How to Hatch Full Broods.

A little care with sitting hens will en-
able the farmer to get full brOOds, If he
will only take the trouble To select eggs
that are fertile. The better method is
to endeavor to place the eggs under two
or three hens on the same day, as there
aro nearly always two or three inclined
to sit about the Same time when the
flocks are large. Put not over dozen
eggs under each hen; in cold weather it
is best not to give them over eight each.
When the eggs have been in the nest
ABOUT ten days or two weeks. 60 to all
three of the nests and carry the eggs to
the house. Then, by holding an egg in
the left hand, and shading it with the
right, between the eye and a good light
"a cOal-oil lamp will answer) the posi-
ton of the air chamber at the top of the
large end may he observed. If this has
become enlarged, and the egg is very
dark from the air chamber to the small
end, the egg contains chick. If the
egg is clear or transparent it contains
no life. After selecting the dark eggs
shake each one gently, and if the fluid
strikes loosely against the shell it is
rotten, but if no motion in the egg is
experienced Dy the hanu place them
back in the nest, and boil the clear ones
for feeding young chickens already
Matched. BY using this plan the good
eggs that were formerly under three
hens can be placed under two, or one,
as the exigency demands, and the third
hen may BE- given another hatch along
with fresh trio. With a little judg-
ment and experience one can know
almost to certainty how many chicks
o hen will bring off.

walked him into the saloon and said:
"AllOw me to Introduce Gen. Alpaca
Smith, the hero of three wars and eighty
four battles"
"Sheneral, vhas glad to see YOU"
said the saloonist, and he set 'em up for
the three.
In the course of twenty minutes the
deceiyer returned with another stranger
on his arm and said:
"Allow me TO introduce Gen. Com
missary Jones, the man who fired the
first gun in the war"
''Sheneral, vhas pleased to shake
hands nit YOU" said the man of beer,
and he set 'em up again.
Then the friend went out and returned
with Gen. Hard Tack, and after him
came Gems. Debility and Back Pay.
The last one received a rather cool
greeting, and the beer glasses were not
quite full, and after he had departed the
saloonist turned to his friend and said ::
