NATURAL INCUBATION.
How to Treat the Hens During the Period
 ot Eatching.


 ot Hatching.
 If you wish to use hens to do the in- cubating it is a good plan to have | room separate from the main house with not too much light. Make an effort to set as many hens at a time as possible. It will require but little more time and care to look after six hens than 1t will one. Two or three days is i none too long for the hen to sit on china or nest eggs before giving the ones you wish her to hatch. She will have become accustomed to the place, will have shaped the nest to her notion, and will have it nice and warm. Give each hen as many eggs as she can con veniently cover. Watch them care fully for two or three days to see that there are no eggs left to get cold. Dur ing the first 48 hours the hen shoulo sit perfectly quiet, says poultryman, as it takes just that time to start the embryo chick on its life voyage. We mo- tice the hen seldom leaves the nest or turns the egg during this time. After they have sat quietly for four or five days, prepare yourself with more fresh eggs, and go in the evening with good light and tester and test each egg. A little practice will soon enable you to pick out the infertile ones. When you have completed your work, give each hen the number you wish her to cover. Fair sized hens should have Il, never more than Is. On the average. hens will hatch more vigorous chicks from II eggs than any higher number.
 We might go on through the 21 days and describe the eggs as we have broken them and seen the spider-lilze little animal, and noticed the pulsa- tion of the heart, etc., but we will leave this for the incubator people. Finally on the 2Oth day the impris- oned chick has drawn its last nutri- tion from the egg, its vital heat and circulating blood have absorbed every particle of the substance of the egg, and there remains only the vigorous little animal anxious to get out Its prison cell is punctured by thousands of pores that always break first at the bigger end of the egg, because it is al- ways less moist and more brittle at that end. There, too, the head of the little chick is turned for air, and the beak breaks through the rotten wall, finds more fresh air, presses hard in that direction, and soon breaks away from all feeble resistance, and thus ends the period of its incubation Farmers Voice.
