of depositing eggs. Since
poultry-raising has been elevated to the
rank OF science and many appliances have
been introduced for Matching eggs and rear
Ing chickens, the increase Of fowls has been
slow and very uncertain. Many poultry
fanciers haye recommended removing the
eggs from nests as soon as they were laid,
storing them in cool place. and returning
them to the nest few days after the hen
showed an inclination to set. Some have
advised allowing several hens to set on
nests arranged in rows, and an examination
OF the eggs at stated times.
1t often happens, however, that some SUI
perannuated biddy that has never enjoyed
the advantages of the information contain
ed in modern poultry books and periodicals
"steals her nests and matches and raises
more chickens than all the hens that were
privileged to occupy nests constructed on
philosophical principles. and whose eggs
were tested every few days by the and of
delicate apparatus. The knowledge an ex-
perienced hen has of of her own particular
business is profound. 1t is fortunate for
persons who delight in eating fine fowls
that she is not conversant with the poultry
literature of her day and generation. 1t she
was, the noble race of hens might become
extinct in a few years. Then there would
be no cocks to crow in the morn, no Easter
eggs, no omlets, no chicken pot-pie except
the sort served up in boarding houses, and
generally made of scraps of beef, steak and
the leavings OF roast of veal.
Eggs lettin nests where they are laid
generally retain their vitality better than if
kept elsewhere. The periodic visits OF the
hen apparently exerts stimulating infiu-
ence in preserving the embryo in yigor
Gus state. There is no advantage in exam
lining the eggs under a setting hen except
to remove such as are broken, and 1t has
often been observed that there are no brok-
en- eggs in a ''stolen nest.'' Such a nest is
not visited by any strange hens. The reg
ular occupant is never frightened from it,
while it is generally so constructed that it is
easy to approach and leave the eggs with
out breaking them. Stealing nests'' is a
variety OF theft that deserves to be eneour-
aged. To this end there should be good
ly number of holes in the foundations of
barns, and various boxes accidentally drop
ped within easy reach of the poultry house.

that he can, by his plan, reduce bran to one
fifth its bulk, ground oats to one-third its
bulk, and other ground grains to one-half

that car-wheels can be made of it. and bids

POULTRY need far more care during damp
rainy or wet weather than during the dry,
of winter, for dampness endangers numer-
Gus disorders. many of which are difficult
to cure; therefore it is always better to ap-
ply the preventive than to administer a
supposed cure. The present winter has
been model one for chickens that have
had good care and shelter, but look out for
sickness when the snow begins to melt and
and our spring rains come on.
