response to bis checks. MT. M
E. White told I'd something about
eggs that we didn't know before. He
says he discovered by experience that
eggs carried or shipped some distance
for setting will hatch better if laid on
their side a day before setting. His
explanation is that while lying on end,
as they are arranged for shipping, the
woke gravitates toward the end, and
it should be allowed to settle back to
its natural position. By the way, we
forgot to ask him if they would hatch
if carried over a stream but We re-
member he said they could be shipped
to Europe and would hatch. 1t might
be too great a shock to eggs of conser-
vative old scrub hens; but the very
name af Plymouth suggests voyage.
