W. Prentis, of Rainham, England,
describes an interesting case of a wild
ducks forethOught. A moving ma
chine was set to work round the out
side OF Il field of lucerne bordering a
marsh, diminishing the circle each
time round the field, leaving about
two acres in the center. A wild duck
was seen by the shepherd to fly from
the piece of lucerne that was left
with something in her leak, and,
happening to fiy near him, she
dropped a three-parts incubated egg.
She was again observed by the shep-
herd, and also by the sheep-shearer,
carrying another egg in her beak, this
time over the marsh wall toward the
saltings; and again she was seen for
the third time TO carry an egg in her
beak in the same direction. Next day,
when the field was finished by the
removal OF the last piece of lucerne,
the wild ducks nest, from which the
eggs had been removed, was discov-
cred
