Thomas Scott, of Middletown. is trying
the rather novel experiment of raising
young cartridges by Matching the eggs IN
der a common hen. Some time ago he
found a nest of nine eggs aud placed them
under domestic fowl, which was just
ready to set, and now he has half dozen
cartridges. One of the eggs failed to hatch
and two Of the young birds died, leaving
six out of the nine. They are lively and
healthy as they possibly could be in their
wild state, while their mother hen seems
perfectly satisfied with her young brood,
but at times eyes them in way that would
lead one to believe that she is not entirely
in ignorance of the fact that they are not of
her feather. Mr.. Scott will try his best
to raise the birds, and if successful will
have quite curiosity in the way of a flock
of tame cartridges.
