Which is the Mother.

Which ia the mother of the chick-the
hen that lays the egg or the hen that
matches it? This is question just de-
cided By Justice McManon, Of lie,
suaall but interesting suburb Of Brook
lyn. Il is the first case of the kind
known to have been brought into court,
and by reason of its unique Importance
the trial has occupied much Of the time
of the presiding justice. The facts are
that Farmer McCaughn and Farm er
Gormley are next door neighbors, and
their henneries adjoin each other.
McCaughn owns choice game birds, but
fowls belonging to his neighbor are of
the ordinary farmyard standard. 1t was
testified to that one of Farmer Nc
Caughn's hens scrambled over the fence,
and indiscreetly, if not wickedly and
feloniously, did lay two eggs, at divers
times, on Farmer Gormley's premises.
The triumphant note which heralded
this material achievement did not sug-
gest to Farmer Gormley the propriety of
picking up the eggs and delivering them
into the possession of the owner of the
hen. On the contrary, he promptly put
them under sitting hen owned by him.
self, and in due course of time they were
hatched.
So soon as their feathers and little red
combs began to grow Farmer McCaughn
observed that these dubious chickens
were full blooded game birds, like those
of his own hennery and he made a
demand for them. Farmer Gormley de-
MED the claim of ownership with empha.
sis and disdain. Tban Farmer Nc
Caughn summoned his chicken-raising
neighbor before the court for trial and
issue was Joined. The question was not
between hen and hen, but between far
mer and farmer, or, rather, it was
question as to whose hen was the mother
of the chickens. Now ordinary common
sense would suggest that as the Matching
of chickens is mere mechanical process,
chiefly dependent upon calorlc, as science
has demonstrated most thoroughly, it is
not characteristic, or necessarily even
suggestive of motherhood. The sitting
hen is unquestionably an efficient incu.
bator, and 80, too, would be rooster, if
you could get him to sit long enough
but who would presume to say that q
rooster could become a mother, even if
he should hatch a dozen broods !? Jus
tice McMahon has decided that Farmer
Gormley must surrender the two chick
ems to Farmer McCaughn, or pay to him
the full amount Of their value. But is
not Farmer Gormley entitled to pay for
the labor and services OF his hen in
Justice is righteous as to the main point
at issue, but he seems to have overlooked
the fundamental propriety of a counter
claim. We advise Farmer Gormley to
appeal.

t0getner WIN All the corn lOuueT
which he will eat, and an average Of
such feeding in winter would require
this ration for 60 to 20 days to put on
100 lbs. gain. So that at that rate
it would require at least 1000 lbs.
corn to produce 100 lbs. gain. But it
is presumed that OF this 100 lbs. not
more than 700 lbs is digested. The
rest is passed without digestion, and
is utilized, fiat all, by hogs. So it
depends entirely upon the mode OF
feeding as to the quantity of corn re-
quired to produce 100 lbs. gain, and
so it may be stated that the amount
of corn required for 100 lbs. gain will
range from 800 lbs, as in the case of
Mr.. Lewis, and a little more with
Mr.. Johnson, to 100 lbs. fed in the
open air.
?. The corn required to produce 100
lbs. gain upon sheep, is less than for
cattle, because sheep more perfectly
masticate and digest their food. From
experiments in feeding sheep upon
corn and hay, we have Id. corn per
day to produce an average gain of 3
lbs. per week, or 7 lbs. of corn, in~
Guiding hay, has produced a gain of
3 lbs. in live weight, and as the sheep
has a two.fold product, its gain in
weight and growth of wool, perhaps
the growth Of wool may offset the
hay fed, and thus, under the very
best circumstances, that 24O bushels
of corn might produce 100 lbs. Of live
weight upon sheep. But from some
large experiments it would probably
be nearer the actual results of feeding
to place the amount of corn required
under good management for large
numbers fed to be 400 lbs, corn for 10C
lbs. gain in live weight.
The hog is considered the most per.
feet utilizer Of food among animals
and after they are grown to about 100
ID. shoats they will fatten very well
upon corn alone. One of the largest
experiments recorded is that given
by the late Joseph Sullivan, of Ohio
who says, that at Duncan's Falls il
1859, very large number of hog
were weighed on the 10th Of Sept
and turned into 40-acre corn field
the corn being in the roasting stage
perhaps in the best condition for fat
tening hogs-and they remained il
that field till the 23d of October, hav
ing eaten down the field. They wer
again accurately weighed and founC
to have gained $1,000 lbs, or 10 lbs
per bushel of corn eaten, estimating
the yield at 40 bushels per acre.
Then, as an experiment, he selectet
from the lot 100 hogs, averaging 90
lbs. each, placed them in large Gov
cred pens with plank floors ant
troughs, and fed them upon cor
meal ground in the ear, and wei
steamed. At the end Of 10 days the
were weighed and found to hav
gained 20 lbs. to each bushel of 20 ID;
, meal fed, the weather at this tim
being mild. They were further fe
to test the effect of temperature, an
f as the weather became cold the graf
was reduced to 81 lbs. per bushel, IAN
when the thermometer reached fror
